Nutrition During Pregnancy DVD
In Nutrition During Pregnancy, Kara Korhonen, MS, RD, LN, guides viewers through the nutritional challenges experienced by pregnant women. Topics discussed include:
Eating healthy.
The basics of a nutritious eating plan are discussed in depth. Food groups and the corresponding recommended servings from each are explained.
Weight gain.
How much weight should you really gain? Kara helps you determine your recommended weight gain and explains where all of this necessary weight is going (and it's not just to your boobs!).
Whether you are starting from a "normal" weight, or are below or above your ideal BMI, Kara describes realistic, healthy, and scientifically sound approaches to adding pounds during pregnancy.
Trimester nutrition.
Each stage of pregnancy has crucial nutrient needs. Kara discusses these requirements and includes cooking demonstrations that emphasize these nutrients. And unlike those popular cooking shows that assume you have four hours a day to devote to cooking, Kara presents delicious recipes that don't require you to hire a chef or a nanny.
Foods to limit (or avoid).
Is it really necessary to cut back from your two daily pots of coffee? If so, is one measly pot safe? In this segment, Kara discusses food and drinks you may need to avoid (or moderate) for the next nine months to ensure optimal health for you and your baby.
Pregnancy considerations.
Important pregnancy topics like heartburn, constipation, and morning sickness are addressed. Realistic tips are provided to help you manage some of the physical annoyances that are encountered during most pregnancies.
Physical Activity.
The best types of exercise for your expanding waistline are discussed.
And so much more!
