Publisher's Synopsis
As veganism grows increasingly popular, more women are choosing to eat this way - including during pregnancy
Vegan diets exclude all animal products and typically emphasize whole foods like vegetables and legumes. This eating pattern is linked to various health benefits, including a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease
Yet, some people worry that a vegan diet may cause nutrient deficiencies that could be especially dangerous for pregnant women or their babies.
Don't worry.
In fact, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has deemed a plant-based diet healthy at any age, including throughout infancy. Although, just as when weaning your baby with any other diet, you'll need to be very strict with what you feed your baby to ensure he/she is in perfect health.
During your Vegan Pregnancy, you need to be careful to not exclude nutrients only found in certain foods, in particular, you should try to incorporate foods with vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin B12, as these nutrients are primarily only found in animals foods. This book's goal is to serve as a guide for you as you are starting your journey in a society where information on vegan pregnancies is not yet so readily available.
