STAY IN SHAPE!


1) Avoid Junk curbs and sugar
Sugar and junk curbs will increase extra pregnancy weight and fluid gains. Processed carbohydrates like white bread, pasta will be broken down into sugar in your system.
If excess blood sugar is not burned as fuel for muscles the hormone insulin converts excess blood sugar to fat it ends up being stored in your aclipose tissue normally around stomach hips & boobs

2) Eat fat & protein
Women often fear fat and therefore don’t eat enough thinking that if we don’t eat fat then we won’t get fat. Eating healthy mono and saturated fats like olive and avocado oil, quality of butter provide you with means for fat soluble vitamins A,B,E & K to be absorbed into system


3) Water
Drinking enough water ensures you keep hydrated which in turn reduces tiredness and pregnancy nausea.
4) Recovery & sleep
Ensure you have enough rest this is important thro pregnancy.Get to bed in a dark room that will allow minimum sleep of 8hrs.


5) Maintain Muscle
Don’t lose muscle tone during pregnancy. A regular exercise program will maintain muscle tone which in turn increases your metabolism needed to use fat as fuel
6) Exercise wear
If you exercise wear looks and feel great. Treat yourself to a new workout fit.

7) Posture
Stand up straight. Rounded shoulder and a forward head posture can reduce the room baby has to grow and more making your bump appear much bigger.
