Babies demand the best and no time is more important for ideal nutrition than while you are pregnant. Even if you have a balanced diet before becoming pregnant, during pregnancy it is necessary to make adjustments to compensate for the new demands of your body as well as those of your baby.
A balanced diet is the secret to maternal-fetal health and the best guarantee of prevention for deviations from normality. For example, a diet deficient in zinc and omega-3 increases the probability of developing stretch marks and even postpartum depression.
Functional nutrition appointments in pregnancy allow you to adjust your diet along the different needs inherent to pregnancy and to customize supplementation according to the necessary and ideal needs for each woman. They can also be an important tool to deal with some discomforts and undesirable symptoms, using a functional and integrative approach.
The principal reasons for using nutrition appointment in pregnancy are:
- To evaluate the nutritional status of the woman and the adequacy of her diet to the nutritional needs of her body during pregnancy and to those of the developing fetus, with recourse to supplementation when necessary (including guidelines for vegetarian and vegan diets);
- Learn to use nutrition as a therapeutic tool in the case of anemia, constipation, gestational diabetes, depression, heartburn, cramps, high blood pressure, morning sickness, among many others.
The nutrition appointment can be performed at UTERUS premises or online.
