That we should avoid alcohol, raw meat, and caffeine during pregnancy is drilled into us all too often. But what exactly *should* we do for a healthy pregnancy? Our editorial team looked into it for you!
It starts even before pregnancy
Every day, we receive many requests for advice from pregnant women who want the best for their child. We love seeing how much more awareness there is when it comes to health. And yet, we would like to start working on the health of these women even earlier in the process.
We don’t have 100% influence over how our pregnancy progresses, but that doesn't mean we have no influence at all. A baby is better able to develop properly in a healthy body, and that starts before pregnancy. Do you have a wish for a child? Then be aware that you can already do something for your future child now.
Brain Food becomes even more important
From our perspective, we strive for a healthy lifestyle and a brain in balance for every individual. As important as Brain Food already is, it becomes even more important during pregnancy. You are no longer just feeding yourself, but also your child.
During pregnancy, it is therefore extra important to focus on Brain Food. Eat lots of varied vegetables, drink plenty of water, and eat fish. If you do NOT eat fish, it is important to consider an Omega 3 supplement. You can also always first test the ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 in your blood, as the balance here tells us a lot about our health. In addition, make sure you get enough vitamins and minerals.
Enough vitamins and minerals? Easier said than done... Nowadays, the soil is so depleted that it is usually no longer possible to get enough vitamins and minerals. Let alone during a pregnancy. During pregnancy, our body needs a little extra.
For all (future) moms
Especially for all moms and moms-to-be, we developed Multi Mama. This is a multivitamin tailored to the needs of the woman before, during, and after pregnancy. The supplement contains folic acid, iron, vitamin C, vitamin D, and B vitamins, among others.
Folic acid
Our Multi Mama contains 200% of the RDA of folic acid (vitamin B11). This is a water-soluble vitamin that our body cannot produce itself; we must therefore obtain this vitamin from our diet. Folic acid contributes to the growth of the unborn child during pregnancy and is advised to pregnant women partly for this reason.
Iron
This supplement also contains iron. Iron plays a role in the process of tissue growth and development. In addition, iron contributes to the development of children's cognitive functions and supports the immune system.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is important for the absorption of iron. In addition, vitamin C has many other functions. Vitamin C supports the bones, helps release energy from food, supports the body's defenses, has a positive influence on the functioning of the nervous system, and contributes to a clear mind.
Vitamin D
Besides the fact that we always recommend vitamin D in the winter months, this vitamin is also recommended during pregnancy.
B vitamins
Finally, Multi Mama contains various B vitamins. Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, and B12 activate natural energy in the body. Multi Mama also contains pyridoxal-5-phosphate; this is a coenzymatic form of vitamin B6 that does not need to be converted and is immediately active in the body.
