Expecting Mothers Deserve Great Nutrition

Pregnant women go through a lot — to put it mildly. If you’re expecting, you have to deal with morning sickness, finding the perfect crib, and buying pants that actually fit. On top of that, you also have to worry about nutrition.

You’ve probably heard the common phrase, “She’s eating for two.” It’s obviously true — but what does it really mean? You can’t just eat junk food to your heart’s content. Ice cream and muffins may sound delicious now, and they’ll certainly provide the extra calories you need, but those snacks are just full of empty calories.

Your developing baby needs real nutrition. You need vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support your health, and supporting the health of the newest member of your family is no different.

But sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. This infographic — crafted by USANA’s own Mikelle Williams — shows some of the basic nutrients that will help get your baby off to the right start.
