Advice During Pregnancy

Permalink09/29/07 • 07:06:07 pm • in category: Nutrition  

I came across advice from a New Zealand doctor concerning a healthy diet during pregnancy:

“The “eating for two” myth should be discouraged, but women should be aware that an extra 350 kilocalories a day are needed, eg, two slices of wholemeal bread with butter, a 150g carton of yoghurt and an apple. The woman should also be advised to avoid undercooked meats, patés, soft cheeses, shellfish and raw fish, as well as unpasteurised milk, to omit the known sources of Listeria from the diet. I also generally advise against cold meats and stored prepared salads and suggest that reheated meals are piping hot. Although uncommon, Listeria is difficult to diagnose and can lead to foetal death.”
