Eating healthy is important. Eating healthy while pregnant is very
important. It’s not only you that you
have to think about, but your baby as well.
Making the right food choices will greatly benefit you and your
baby. You will feel better and have more
energy, as well as greatly increase your chances of having a strong, healthy
baby. Picking a variety of foods that
come from all 5 food groups helps your body get all the nutrients that it needs
to grow your little one. Did you know
that you only need an extra 300 calories per day when you’re pregnant? Those extra calories should come from foods
that are high in nutrients. What you eat while pregnant DOES affect your baby. By making good, healthy choices, your body,
and your baby, will thank you. If you’d
like to know more, please join me in a nutrition workshop at Tarrant County College Southeast.
