Boost Immunity: Dr. Mendiratta's Winter Pregnancy Diet for Mom & Baby

• Winter nutrition is crucial for pregnant women due to lower immunity, increased fatigue, and reduced sunlight exposure, impacting Vitamin D levels.
• Recommended winter diet includes seasonal fruits/vegetables (Vitamin C, iron), Vitamin D/calcium-rich foods, high-protein options, whole grains, and warm fluids.
• Moderate use of winter herbs like ginger and turmeric can aid digestion and immunity, but strong concoctions should be avoided without medical advice.
• Pregnant women should limit oily/fried foods, sugary treats, unpasteurised dairy, excess caffeine, and cold/reheated foods during winter.
• Hydration is key; aim for 2-2.5 litres of warm fluids daily, such as herbal teas, soups, and broths, to prevent dehydration and infections.

Why It Matters: A mindful winter diet is vital for pregnant women's immunity and baby's healthy development.
