51 Meal Recipes for the Pregnant Mother

51 Meal Recipes for the Pregnant Mother: Smart Nutrition and Proper Dieting Solutions for the Expecting Mom By Joe Correa CSN One of the most beautiful experiences in a woman's life is pregnancy. An opportunity to create another life is one of the greatest gifts. However, planning a pregnancy or being pregnant includes preparing for a healthier lifestyle. A proper diet during pregnancy is extremely important for the baby's development and growth. A perfect balance of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients is the key to proper nutrition before, during, and after pregnancy. Based on my personal research, I have created a book that includes a collection of recipes containing all important nutrients taken out of everyday foods that are crucial not only for pregnancy but to overall health. I want these recipes to serve as an idea of what a proper diet for a pregnant woman should look like. Protein, calcium, iron, and folic acid are some of the most important nutrients you should be consuming. My first and main focus is on proteins. They are the most important for organ development, especially heart and brain. Recipes with meat, beans, and eggs, are the best option for a light yet protein packed meal.
