How can I eat to support my immune health while pr

How can I eat to support my immune health while pregnant? ⁣
⁣
During pregnancy, your immune system is slightly suppressed which is why you are more susceptible to certain illnesses.⁣
⁣
Though all macro and micronutrients are important for optimal health for both you and baby, there are certain nutrients that play specific roles in our immune system. ⁣
⁣
Being mindful of these and the foods that are high in them can help ensure you are consuming enough of them to maximize your immunity. ⁣
⁣
Together these six foods are good sources of vitamin C, probiotics, zinc, vitamin A, glycine, & more!⁣
⁣

⁣
And remember your "why." WHY you are choosing to provide nourishment for this life-creating journey! 🤰⁣

What even is DHA you may ask? 👇🏼⁣ ⁣ DHA,

What even is DHA you may ask? 👇🏼⁣
⁣
DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, is involved in developing your baby’s brain. ⁣
⁣
It is also a key structural component of the retina which is important for proper eye development. ⁣
⁣
Since DHA is so important for brain development, research leads us to believe it has a role in cognitive abilities and even in the development of psychiatric disorders. ⁣
⁣
You can get DHA from food and supplements. Of course, the emphasis should be on foods, but this can sometimes be a challenge, especially when you are pregnant and don't want to eat things like fish.⁣
⁣
For example, 3 ounces of wild-caught salmon has around 1400 mg of DHA. ⁣
⁣
But, how much do you need per day? What other types of fish should you include? Do you need to supplement? What supplement is best? Can you supplement with too much? ⁣
⁣
Inside @theprenatalnutritionlibrary, we are making sure you feel confident with your DHA intake to help baby thrive in the womb and in life!⁣

⁣
The foods pictured above are good sources of nutrient-dense, higher-calorie foods as well as nutrients to pay extra attention to when pregnant with multiples!⁣
⁣
For example, zinc is important for your baby's brain development among other functions. ⁣

Can't tolerate water during pregnancy?! 🤢💦⁣
⁣
We know how important staying hydrated during pregnancy is, buttt... ⁣
⁣
sometimes that's easier said than done when nausea and aversions hit.⁣
⁣
If you can relate, first, know that you are not alone. Second, fluids do not have to be solely water. ⁣
⁣
Give these ideas a try 👇⁣
⁣
1. smoothies ⁣
[easy way to sneak in fruits, protein, & some veggies]⁣
⁣
2. popsicles ⁣
[delicious & typically well-tolerated]⁣
⁣
3. hydrating foods ⁣
[like melon + cucumber also count towards fluid intake]⁣
⁣
Teas, broths, soups, coconut water, and electrolyte beverages are all ways to help up the fluids too!⁣
⁣
