Potatoes
There is as much vitamin C in it as in apples! To maximize the preservation of useful substances, prepare potatoes in a uniform. If you have swelling, arrange a potato day - eat only baked potatoes, seasoning it with a small amount of iodized salt.
Vegetables and fruits
Let in your daily menu there will be 5-6 servings of vegetables and fruits - this will cover your body's need for vitamins, minerals and ballast substances. Do not cook vegetables for long, cook more salads, use a steamer, drink fresh vegetable and fruit juices.
Animal protein
Meat contains a lot of protein, the most important B vitamins and iron. Future mothers enough to eat 2-3 servings of meat a week, and varieties of meat (chicken, beef, pork) is better alternate. The number of eggs is no more than 3 per week. In addition, every day you still need 3 servings of milk or dairy products (yoghurt, cottage cheese, cheese). They are rich in calcium and protein, which is what your kid needs to build a skeleton.
Vegetable protein
Legumes - soy, lentils (especially well digested red), peas, as well as all kinds of nuts help the body make up for a lack of protein. Do not forget also about the seeds of sesame, sunflower and pumpkin - they can be slightly heated in a pan (without oil) and added to salads.
Sea fish
Since the thyroid gland of your baby starts working from the 12th week after conception, it is necessary that you have enough iodine in your menu. At least 2 times a week, eat herring, mackerel, cod, haddock.
Sweets without harm
Honey. Contains many vitamins and microelements, rich in enzymes and biologically active substances. Of course, this product is quite high in calories, however, according to experts in Ayurveda. it helps to break down fat, preventing its deposition in problem areas. Sea buckthorn. Contains a lot of vitamin C and is great for enriching the taste of muesli and cottage cheese.
Correct fats

Which drinks are better?
Mineral water, vegetable and fruit juices - drink to your health! The total amount of liquid drunk should be at least 1.5 liters per day. In Ayurveda, freshly boiled milk is considered a wonderful soothing. And if you are cold, milk will also help you. Bring it to a boil, add a little nutmeg, vanilla. This drink regulates metabolism. To support your beauty will help an ancient Indian remedy - in folk medicine of this country it is believed that boiling water has healing properties, helping to remove from the body slag and harmful substances. This improves the blood supply to the skin. So, proceed: cleaned water boil for 10 minutes on medium heat, then pour into a thermos and drink on a small throat every half hour during the day. This is especially useful for a future mother, because with this procedure improves metabolism, and so-called maculae of pregnant women disappear, the skin clears. In conclusion, I want to say that Ayurveda is very supportive of the food fads of expectant mothers - there is an opinion that this is how the baby signals about what substances he lacks. But still know the measure and do not lean on the sweet - let a bag of nuts (almonds, hazelnuts), dried fruits will be a substitute for cakes and chocolate. Do not impose yourself a dish of those foods that, maybe, are useful, but you do not like. Enjoy every meal, do not rush, think that any dish gives you not only satiety, but energy for the soul and body.
