Keep reading about antioxidants in berries and green tea everywhere these days. Im in 2nd trimester and trying to eat better. Just want to know if these are actually helpful or its just hype. anyone?
According to my pregnancy tracker app, antioxidants are super important for placental health. I used to log my daily intake of colorful fruits and veggies to make sure I was getting enough. Definitely try to include them in your daily diet!
I've been eating a lot of oranges and apples lately for antioxidants, but I'm never sure how much is too much. Are u planning to take natural foods or looking into supplements?
I am in my 2nd trimester now and my doctor told me to eat more berries for antioxidants. Honestly, I get so anxious about everything I eat—did anyone else feel super nervous about getting the exact right nutrients?
Yes dear, they are excellent for both you and the baby. Foods rich in antioxidants like pomegranates, berries, and spinach help fight stress in the body. Just eat them fresh and you'll do great!
My nutritionist at the hospital specifically gave me a chart showing which antioxidant-rich foods are best. It's always best to ask your own doctor or hospital dietician for a customized plan rather than taking any supplements on your own.
They are absolutely wonderful, even for your postpartum recovery and breastfeeding journey. I ate lots of almonds and green leafy veggies during my pregnancy, and I still do. It really helps keep your energy levels up naturally.
