Eating well is important for everyone, but especially during pregnancy. A nutritious diet can support baby's growth and development, reduce the risk of future health issues, and maintain mom/birthing parent's well-being.
Diet should consist of a wide range of foods, aiming for lower fat, sugar, and salt, while focusing on whole grains, proteins, fruits, vegetables, and calcium sources. The Canada's Food Guide plate method is a visual guide that may help encourage intake of a variety of food groups and create a well-balanced diet.
