Protecting your little one starts with what you eat ! During pregnancy, steer clear of some foods to ensure a healthy journey for you and your baby.
Raw, undercooked foods can pose serious risks to the mother and the developing baby. When food is not cooked properly, it many contain bacteria or parasites that cause food borne infections like listeriosis, toxoplasmosis and salmonellosis 🦠
These infections have been linked to various outcomes including miscarriages, premature birth, stillbirth, etc
⭐️ The most common foods which can pose a risk are raw or undercooked eggs, unpasteurised dairy, undercooked meat, raw, pre made salads.
Though these foods are extremely healthy and needed during pregnancy, make sure the eggs, meat and fish are cooked thoroughly.
⭐️ Opt for pasteurised dairy products only. Pick fresh produce, wash and peel them well while preparing your salads. Or simple have them as a stir fry.
