Product Description

Review
"This is the first book of its kind to present sound dietary guidelines on all aspects of pregnancy."
-Miriam Erick, M.S., R.D., author of "No More Morning Sickness"


Product Description
NUTRITION FOR A HEALTHY PREGNANCY is a reliable reference for women who want more than just a "how to eat" guide. Fully revised in a smaller trim size, this edition features new menus and recipes as well as the latest findings on how a mother's nutrition during pregnancy determines her child's risk of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and other diseases later in life. You'll find clear explanations of: * What foods to avoid and why * The role of vitamins and minerals and how to choose the right supplements * How what you eat affects your labour and delivery * Dietary guidelines for pregnant women over thirty-five, as well as for pregnant teens * How diet prevents common problems from morning sickness and food cravings to heartburn and muscle cramps * Which foods and nutrients speed recovery after the baby is born.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real World Nutritional Advice, Including Supplements, 4 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy: The Complete Guide to Eating Before, During, and After Your Pregnancy ("a Henry Holt Reference Book) (Paperback)
Elizabeth Somer's Pregnancy Nutrition Book is a breath of common sense that is much needed. Most nutritionists spend all their time trying to persuade everyone that all that is needed in pregnancy is the proverbial good balanced diet. Most nutritionists badmouth supplements for fear that people will just swallow pills and eat junk. As a reaction to the overuse of supplements most academics decry all supplements. (The official RDA of folate was lowered from 0.4 mg in 1970 to 0.2 mg in 1980 just because it is difficult to get more than 0.2 mg in the diet, so they lowered it so not to have to admit the need for supplements, even though the early reports from England about neural tube defect sparing were already published.) Somers never fell for that nonsense and has always encouraged sensible supplements in addition to a "good" diet. She always recognized the need for folate and iron supplements and was the first nutritionist to recognize the need for fluoride supplements in pregnancy. She anticipated, by four years, the present recommendation (Aug,'97 prelim; March'99 final) of the Food and Nutrition Board that pregnant women get 3 mg of fluoride a day. As the average diet in the US contains 0.5-2.5 mg, supplementation is necessary to meet this new Dietary Reference for Adequate Intake. Elizabeth Somer deserves great credit for her foresight and for the best pregnancy nutrition book on the market.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good info on prenatal fluoride, 11 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy: The Complete Guide to Eating Before, During, and After Your Pregnancy ("a Henry Holt Reference Book) (Paperback)
The nutrient most couples know the least about and need the most is fluoride. Many children still get cavities, yet no one seems to act like fluoride deficiency is still common. Somer's book tells you about fluoride, and cites studies by the best experts (Drs. Glenn). Good luck with your pregnancy. Ray
