Nourishing the Growing Baby: Importance of Folic Acid and a Balanced Diet for Pregnant Mothers

December 13, 2023

Pregnant mothers should eat more foods rich in folic acid to ensure the normal development of the baby's nervous system, such as cherries, peaches, spinach, and other fresh fruits and vegetables. They can also take folic acid tablets as prescribed by their doctors. In addition to the daily intake of 2200 calories required for normal adults, an additional 400 calories should be added.

Ideal diet: daily intake of 250-500 grams of milk, 2 eggs, 150-200 grams of lean meat, 250-500 grams of vegetables, 2 fruits, and 500 grams of grains. Soy products, fish, liver, and other foods can be added 3 times a week.
