essential nutrients to the diet of mothers during pregnancy. The deficit of some of these substances can cause problems for the health of the mother or the fetus, as well as complicating the time of delivery, so that is very important to monitor your presence in our daily diet, either as part of the diet or as supplements prescribed by the doctor.
If in the previous article I talked about the importance of folic acid and iron today discuss other two key substances for pregnant mothers: calcium and iodine.
calcium, as probably everyone knows, is the most important mineral in the formation of the skeleton. WHO recommends an intake of about 1,500 milligrams of calcium a day for pregnant women; this amount can be taking five servings of dairy foods per day.
For example, may consume a glass of milk, a yogurt or 50 grams of cheese cured by ration.In addition to those derived from milk, also have plenty of calcium soya beans, broccoli, sardines in oil, squid and the anchovies.
With regard to iodine, is also an important albeit to a lesser extent than the three previous substance. Its presence in the diet of pregnant women is associated with the neural development of the baby.In a healthy diet where the fish is not missing, there are enough iodine to not require a supplement;but as a precaution should be taken in the form of pills during the time indicated by the physician.
