💧 Hydration Is Queen
Water helps keep blood flowing smoothly. Aim for 8–10 glasses daily. Coconut water and light soups? Bonus points! 👑
🧂 Watch the Salt (Don’t Fear It!)
You don’t need to cut salt completely—just avoid salty snacks, processed foods, and seasonings. Choose fresh foods and natural spices instead 🌿.
🥑 Power Up With the Right Nutrients
Protein (beans, eggs, fish, lean meat) supports baby’s growth
Calcium (milk, yogurt, kontomire) helps regulate blood pressure
Potassium & Magnesium (bananas, avocados, legumes) support healthy circulation
🥦 Go Colorful!
Fruits and vegetables reduce inflammation and protect blood vessels. Think greens, oranges, reds, and purples 🌈.
🚫 Limit the “Troublemakers”
Say less to sugary drinks, fried foods, and ultra-processed snacks—they can worsen swelling and BP 😬.
❤️ Final Bite
Nutrition doesn’t replace medical care, but it’s a powerful partner. Eating well helps protect both mother and baby, one bite at a time 🤰✨.
