PREGNANCY NUTRITION
During a healthy pregnancy your body is nourished and so is your baby.Proper nutrition before and during the nine months enhances your ability to cultivate a healthy baby.The right mix of nutrients and foods also helps ensure that you feel mentally and physically great throughout your pregnancy.Nutritional
therapy is one on one counseling with Morgan Tel'or, a naturopathic nutritionist, who will help
create personalized healthy and realistic eating habits for the various
stages of your pregnancy and after birth.
The kind of pregnancy, labor and birth experience you have has a profound effect on your baby, your body and your mind.Pregnancy
should be a wonderful time for you, a time when you are supposed to
feel good and really be able to enjoy the 40 weeks carrying your baby.This may be close to what you are experiencing or you may feel as though this sounds as if it is describing another planet.No matter how you are feeling, it is important to know that you are not alone.Every discomfort or wave of anxiety you are experiencing is normal.The most important piece of knowledge for you is that you have the ability to change how you feel.Although you may feel out of control of your emotions, your body, your baby’s health or your future, this is not the case.You have the ability to take control and create a special, exciting and unique experience.
You want the best for your children. It is empowering to know that you have the opportunity to give them a leg up on the competition.Studies
show that what mom eats and nourishes her baby with before and during
pregnancy directly correlates with her baby’s intelligence,
predisposition for health or illness, ability to achieve tasks in life,
general happiness and general health.This means that even before you conceive, you are laying the groundwork for your baby’s potential in life.With
the knowledge that your baby’s brain and neurons form in the first
three weeks of pregnancy you have the chance to greatly impact the
outcome for your future baby.While many nutritional
deficiencies can take up to three months to correct, the sooner you
take action to ensure your smart baby is getting the right fats,
proteins and nutrition the bigger opportunity you have to guarantee the
future success of your baby.
There
are easy ways to avoid common pregnancy and postnatal ailments
including infertility, back pain, nausea, fatigue, mood swings,
anxiety, and depression.Often times these physical symptoms are our bodies trying to communicate that there is a problem.When you have a craving for pickles it is because your body is craving minerals from the salt.Or you may want to eat ice cream all day due to your body’s need for more calcium and protein. Your body is amazing and resilient.
Working
on your nutritional therapy will bring back your body’s natural balance
benefiting the health of your unborn baby as well as encouraging your
own greatest health.
