New "Dietetics and pregnancy" consultation
Before, during and after pregnancy, diet plays an essential role in the health of both woman and baby. Nutritional education is the key to a healthy, balanced diet adapted to each woman's individual needs.
Although caloric requirements increase during pregnancy, particular attention needs to be paid to the quality of food consumed. Each woman must learn to recognize the sensation of hunger and satiety in order to determine adequate portions. What's more, the consumption of certain foods during pregnancy can represent a risk for both the pregnant woman and her baby, hence the importance of consulting health professionals for appropriate advice.
