Hey Pueblo, did you know,
Fact 1: Did you know? From the moment of conception, 46 chromosomes with 30,000 genes combine to determine all your physical characteristics: sex, facial features, body type, color of hair, eyes, and skin.
Fact 2: Are you getting enough? Adequate amounts of folic acid before and during pregnancy can help prevent major birth defects of the baby’s brain and spine. Women need 400 micrograms of folic acid every day.
Fact 3: Minutes on the Move! Healthy pregnant women should get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, such as brisk walking, every week. It is best to spread this activity throughout the week. Remember that 10 minutes at a time is just fine! Physical activity DOES NOT increase your chances of low-birth weight, early delivery, or early pregnancy loss. Physical activity helps keep your heart and lungs healthy, improves your mood and increases your energy level during pregnancy.
Fact 4: It’s never too late! If you begin a physical activity regiment during your pregnancy, start slowly and increase your amount gradually over time. While pregnant, you should avoid doing any activity that involves lying on your back or that puts you at risk of falling or abdominal injury. Check with your doctor before starting any exercise routine.
Fact 5: Healthy Eating=Healthy Pregnancy. Maintain a healthy diet that includes fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meat and fat free or low fat (1%) milk. Try to limit foods high in fat, added sugars or salt.
Your muscles repair every second of every hour. Your body needs the nutrients to repair muscle tissue at all hours of the day. When you wait long periods of time to eat, your body doesn't have the nutrients to properly repair. By eating more often, your body is always in the position of having what it needs to abdominal exercise.
