Nutrition advice for pregnant women is confusing, outdated and over-restrictive. Women are too often told about the foods they can't eat, rather than what they can eat. This needs to change, and the solution is here in this book.
Description
Nutrition advice for pregnant women is confusing, outdated and over-restrictive. Women are too often told about the foods they can't eat, rather than what they can eat. This needs to change, and the solution is here in this book.
Nurture the Seed is an almost 300 page book, centred around evidence-based research with over 200 in text references. It is easy to digest and full of practical information to make your pregnancy easier and more enjoyable. It takes you through the nutritional needs of pregnancy and what nutrient-dense foods to focus on in your diet.

This book is not here to judge nor impose, but rather to give you the power to make informed decisions. It builds upon current guidelines with recent research, helping you make nutrient-rich food choices with confidence. Eat like your livelihood depends on it. And nurture that seed the best you can.
