Cellular nutrition is essential during pregnancy and the prenatal period, we must increase all the needs of vitamins and minerals. Here we inform which ones we should focus on to live a harmonious pregnancy and recover faster during the prenatal period.
Folic acid is essential to prevent neural tube defects (spina bifida and anencephaly) and prevent preterm birth. You should increase its consumption the months before pregnancy and during the first trimester for a correct fetal and placental development. You can consume Giving greens – Optimal V months before pregnancy to prevent deficiencies.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D helps to increase the absorption of calcium, the requirement of which is higher. It is found in Optimal V – Purenourish.
However, the body also produces vitamin D with sun exposure, so we recommend going outside and taking a walk.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is necessary for the development of the nervous system and the growth of the fetus in general. It also participates in carbohydrate metabolism which is altered during this period. It is found in Optimal V – Purenourish.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is essential in the formation of fetal spina bifida, along with vitamin B6.
Its contribution is sufficient with that containing Optimal V.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is involved in the processes of growth and repair of fetal tissues. It also improves the absorption of iron and the immune system.
We found it Vináli – Giving greens – Optimal V – Purenourish – Tahitian noni.
Iron
The supply of iron is essential because the mother’s blood volume increases. In addition, during childbirth there is blood loss, so its requirements are usually high even the prenatal period.
Ensures at least 2 doses of 30 ml, daily, the consumption of the following food: Tahitian noni
To prevent deficiencies and improve their absorption, take it on an empty stomach and together with vitamin C, and always without coffee or tea, as they reduce its absorption.
Calcium
In pregnancy calcium recommendations are 950 mg/day – 2 capsules of Optimal M (75 mg) + 1 serving of Purenourish (40 mg) + 2 capsules of Vináli (692 mg) + 1 serving of Giving greens (30 mg) = 837 mg of calcium, 200 mg more than in a healthy adult woman. Its deficit decreases maternal and fetal bone density, can cause hypertension and low fetal weight.
Iodine
Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, responsible for the basal metabolism of pregnant or breastfeeding women. During pregnancy and the prenatal period, thyroid hormones increase due to their contribution to fetal growth and tissue maturation.
A lack of iodine influences the development of the child’s nervous system, but you have to be careful, since an excess can cause alterations in the thyroid gland of the newborn.
At this time the woman needs 50 μg more than normal. You can get them by consuming Optimal M – Purenourish so it is difficult to have a lack.
Micronutrient Summary: vitamins and minerals
The fat must come mainly from olive oil. But it is also convenient to choose this nutritional product with omega 3 or Omega Q fat, from fish oil (EPA – 295 mg, DHA – 235 mg per capsule) and coenzyme Q10 (such as ubiquinone), DHA acid is essential in the development of the nervous system of the fetus and baby.
Olive oil is the great reference of the Mediterranean diet, due to its content of oleic acid, vitamin e and other antioxidants. This food helps to:
This oil always has to be your daily fat of choice for cooking and dressing your dishes, or even include it with bread at breakfast. If it is extra virgin, the organoleptic and nutritional quality will be much higher.
3-5 tablespoons / day
Avoid the consumption of saturated fats, present in foods of animal origin, which can mean more digestive discomfort at the beginning of pregnancy and excessive weight gain, with the risks involved (gestational diabetes, hyper-cholesterolemia, preeclampsia, etc.).
