Prenatal Nutrition
The Importance of Prenatal Nutrition
A healthy lifestyle and diet during the prenatal period is incredibly important. Unfortunately, American mothers are often hurt during pregnancy by existing bad diets and nutrition myths. The truth is, the key is to eat a varied diet rich in nutrients – a principle registered dietitian Allison Schulman impresses upon her patients.
According to research published in the peer-reviewed journal American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the majority of women do not meet optimal nutrition and health before or during pregnancy. Research shows that both excess and insufficient weight can harm pregnancy and a baby's health, leading to fertility and conception complications, fetus development issues, and more.
Poor Prenatal Nutrition Can Harm Your Baby For Life
Why New York Comes to Allison
