Posted on Feb 9th 2010 12:00PM by Ashley NegliaFiled Under: Nutrition & Supplements
Maintaining a nutrient-rich diet for yourself is one thing, but being pregnant ups the ante when it comes to eating right. Pregnancy means that your body not only needs extra amounts of certain nutrients, such as iron and calcium, but it also needs omega-3's and protein. Sure, you can get nutritional supplements to give your body an extra edge, but it's best to try to get as many vitamins and minerals through your food as possible. We enlisted That's Fit and AOL Health contributor Jonny Bowden to round up his top 10 list of pregnancy superfoods from his latest book, "The 100 Healthiest Foods for Pregnancy." Not only are they nutritious, but they're delicious, too.
The latest and greatest superfoods are usually all over the news, but really, what does being a superfood mean? That's Fit helps decipher this broadly used term.
