Real Food for Pregnancy, Lily Nichols, Paperback, ISBN 978-0-9862950-4-1

Description: Real Food for Pregnancy, Lily Nichols, Paperback, ISBN 978-0-9862950-4-1 New in Plastic With over 930 citations, Real Food for Pregnancy is an evidence-based book that presents as the most comprehensive text on prenatal nutrition to date. Written by registered dietitian, Lily Nichols, Real Food for Pregnancy explores the gap between conventional prenatal nutrition guidelines and what the science says (FYI: there’s often a lag time of about 17 years for new research to make it into clinical practice).In short, this book focuses on optimal prenatal nutrition to support both mother and baby. It provides an in-depth discussion of how maternal nutrient intake affects the development of baby and risk for complications, and subsequently identifies which nutrient-dense foods are necessary to “build a healthy baby.” Real Food for Pregnancy uses the latest evidence to challenge which foods to avoid (including information on fish and mercury, food safety and deli meat, etc.) and discusses numerous misconceptions about prenatal nutrition, such as optimal macronutrient intake vs. current recommendations (including why sufficient protein is so crucial), and why a low-salt diet can be detrimental. It offers insight as to which nutrients can be lacking on a vegetarian or vegan diet and what nutrients/supplements to consider if a vegetarian diet is still chosen to be followed. Readers will also be able to identify what specific lab tests, supplements, and proactive steps they can take to support a healthy pregnancy, such as learning the crucial role of mindfulness and stress management, why moving the body is so important, which prenatal exercises are safe and which are not, and will also be given practical steps to reduce exposure to common toxins.Real Food for Pregnancy provides nutritional management of nausea, food aversions, heartburn, constipation, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes (and discusses pros/cons of all testing methods), and much more regarding pregnancy-associated medical conditions and symptoms. (Note that Lily’s other book, Real Food for Gestational Diabetes, focuses exclusively on the nutritional management of gestational diabetes.)Plus, mothers will learn how to navigate the 4th trimester, to include wisdom from traditional cultures, foods to emphasize and using nutrient dense foods to support breastfeeding, physical recovery, and many more tips to thrive postpartum. Postpartum recovery and nutrient repletion is commonly overlooked, but key to mother and baby’s health.This all-encompassing prenatal nutrition book based on scientific research teaches how to adopt a real-food approach when it comes to eating, ultimately setting up for a healthier pregnancy, a smoother recovery from birth, and an easier transition into motherhood.
