Pregnancy is a beautiful time, full of blessings for the woman and the entire family. In this post, we offer you an alkaline diet for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Today, we indicate what you can do to enjoy a harmonious pregnancy in every sense. How to boost your health and immune system before and after childbirth. And, more importantly, how to bring a healthy and strong child into the world. We show you an alkaline diet for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
An alkaline diet during pregnancy
As always, the intention is to build a good foundation. Good foundations will ensure a stable hurricane-proof house. We recommend an alkaline diet for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
At this stage, all vegetables are essential. Especially green leafy vegetables due to their high content of vitamins, alkaline minerals, enzymes, and amino acids. As well as tryptophan, chlorophyll and folic acid. A good intake of folic acid is essential because it helps prevent anecephaly or spina bifida.
Quality proteins from raw vegetables, legumes, seeds, nuts, eggs and fatty fish are also essential.
Try to avoid red meat and, especially, pork. They are highly acidifying and can carry toxic bacteria such as toxoplasmosis.
Drink alkaline water
Helps prevent excessive stomach acidity and nausea during pregnancy. Drinking more increases urination and promotes the purification of toxins. Reduces the formation of kidney stones and urine infections.
It is essential to drink plenty of alkaline water during breastfeeding. The quantity and quality of breast milk also depends on the quantity and quality of the water we drink.
Style during pregnancy
Everything you do during this stage of your life can subtract or add. In other words, we are interested in creating positive and healthy conditions for the future mother and her baby.
As recommendations, most of which are common sense, we would say that it is essential to rest the necessary hours. During sleep (in the dark) we secrete melatonin, one of the most powerful antioxidants that exists, and thanks to it during the day we secrete serotonin, the hormone of happiness and well-being.
Enjoy your pregnancy peacefully
Try to spend as much time in nature breathing clean air and sunbathing, whether in the forest or the sea, this way we charge ourselves with negative ions, we expand our energy field, it gives us peace, serenity and vitamin D.
Meditating or practicing yoga during pregnancy relaxes the body and mind, lowers cortisol and increases serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters of happiness, well-being and pleasure.
Listening to elevated, high-calibration music such as classical music or meditation music harmonizes the body and mind of mother and baby.
Alkaline supplements for pregnancy
It would be advisable to take a prenatal multivitamin that contains folic acid, B12, iron, iodine, vitamin D and calcium. Consult your doctor to tell you which one is best for you according to your needs.
You may also need extra folic acid during this time. According to the WHO, between 600 and 800 micrograms per day are needed.
Did you know that during pregnancy and breastfeeding women tend to become acidic much more than other people? The reason is that during this period the woman’s body needs to consume more nutrients and minerals for the formation of the baby and later to form quality milk. If we do not provide them with food and supplements, the body will steal them from the deposits that are in the bones, teeth and muscles.
pHour salts
I recommend taking Phour Salts, essential alkaline minerals with calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium.
They improve digestion and prevent pyrosis (heartburn) typical of this time of year. They provide instant energy, ATP energy, remineralize, preserve the intestinal bacterial flora and promote its proper transit.
Alkaline 16 Greens
Another highly nutritious supplement that is recommended is the green superfood Alkaline 16 Greens, a compound of 16 vegetables dehydrated at low temperature. The 16 Alkaline Greens contain vitamins, minerals and enzymes with very high bioavailability intended to replenish the nutrients so necessary for the woman and the baby. Furthermore, with just 1 or 2 scoops mixed with water, juice, broth or smoothie you get a very powerful superfood.
Chlorophyll
And finally, an essential is liquid Chlorophyll, it is a precursor to glutathione in the liver and helps generate folic acid. But it is also a blood generator, increasing the quantity and quality of red blood cells. It is anti-anemic, anti-inflammatory, enhances the immune system while helping to gently purify the body.
I hope that all this alkaline care for pregnancy helps you enjoy your pregnancy and breastfeeding more.
