1. Do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers...
Pregnancy is a time when pregnant mothers are extremely sensitive, even with the smallest impact, it can affect the fetus. In particular, chemicals in pesticides, chemical fertilizers, preservatives... from food are some of the dangers that pregnant mothers need to be especially careful about. Not only can it easily cause poisoning for pregnant mothers, but it also directly affects the development of the fetus, and can even cause dangerous birth defects.
More than nutrition, safety is the highest factor when choosing food for pregnant mothers that needs to be noted, especially when the situation of dirty food, food with chemical residues is rampant on the market, and difficult to control.
Using purebred breeds, grown, cared for and developed naturally according to international standards prescribed by leading organic organizations (US Department of Agriculture USDA, European Union EU...) Organic food is considered the safest choice for consumers, especially sensitive subjects such as pregnant mothers and young children. Accordingly, to be labeled organic, organic food must meet the strictest farming and processing procedures from leading organizations, committing to not using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, growth stimulants, or genetically modified organisms (GMO)... Therefore, when choosing organic food, the first thing pregnant mothers get is safety for themselves and their fetuses.
2. Providing superior nutritional value for a healthy pregnancy
For a healthy mother and a healthy fetus, pregnant mothers need to take in a lot of nutrients. This is the reason why pregnancy nutrition plays an extremely important role.
Growing and developing in natural conditions, without the intervention of chemicals or growth factors, organic crops and livestock possess superior nutritional content compared to conventional crops.
Many studies have shown that organic foods contain higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than conventional foods. If conventional foods have to be treated with chemicals, crops and livestock will absorb more water and their nutritional value will be diluted. Meanwhile, because there is no intervention of pesticides, organic crops, and livestock must produce antibodies to destroy pathogens, thereby requiring crops and livestock to produce more antioxidants, substances that have the effect of resisting viruses, bacteria.
Not to mention, the long growing time causes organic foods to accumulate more nutrients. Therefore, with the same weight of food, if you choose organic foods, you will supplement more nutrients without having to consume too much food, thereby reducing the rate of overweight, obesity, and even gestational diabetes.
3. Organic foods help pregnant mothers eat better.
Many people think that pregnant mothers crave and can eat everything. But the truth is that when pregnant, many pregnant mothers suddenly turn to anorexia for everything, including their previous favorite dishes. This condition is common in the first 3 months and will be worse if accompanied by morning sickness.
There are many ways to deal with anorexia during pregnancy. Accordingly, if you choose organic foods, you can not only be assured of their safety and nutritional value but also improve your anorexia. The reason is that organic foods have a distinctive delicious flavor, different from regular foods, stimulating the taste buds. In particular, the flavor of organic fruits and vegetables will be more delicious when you eat them in salads, boiled, mixed vegetables, etc. With some organic fruits, the sweetness will be different, making you more interested.
