What to Eat During Pregnancy - Eating For Your Second Trimester
Eating for the second trimester can be a milestone for some women.
First trimester difficulties that prevent a desire for food often diminish and an increase in energy is often highly noticeable.
Each trimester represents a very good time to check in with your eating habits, your body, and your nutritional consumption.
Your body has already begun changing and you may very well feel as though you are ready to embrace nutritional scrutiny on a whole new level.
When the second trimester hits you also might find that you're developing food cravings as well as suddenly finding yourself turned off to foods that you once loved.
These changes are temporary.
There is much medical evidence that suggests cravings as well as food turn offs are signals from the body to help you nurture yourself and the baby nutritionally.
This doesn't mean that if you're craving two bags of potato chips you should forget about holding back.
In actuality, sugar and salt cravings are often dehydration or protein needs in disguise.
The body has a natural way of protecting itself and it is important to pay attention to the body's signals.
It's just ultimately important that we all learn to interpret the body's indications for what they really are.
The second trimester is an exciting time.
Many women start to show and no longer look like they are just gaining a few pounds.
Others find that emotionally this is this best part of pregnancy.
It's vital that you continue to care for your body, even when feeling good, with great nutrition.
Packed nutrition is often recommended for women in the second trimester that had ample nausea during the first trimester.
Packed nutrition can involve super foods, supplements and supplemental foods, as well as nutrition bars that are low in sugar.
The foods that are going to be best for the two of you are going to come in the freshest form possible.
Shopping for meals should involve a great amount of energy in the fresh produce department well as the fresh meat and seafood departments.
Avoid foods that have been highly processed, or simply limit things purchased in cans, boxes, or the freezer section.
We all know that it can be hard to keep to a healthy eating regimen when we have other children and family members to tend to, work obligations, and self obligations.
If you need to save some time on meal prep by purchasing frozen meals make sure you get into the habit of extensive label reading before you make such purchases.
You want to ensure that you aren't packing in the sodium and risking future health problems for you and the baby.
