Nutrition in the last weeks of pregnancy

It is especially important for a pregnant woman to keep her appetite in check during the 8-9 months of pregnancy, when the weight of a child is accumulating. Many naturopaths offer the last 2-3 weeks in general to switch to a fruit and vegetable diet in order to cleanse the body of the toxins accumulated during these months and to facilitate the process of childbirth as much as possible. In the Russian climate it is more reasonable that this diet also include lactic acid products: yoghurts, kefir, cottage cheese and cheese, as well as vegetable proteins: beans, soy, nuts. One has only to understand: this milk-vegetable diet does not mean that the woman "starves" herself and the child with hunger.

Fruit-vegetable or milk-vegetable diet will automatically limit the growth of excessive weight in the last month. At the same time, it will provide both the mother and the future child with all the nutrients needed to promote health and will not allow accumulation of excess fat reserves.

At the same time, the body of a woman will be cleared of the toxins that accumulate in it due to the poor environmental situation in the country. Do not forget the sad fact: 50% of Russia's population lives in an unfavorable ecological situation!

Thanks to this diet, the baby's bones do not have time to harden, during the delivery process, the bones of the skull will be able to go in one by one, protecting the baby from birth injuries. Births are much easier, painless, faster, the woman does not get ruptured, and cases of surgical intervention at birth are much less likely.

In addition, the fruit and vegetable diet, or at least the restriction of concentrated protein foods in the last days before giving birth, provides a woman with the opportunity to breastfeed, without which an infant can not grow up to be an absolutely healthy person. In addition, women who watch their weight and adhere to a healthy diet, quickly acquire their former harmony, they do not hang their stomach, remains agile and flexible. However, this is no less related to physical activity during pregnancy, which will be discussed in more detail below.

For those women whose gastrointestinal tract does not tolerate a large amount of raw cellulose, you can make compotes, kissels, baked apples, mousses, juice diluted with filtered liquid decoction of oatmeal, make porridge with fruits and dried fruits, etc. Most of us forgot how to chew,so you can rub apples on a fine grater, and smash the dried fruits with a mixer in a puree.
