Book excerpt: Includes 80 Recipes from across India and 6 Superfoods Pregnancy is a transformative stage in a woman’s life. Everything she eats, does or even thinks may have an effect on the development of her baby. The health and wellbeing of a baby—inside the womb as well as outside—is completely dependent on the mother’s diet. Rich and wholesome food for the mother equals a robust and happy baby. This is where the wisdom from grandma’s kitchen comes in to play. Before you crinkle your nose, did you know that moringa, fenugreek, shatavari and garlic can help to improve lactation, while edible gum/gond and Turkey berry are ingredients that can provide strength to the mother post her delivery? Remember, it worked for your mother and your grandmother, so why not give it a try? Most new moms-to-be worry about weight gain during pregnancy and to top it, many feel our desi food has too many calories. Traditional Recipes for Pregnancy & Motherhood is an attempt to build a bridge between the traditional and the modern by getting new mothers acquainted with the richness and wisdom of Indian cuisine. Along with detailed information on 6 superfoods that is vital in any pregnant woman’s diet, this book also provides medicinal values of all the major ingredients—most of them rooted in Ayurveda—used in the recipes inside. In addition, it also doles out tips on the much-discussed topic—how to maintain an ideal weight throughout pregnancy and after! SONAL CHOWDHARY is a Holistic Nutrition Consultant with specialisation in weight management, sports and clinical nutrition. She is a Certified Holistic Cancer Coach from Centre for Advancement in Cancer Education, Richboro, PA, USA. SUPRIYA ARUN is a Nutrition and Wellness Consultant certified in clinical, weight management and sports nutrition. She is also certified in Personal Training from American College of Sports Medicine. “Just what the doctor ordered!” —Dr. Rajeev Agarwal, Director, Care IVF “Simple, easy to read and an interesting book. Well recommended!” —Rekha Sudarshan, Lactation Expert “A book that beautifully merges nutritional science with tradition and I highly recommend it.” —Kinita Kadakia Patel, Award-winning Sports Nutritionist & Author

Book excerpt: 51 Meal Recipes for the Pregnant Mother: Smart Nutrition and Proper Dieting Solutions for the Expecting Mom By Joe Correa CSN One of the most beautiful experiences in a woman's life is pregnancy. An opportunity to create another life is one of the greatest gifts. However, planning a pregnancy or being pregnant includes preparing for a healthier lifestyle. A proper diet during pregnancy is extremely important for the baby's development and growth. A perfect balance of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients is the key to proper nutrition before, during, and after pregnancy. Based on my personal research, I have created a book that includes a collection of recipes containing all important nutrients taken out of everyday foods that are crucial not only for pregnancy but to overall health. I want these recipes to serve as an idea of what a proper diet for a pregnant woman should look like. Protein, calcium, iron, and folic acid are some of the most important nutrients you should be consuming. My first and main focus is on proteins. They are the most important for organ development, especially heart and brain. Recipes with meat, beans, and eggs, are the best option for a light yet protein-packed meal. Calcium is in charge of bone and tooth health, while iron helps in blood production that supplies your baby with oxygen. Milk, Greek yogurt, cheese, and leafy greens are the best-known sources of these minerals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Most Delicious -- and Healthiest -- Pregnancy Fuel! As a trained chef, Tara Mataraza Desmond knows how to cook -- and eat. But when she became pregnant, all bets were off, and seemingly all food was suspect. Deli meat, raw milk cheese, and alcohol were out, but what is in? Lists of "verboten" foods were easy to find, but healthful, doable meals that would appeal to a pregnant woman's finicky appetite and also feed her baby in the best way were not. Relying on prenatal vitamins didn't sound very satisfying for this ambitious cook, who is most at ease in front of the stove. So with registered dietitian Shirley Fan, Desmond put together delicious, healthy recipes with the baby bump in mind. Sections include "What to Eat When You Don't Want to Eat," for that queasy and crucial first trimester, while the six chapters of recipes are accompanied by nutritional facts and bonus info to take you through all nine months (and beyond). An Iced Coffee Thickshake and a slice of Nectarine Pecan Baked Oatmeal can start the morning off right, while the Trail Mix Bars are perfect for a pick-me-up snack. Options like Cranberry Pistachio Salad with Chive Vinaigrette, Pork and Peanut Noodles, and Butternut Ragùagna (which does double-duty as a great freezer-friendly meal for after the baby arrives) fill out lunch and dinner. All of the recipes even benefit the post-pregnancy bod (and feed the rest of the family) by focusing on whole foods that deliver flavor without too much fat, sugar, and empty calories that make baby weight hard to shed. Full Belly is a cookbook designed to foster a healthy, happy pregnancy -- but you'll be coming back to the delicious recipes long after baby arrives!
