Powerhouse Nutrients for Pregnancy and Lactation
Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies is offering a free webinar, Powerhouse Nutrients for Pregnancy and Lactation, featuring Mary Harris who shares the most recent evidence on the role of major nutrients in optimal pregnancy outcomes and infant neurocognitive development. Focusing on folic acid, vitamin D, and omega-3 DHA, Dr. Harris reviews the role of major nutrients in pregnancy in: (1) preventing preterm delivery and (2) optimizing maternal weight gain and infant birth weight. In addition, she discusses the most appropriate level of folic acid intake (from supplements and food) for pregnant women; identifies the benefits of omega-3 DHA intake upon infant visual, social, cognitive, and psychomotor development; and shares the best food sources of omega-3′s, along with safe seafood consumption during pregnancy.
