When you’re pregnant, the food you consume also feeds your baby. For this reason, it’s important to stick to a healthy and balanced diet. Here are some of the best fruit to eat while pregnant to ensure that your baby gets the nutrition they need.
Oranges
Aside from its nutritional value, oranges provide hydration. In terms of nutrition, however, oranges are high in folate, and folic acid, which helps to prevent brain and spinal cord defects. They’re also rich in Vitamin C, which not only helps your body absorb iron but is also an antioxidant that prevents cell damage.
Avocados
While avocados contain more folate than other fruits, they also happen to be one of the most wholesome fruits available, with more nutrients than almost any other. Vitamins B, C, and K as well as fibre, choline, potassium, and magnesium are all contained in avocados. The magnesium and potassium in avocados can help to reduce the likelihood of leg cramps, making your pregnancy a little easier.
Bananas
Another great source of potassium, bananas also contain a solid amount of vitamin B6, vitamin C, and fiber. What’s particularly great about fiber-rich bananas is that they relieve constipation, thereby reducing the amount of challenges that you may have to face during your pregnancy.
