Reports released earlier this year by the U. S. Public Health Service in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state women between the ages of 15 and 45 should plan their diets around the possibility of pregnancy. Studies note a range of vitamins and minerals have been found to aid in the prevention of birth defects and developmental issues. In an effort to promote awareness of the importance of proper nutrient intake during pregnancy, spokesperson Stuart Williams of Best Prenatal Vitamins has launched the website's latest informational resources.Said Williams, "Malnutrition in various forms is a common issue during pregnancy, but this often begins several weeks before women even realize they're expecting. Starting a vitamin regimen before conception is crucial to the health of mothers and babies. The best prenatal vitamins cater to the full range of dietary needs before, during and after pregnancy, but they're not meant to be a standalone source of nutrition. We developed our website to help women better understand which elements need to be included in their diet plans and which should be avoided."
Previously-mentioned reports base their inclusion of all women of child-bearing age on the nations' rising number of unexpected pregnancies; in fact, an estimated half of pregnancies in the United States are unplanned. Though previous studies pointed primarily to the teenage population in regard to unintentional conception, current accounts paint a more widespread picture of the situation. Authorities in the health care field also emphasize women's varying age-related nutritional needs as a factor when choosing daily multi-vitamins during pregnancy or otherwise.
A number of the nutrients necessary for healthy pregnancies can be found in common foods, such as fruits, vegetables, beans and grains. Dairy foods are also listed among the items able to provide vitamins and minerals needed for expectant mothers as well as developing fetuses. Certain nutritional elements designed to promote proper digestion have likewise received recognition from prenatal experts. With DHA and EPA being increasingly touted for their roles in visual and cognitive prenatal development, studies on the best fish oil sources are also being conducted by health officials as some have been deemed unsafe during pregnancy.
Concluded Williams, "While maintaining a healthy diet is important at all times, the notorious nausea of pregnancy often makes that a bit difficult. Prenatal vitamins help pave the way for a healthy pregnancy and bridge the nutritional gap when necessary. Foods like cheese, yogurt and even dill pickles are among the best probiotics sources for helping with digestion issues and the absorption of minerals. We encourage anyone planning to have a family in the future, or those who simply realize it's a possibility, to visit our website to learn more about maintaining a healthy, pregnancy-friendly diet."
