Nutrition is all about eating a balanced and healthy diet so your body gets the nutrients that it needs. Nutrients are substances in foods that our bodies need so they can grow and function. They include fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, proteins, minerals and water. When you're pregnant, nutrition is much vital than ever. You need many nutrients than you did before pregnancy. Making healthy food choices every day will help you give your baby what he or she needs to develop. It will also help that you and your baby gain proper amount of weight.
