Preconception & Pregnancy
Nutrition Chart

What to eat during pregnancy & before to feel great and avoid pregnancy & childbirth complications...

The preconception and pregnancy nutrition chart found below provides a comprehensive quick reference for a healthy preconception and pregnancy diet. It includes ideal foods for fertility, the best pregnancy foods and foods pregnant women should avoid.

These guidelines for eating healthy during pregnancy are derived from the research and wisdom of nutrition pioneers like Drs. Weston Price and Tom Brewer.

This preconception and pregnancy diet plan focuses on a natural, real food diet that human beings evolved eating with superior health and child-bearing results. A healthy, well-nourished woman will have the best odds of preventing pregnancy and childbirth complications such as pre-eclampsia.

It consists of five easy to remember components for defining a good, balanced diet during pregnancy and even before:

• Core Foods: These should comprise the bulk of your diet in the amounts and combinations that feel satisfying to you. The core foods include high quality proteins, traditional fats, fruits and vegetables and a pure water source.
• Other Important Foods: Round out and complement the core foods with these important foods and food categories. These include a natural salt source (like Celtic sea salt), whole grains and probiotic foods.
• Supplements & Superfoods: These items were recommended for their nutrient density and nutrient profiles especially important for optimal maternal health and fetal development.
• Qualities to Seek Out: Beyond just what foods and food groups to include, this gives you a set of descriptors and quality standards to guide you when shopping and choosing between different dietary options.
• Foods to Avoid: These are foods that are either downright harmful or simply so nutrient deficient and unnatural to the body that their burden exceeds any small nutritional contribution.
