The fact that we should avoid alcohol, raw meat and caffeine during pregnancy is all too often pressed upon us. But what exactly should we do for a healthy pregnancy? Our editors found out for you!
It starts before pregnancy
Every day we receive many requests for advice from pregnant women who want the best for their baby. We love to see how health awareness is growing. And yet, we would like to start working on the health of these women one step earlier in the process.
We do not have 100% influence on how our pregnancy goes, but this does not mean that we have no influence. After all, a baby is better able to develop properly in a healthy body, and that begins even before pregnancy. Do you want to have children? Be aware that you can do something for your future child now.
Brain food becomes even more important
From our vision, we strive for a healthy lifestyle and a brain in balance for each individual. As important as Brain Food already is, it becomes even more important during pregnancy. After all, you are no longer just feeding yourself, but also your baby.
So during pregnancy it is extra important to get started with Brain Food. Eat lots and variety of vegetables, drink lots of water, eat fish. If you do not eat fish, it is important to consider an Omega 3 supplement. You can also always test the ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 in your blood first, as the balance in this tells us a lot about our health. In addition, make sure you get enough vitamins and minerals.
Adequate vitamins and minerals? Easier said than done... Nowadays, the soil is so impoverished that it is normally already impossible to get enough vitamins and minerals. Let alone during pregnancy. During pregnancy, our bodies need a little extra.
For all (future) moms
Especially for all moms and moms to be, we developed Multi Mama. This is a multivitamin tailored to the needs of women before, during and after pregnancy. The supplement includes folic acid, iron, vitamin C, vitamin D and B vitamins.
Folic acid
Our Multi Mama contains 200% of the RDA of folic acid (vitamin B11). This is a water-soluble vitamin that our body cannot make itself, so we need to get this vitamin from our diet. Folic acid contributes to the growth of the unborn child during pregnancy and is recommended to pregnant women partly because of this.
Iron
This supplement also contains iron. Iron plays a role in the process of tissue growth and development. In addition, iron contributes to the development of children's cognitive functions and supports the immune system.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is important for the absorption of iron. In addition, vitamin C has many other actions. Vitamin C supports bones, helps release energy from food, supports the body's defenses, has a positive influence on the functioning of the nervous system and contributes to a clear mind.
Vitamin D
Besides the fact that we always recommend vitamin D in the winter months, this vitamin is also recommended during pregnancy. Vitamin D helps children's immune system, is good for muscles, contributes to the process of cell renewal, increases calcium absorption in bones and plays a role in children's bone formation.
B vitamins
Finally, Multi Mama contains several B vitamins. Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5 and B12 activate natural energy in the body. Multi Mama also contains pyridoxal-5-phosphate, which is a coenzymatic form of vitamin B6 that does not need to be converted and is directly active in the body.
