Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy

Want a Healthy Kid? Start Before…

October 5, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Want a healthy kid?  It starts before she’s born.  A recent study, led by Dr. Suzan Carmichael of Stanford University, shows that pregnant women who eat a healthy diet decrease their risk of having a baby with a neural tube defect (the neural tube forms the brain and spinal cord), or a cleft palate.

What’s in a healthy diet? Plenty of

  • fruits
  • vegetables
  • whole grains
  • fish

A healthy diet also is low in fat and sugar.  So protect your child’s brain health, and overall health, before he even gets here!
