6 simple food swaps before you get pregnant
Even before conceiving, your diet and lifestyle can have an impact on your future child’s health and well-being.
Eating a healthy fertility diet that contains adequate amounts of fruit, vegetables, grains, and protein – along with leading an active lifestyle that excludes alcohol and smoking – is consistent with health recommendations for women who are trying to conceive.
A few simple changes can make a big difference: Swap white bread for wholegrain bread, burgers and fast food for lean meat, sugary sodas for mineral water, cereals with lots of sugar for wholegrain cereals, coffee for caffeine-free alternatives and cookies for fresh fruit.
