Pregnancy diet: The diet and lifestyle of the mother during pregnancy has a direct impact on the physical and mental development of the child. Yoga guru Baba Ramdev believes that if the mother adopts the right diet and values during pregnancy, then her child can also progress mentally and physically like Veer Abhimanyu. Scientists of New York University have proved that the child in the womb starts recognizing the sounds of the outside world, which helps in his mental development.
Baba Ramdev has always said that right diet and values during pregnancy play an important role in the mental development of the child. He believes that this is the right time when the child gets the first values of life, which shape his future personality and abilities.
During pregnancy, the mother should include some special things in her diet, so that the mental and physical development of the child can happen properly.
Dairy products: Dairy products like milk, curd, cheese are rich in calcium, which is beneficial for the development of bones and teeth.
Green leafy vegetables: Green vegetables like spinach, mustard, broccoli contain iron and folic acid, which helps in preventing neural tube defects in the child.
Dry fruits and walnuts: These are rich in proteins, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, which are beneficial for the brain development of the child.
Oats: Oats are rich in fiber, which helps in digestion and provides relief from stomach problems to the pregnant woman.
Avoid overeating: Focus on nutritious diet instead of excess calories.
Get enough sleep: A pregnant woman needs at least 7-8 hours of sleep every night.
