Listen to your body’s cues from "summary" of Eat This, Not That! When You're Expecting by Jennifer Ashton, MD,David Zinczenko
When it comes to nourishing your body during pregnancy, it’s important to pay attention to the signals it’s sending you. Your body has a way of letting you know what it needs, whether it’s through cravings, aversions, or physical symptoms. These cues can provide valuable insight into what nutrients you may be lacking or what your body is trying to communicate to you. For example, if you find yourself craving a certain type of food, it could be your body’s way of telling you that you need more of a particular nutrient found in that food. Cravings can sometimes be a way for your body to communicate its nutritional needs to you, so it’s important to listen and respond accordingly. On the other hand, if you are experiencing aversions to certain foods, it could be your body’s way of telling you to avoid those foods for a reason. In addition to cravings and aversions, paying attention to physical symptoms can also provide important clues about your body’s needs. For example, if you are feeling fatigued, it could be a sign that you need more rest or that you are not getting enough of a certain nutrient. If you are experiencing digestive issues, it could be your body’s way of telling you that you need to adjust your diet to better support your digestive system.- You can better support your body’s needs during pregnancy. This can help ensure that you are giving your body the nutrients it needs to stay healthy and strong during this important time. So, pay attention to what your body is telling you and make adjustments as needed to support your overall health and well-being during pregnancy.
