Why fast food is not good for pregnant women?

Nutrient content in fast food is lacking to support the development of the brain and organs of the fetus in the womb. Fast foods also contain flavor enhancers and preservatives that are harmful to the health of the fetus.

Fast food is also very less natural fiber content. Though pregnant women need food that contains lots of fiber to facilitate defecation. This is because pregnant women often experience constipation or difficult to defecate.

We recommend that you cook your own food and make sure to always use natural flavor to your dishes. This is very good, because you will always eat fresh food every day.



What other foods that need to be avoided?

Actually there is no more foods to be avoided. All foods that contain good nutrients may be consumed. Unless you have allergies to certain foods such as fish or eggs. You can find an alternative food to replace it.
