Plant Based Eating and Pregnancy

Plant-Based Eating and Pregnancy – 4 Steps to a Healthy Bub

A plant-based diet is a diet based on foods derived from plants (e.g. fruit, vegetables, nuts, wholegrains, legumes) and generally contains little, if any animal products. Recent research has highlighted the health benefits of a plant-based diet, including its link with reducing risk of chronic disease, diabetes and some cancers. However there can potentially be some nutritional and health risks with following this eating pattern during pregnancy.
