Food and nutrition for pregnant women. What kinds of foods should pregnant women eat to obtain all the necessary nutrients?
People from poor countries don’t eat foods that are thought to be healthy or nutritious. Even though they do not consume “balanced” or “nutritious” foods, their women still give birth to fully developed and healthy infants. There is no doubt that pregnant women need many nutrients, such as calcium, magnesium, protein, fat, sodium, glucose, vitamins, and minerals, for their fetuses to grow and develop. But how do pregnant women in poor countries get these important nutrients if they can’t even afford to eat well?
Where did these women obtain their nourishment? How did their baby get the vitamins, minerals, calcium, protein, and fats he or she needed to grow? The simple truth is that all the nutrients a person requires can be found in the food they eat every day. Even if a pregnant woman consumes only simple foods, her body can produce all the nutrients necessary for her and her unborn child’s growth and health. Even though it seems strange and difficult to believe, this is the reality of how the human digestive system functions.
Even today, people in most of Asia and developing nations do not choose their food based on its nutritional value or consume specific foods to meet their nutritional requirements. They stay healthy and strong by eating simple foods that most people in the modern world would consider unwholesome or unhealthy. Simply consume whatever you enjoy or have on hand. Your body is responsible for producing the required nutrients from it.
