healthy weight in pregnancy

To
increase weight by vegetarian means |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Every day eat different types of lentils, beans, dals etc. You can see that
within 10 days you can increase like 10 to 20 pounds. However this weight
gain is healthy because its not fatty weight but protein weight. Eat chick
peas, green lentils, peas, brown lentils, kidney beans, navy beans, black
eye peas, cow peas, horse gram, pigeon peas, masoor dal, thur dal, etc. All
these are rich in different proteins and are balancing to the body. The
truth is that vegetarian proteins are more healthy and nutritious and
balancing to the body. It's a wrong concept that only by eating animal
proteins one can increase body weight.
The best is to soak them and partly germinate them and eat. When seeds
germinate, they fats are broken down to sugars and so they are healthy and
nourishing.
One could also use soy milk in milk shakes and use tofu also to meet extra
protein needs.

- Drink every hour or two fresh fruit juices with honey. Drink grape
juice, orange, grape fruit, apple, apricots, strawberry etc. This would
nourish the body with all vitamins and supplements that the body needs.
- This will also help to overcome weakness.
- Soak 5 or 10 almonds overnight. Next day wash with fresh water and
put them in a blender with dates and water and blend well. This is
excellent drink because it supplies calcium, copper and other
nutrients for the mother.
- For snacks keep munching dates, dried figs, prunes, raisins which
would cure weakness. These dry fruits are better than processed
foods and junk foods.

herbal and fruit teas, grain coffees or dandelion coffee and diluted
fruit juices, use more herbs instead of salt.

food dyes, monosodium glutamate, aspartame), environmental

food allergens (wheat in bread, cow's milk, citrus), and trans-fatty

during pregnancy hence toxicity to the growing child can be avoided.
Organic milk is especially good because the cows are given different
kinds of drugs like antibiotics, steroids etc. They all get
concentrated in milk. · Also genetically modified foods are made by
in the genetic material through the help of virus genes and
bacterial genes. These genes may have a chance to go the body of the
