Pre & Post Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a critical time for woman to consume healthy and nutritious foods. There are many reasons for adhering to an appropriate nutrition programme before and during pregnancy. While pregnancy is a normal alternative condition for the female body, it is stressful, and all nutritional needs are increased in order to meet the needs of the pregnancy. Nutrition success is essential for: 

• normal organ development and functioning; 
• normal reproduction, growth and maintenance;
• optimum activity level and working efficiency;
• resistance to infection and disease;
• the ability to repair bodily damage or injury.

Eating nutrient dense foods such as fruit and vegetables is an important requirement for pregnant women and fundamental to the NutriFit programme. Adherence to the NutriFit 5 eating strategies can also offer sufficient protein and energy for supporting growth without the risk of gaining excessive weight and/or body fat stores.
