Nutrition in Pregnancy: Going Green

Long gone is the adage "eating for two" and it has been replaced by a more mindful approach to nutrition in pregnancy. Women are also no longer encouraged to be sedentary during their pregnancy. Instead, they are encouraged to stay active. ACOG recommends 30 minutes a day of exercise for pregnant women who have first consulted with their obstetrical provider.  When it comes to nutrition, pregnant women are going green. They are turning to greens in their diet to satiate them and to give them that extra boost of folic acid, B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, and iron.  This is why power salads, power green juices and power walks becoming essential parts of the pregnancy diet.
