How do kids feel about nutrition? Hear what 10-year-old Olivia has learned from her mom, registered dietitian and chef, Abbie Gellman.
Every mamma-to-be knows that eating well during pregnancy is essential for feeling good and giving your baby a head-start in life. In addition to providing nutrients for you and your baby, a nutritious diet also helps to optimize your gut microbiome.
Our microbiome is a complex ecosystem of bacteria, viruses and microbes that colonize our skin, mouth and gut. With approximately 40 trillion bacteria inside every one of us, our microbiome is believed to have a significant impact on our health and wellbeing. (1) Although our microbiome is continually changing based on age, stress, illness, our environment and the food we eat, we share our microbiome with a growing baby, which plants the seeds for baby’s future microbiome.
Remember though, that probiotic supplements alone won’t undo the damage done by a poor diet, so focus on choosing nutritious foods, limiting sugar and bad fats, gaining appropriate amounts of weight and speak to a prenatal dietitian or your obstetrician if you require additional assistance or are looking to add a daily probiotic supplement to your diet.
