Dropping this here ๐
Nutrition in pregnancy continues
Trying to conceive (TTC) and pregnant mothers MUST eat an adequate diet
What is adequate diet?๐
This is food that contains all the six classes of food in a right proportion
They are
Carbohydrate, Protein, Fat, Vitamins, Minerals and water.
When preparing your food just take your time to think about the content of what you are preparing.
Check if you are having all the classes of food
eg a plate of rice you are eating should have rice as carbohydrates,
protein can be from fish, meat, egg and crayfish
Fat from oil
Where we normally have problems is vitamins, minerals and water
If I may ask how many of us add vegetables to our jollof rice?
How many of us add vegetables to our beans and yam?
How many of us add vegetables to our yam portage?
My lovely mothers, any plate of food you have and it doesn't contain vegetables( spinach , pumpkin, cucumber, garden egg, etc) ๐ฅฆ๐ฅฆ my dear is not for you ๐๐๐๐
This moment in your life is not a moment of I don't like this, I don't like that ehhh
yes it is not
If u don't like it, our baby likes it and you should eat it๐๐๐๐๐
we are liking it for our adorable baby๐๐๐
madam please when it comes to that child in your Tommy or about entering that Tommy ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธsee anything called jonkes is kept aside.
Because you must get it right. I repeat MUST.
HMMMMM MUSTOOO.
Ehee before I forget FRUIT ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ( orange, banana, mango, guava, watermelon, apple, etc) please just marry them, romance them into your stomach anyhow anyhow, nothing do you.
Fruit and vegetables are packed with powerful vitamins, nutrients, fibre and antioxidants.
All these are important for a healthy pregnancy.
They provide key nutrients, such as vitamin C, carotenoids, and folic acid, which all contribute to your baby's growth and development.
That is why we shouldn't joke with them.
Eheeee! you see water! hmmmm, you must turn to frog if you can.
You must drink water as if your life depends on it.
Please๐๐๐๐๐ don't take water only when you are thirsty.
You must take at least 6 sachets of water a day.
yes๐ฅน๐ฅน๐ฅน you must because it is important for you and that of our baby.
Thank you!!!! Love you!!! See you tomorrow for more lectures. Bye ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
