Taking care of yourself during pregnancy is essential for you and your baby, and nutrition is a key part of that care if you don't want to gain unnecessary weight that you'll regret after giving birth. You need extra vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, and you don't have to deprive yourself of cravings or indulgences; you just need to choose them wisely. Healthy habits are fundamental for our bodies to function properly at any stage of life, but they are crucial during pregnancy. Eating a variety of foods in a balanced way is the most advisable diet for those nine months. As a general rule, you should try to avoid those foods with low nutritional value that only provide fats, calories, and sugars, such as candies, cookies, or bags of chips, and opt for those that contain the nutrients you and your baby need: vitamins, carbohydrates, folic acid (essential), proteins, etc. In most cases, the weight gained during pregnancy is due to that feeling of hunger that occurs more frequently and, of course, needs to be addressed. There are many ideas for healthy, delicious, and nutritious snacks between meals. Take note of the following recipes and eat healthily while caring for your baby.
