Nutrition during pregnancy should be as colorful and free of toxins as possible. Organic foods and your own pesticide-free garden offer a great selection. If you suffer from nausea in the first months, traditional home remedies can help.
A weight gain of around 12 kg during pregnancy is considered ideal – it makes losing weight afterward easier. Gaining 30 kg, however, puts stress on connective tissue, veins, and lymphatic vessels. Dieting during pregnancy or breastfeeding is not recommended, as it can release toxins and cause unnecessary stress for both mother and baby.
Valuable Sources of Nutrients
- seasonal and organic vegetables
- leafy salads
- fruits and berries
- grains (kamut, spelt, rice, quinoa, amaranth, etc.)
- drink plenty of water and herbal teas
- fish (North Atlantic, followfish, organic)
- meat (local, organic)
Tips & Recommendations
Vegans and vegetarians should pay special attention to supplementing with vitamin D3, calcium, iron, and all B vitamins! These supplements should also come from organic sources. The same rules apply during breastfeeding.
I recommend doing a bioresonance test early on to check for any sensitivities the baby may have to cow’s milk, eggs, wheat, etc. If needed, these can be treated.
Please note: Not all organic products are the same! The "Demeter" and "Bioland" labels are among the most strictly regulated and therefore the safest.
