grains, nuts and seeds are the most powerful health building food for all. Eaten raw or sprouted if possible (some grains should be cooked), contain all the essential nutrients for human growth, food, and ongoing optimum health.

well-balanced diet based on whole grains and whole grains (brown bread, rice, pasta, buckwheat, rye, oats), nuts and seeds, legumes and beans, fresh fruits and vegetables, pure unrefined oils such as cold-pressed olive oil, with some fish and eggs, if necessary.

Fruits and vegetables are good sources of vitamins, minerals and trace elements, provided that you eat the right way.

They should be fresh, or raw or quickly cooked, steamed or stir-fried, and preferably consumed immediately after they are harvested.

Salt is necessary to maintain the extra volume of blood, enough to supply the placental blood, and to guard against dehydration and shock from blood loss at birth (except in cases of kidney and heart problems) proposed a form of salt Himalayan Pink salt.

Proteins

• The form the basic building blocks of our body tissues, cells, hormones and antibodies.
• Food to fuel the growth of the uterus, which can grow to 30 times its original size during the gestation period of nine months Add the development of breast, placenta, the development of breast milk, baby body.

Proteins are divided into complete and incomplete:

complete proteins contain significant amounts of all essential amino acids, can be found in meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk and soy products.

vegetable proteins are incomplete and contain some of the essential amino acids. Some vegetarian protein sources are complete: buckwheat, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, almonds, and

.

plant proteins are easier for our body to digest and produce less toxic waste from animal proteina.Vlakana the plant also has a very beneficial effect on the bowel. Ensures a healthy bowel movement and correct bacterial population in the intestines, and prevents the accumulation of putrefactive bacteria produce excess animal proteins

Eating meat and meat products also carries a risk of chemical and hormonal residues found in intensively reared animals. Also, soy or soy products are mainly genetically engineered, so it is wise to stay clear of them.

pregnant women need about 60 to 75 grams of protein a day.

The best and cleanest sources of protein include green vegetables, spirulina, seeds (hemp, flax, sesame, poppy, sunflower, chia, quinoa, amaranth ).

real strength and building material comes from:

• green - leafy vegetables, seeds and superfoods. They contain all the amino acids are looking for.

essential fatty acids are vital to the

• The development of the child nervous and immune systems. They build cell walls in all our tissues, and so that the trace elements and fat-soluble vitamins (A, E, D ​​and K) can be absorbed.
• EFA's are required to adrenal and sex hormones, and for maintaining a healthy population of bacteria in the intestines.
• They are also essential for normal fetal brain development:. 70 percent of all essential fatty acids go to the brain

Higher fatty foods include:

avocado, borage oil, raw cacao beans (chocolate NUTS), coconut oil / butter, flaxseed oil, grape seeds, hemp seed oil (cold pressed), all kinds of nuts (cashews must be soft to be true "raw"), Nut butter (almond butter is great), and olive oil (stone pressed or cold pressed), peanuts (must be certified aflatoxin free), poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds and their oils (cold pressed) sesame seeds , sunflower seeds, tahini (sesame butter), or better yet, if you can get hold of it in health food stores unhulled tahini (alkaline-fat, high in calcium), Young Coconuts (young Thai coconuts are available in the U.S. in Asian markets), coconut milk, coconut (ripe ).

superfoods

Superfoods are foods with extraordinary properties. Generally, they contain all the essential amino acids, high levels of minerals and a wide array of unique and even rare nutrients. I have included superfoods in the dietary advice below.

Some prominent superfoods include:

1) Himalayan Pink Salt - offers 84 mineral elements exactly identical to your body

.

2) Spirulina (spiral algae consumed for thousands of years of indigenous people in Mexico and Africa)
-This is the highest concentration of protein on Earth. 60%
-It is also very high in iron, and many other vitamins and minerals.
-This is one of the highest sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) on the planet. Only breast milk is higher.
-It is recommended that more Spirulina during lactation, due to GLA.
-Spirulina is very high in human-active B12.

3) Blue-Green Algae (Klamath Lake algae fantastic brain foods). It is high in protein, chlorophyll, vitamins, and minerals and boosts the immune system.

i value in the pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, lactation and to increase the impact on brain function.

4) Bee pollen (wild pollen, not orchard pollen should be used and should come from ethically harvested sources where bees are treated with respect. Bee Pollen is the most complete natural food) All amino acids, the immune system, brain, eyes .

5) flax, sunflower, Chia, sesame and pumpkin seeds are best used. Flaxseeds are an excellent, mostly vegetarian source of omega-3 essential fatty acids, important for the immune system, nervous system and brain development. I recommend one fifty-nine tablespoons a day of raw and heating oil, or three to six tablespoons of freshly ground flaxseeds. (Use a coffee grinder). You May also grind the other above the seeds and add them to salads and fruit salads.

6) Wild young coconuts (not to be confused with white Thai coconuts on the market, wild coconuts are one of the greatest food on earth. Coconut water and soft internal body forces are amplified, electrolyte-rich, mineral-rich, youthening and invigorating. Great in smoothies.

NUTRITION ADVICE

Here are some nutrition tips that will help you both:

1) to get enough folic acid. 400 micrograms (mcg) a day. Folic acid reduces the chance of birth defects such as spina bifida. Especially in the first 6 weeks of pregnancy.

2) Best Food Sources of folic acid are green leafy raw vegetables, including spinach, kale, beet greens, beets, chard, asparagus, and broccoli. Starchy vegetables containing folic acid as corn, lima beans, peas, sweet peas, sweet potatoes, artichokes, okra, and parsnips. Oats are rich in folic acid, and whole wheat brown bread. Many fruits are folic acid, such as oranges, melons, pineapples, bananas, berries, including many loganberries, boysenberries and strawberries. Also, fresh sprouts, such as lentils, mung bean sprouts are an excellent source. REMINDER:. Folic acid is available from fresh, unprocessed food, which is why it is so often lack in our culture has been processed, food nutrition

3) eat your fish. Getting enough DHA (found in abundance in seafood and flaxseed) is one of the most important things you can do for you and your developing baby's health. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acids that can stimulate brain development of babies before birth, resulting in better vision, memory, motor skills and understanding of language in early childhood. Eat at least 12 ounces a week of low mercury fish, or a DHA supplement like krill oil.

• Avoid large fish such as predatory shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish. (As big fish eat smaller fish, larger, longer-living ones accumulate more mercury ).

• seaweed and cilantro remove heavy metals and radioactive isotopes in the tissues.

5) Avoid caffeine. In large quantities causes birth defects and still births, miscarriages and premature deliveries

Herbal medicines are for the most part certainly be taken during pregnancy, some are useful alternatives to drugs, both in chronic and acute minor problems, such as can occur during pregnancy. It's still better to take no medication of any in the first three months, unless there is a specific problem that needs treatment.
