Feeding during pregnancy

Pregnancy is a period of remarkable importance from a nutritional point of view, and a correct diet is required both for pregnancy and for the conception product.

According to recent studies, nutritional status during pregnancy affects not only the health and neurological development of the newborn but also its morbidity and mortality in adulthood.

Inappropriate nutrition during fetal growth and development may cause the onset of intrauterine growth retardation and low birth weight. Current nutrition recommendations during pregnancy focus on optimal weight gain throughout pregnancy, through adequate consumption of calories, vitamins and minerals needed to develop fetus and preserve maternal health.
