Healthy Pregnancy

Studies have shown a direct correlation between a healthy baby and the good nutrition you find in Naturewell® Natural Beef. Expectant mothers who eat the recommended 5-7 ounces of meat per day during pregnancy help maintain a healthy weight and weight gain during pregnancy. The nutrients in Naturewell Natural Beef protect both your health and offer your baby the chance for a good start.

• The calories and proteins eaten during pregnancy increase infant birth weight and reduce susceptibility to infection during the first year of life. During pregnancy you will need about ten extra grams of protein every day to support the developement of your growing baby and changes in your body.
• Iron helps to carry oxygen to cells and tissues and aids in brain development. Iron deficiency during pregnancy has been linked to a higher incidence of pre-term births and low birth weight. During pregnancy blood volume increases by about 50%, so iron is even more important to help in building extra pounds of blood.
• Folic acid, or folates, help new cell development and make the neural tubes which become your baby's spinal cord.
• Zinc is an essential nutrient transferred during breast feeding that aids cell production inculding brain development in a growing baby.
• B Vitamins are essential to helping unleash the energy in foods.
