Sonam Kapoor and her husband Anand Ahuja are proud parents to a baby boy – Vayu. As they are saying, the period of pregnancy will be one of the crucial crucial phases in a lady’s life. And, we’re sure the scenario wasn’t any different for Sonam either. Nonetheless, now that she is a mother, the actress has taken it upon herself to teach the mothers-to-be on the market with bits and pieces of data from her pregnancy journey. Sonam has been sharing stories on Instagram revealing her experience and lifestyle that she followed all through the time she was carrying her baby. Now, she has shared a series of stories elaborating on “prenatal foods”.

Sonam Kapoor suggested the next prenatal foods: 

1. Vegetables: Sonam Kapoor stated that vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, spinach, cooked greens, tomatoes and red sweet peppers (for vitamin A and potassium) are good in your health.

2. Fruits: You could not skip fruits obviously. Some fruits like cantaloupe, honeydew, mangoes, prunes, bananas, apricots, oranges, and red or pink grapefruit (for potassium) are a must.

3. Dairy: In response to Sonam Kapoor, fat-free or low-fat yoghurt, oat milk, soy milk coconut milk, buttermilk, and paneer (cottage cheese), are also helpful at this stage. The actress revealed that she didn’t go for dairy products as she is lactose intolerant.

4. Grains: Sonam Kapoor mentioned that she consumes a gluten-free weight loss program. So, she found that ready-to-eat cereals/cooked cereals (for iron and folic acid) were easier on her gut.

5. Proteins: Don’t compromise in your protein intake. You possibly can savour beans, dals and peas; nuts and seeds; chicken, lamb, salmon, trout, herring, sardines and pollock etc.

6. Water: Stressing more on this point, Sonam Kapoor stated that you want to keep yourself hydrated with water. Remember, this may be very essential.   

In the subsequent slide, Sonam Kapoor said that it’s imperative to source clean organic produce (avoid exposure to pesticides) and to cook it well. She expressed, “Avoid anything raw while pregnant. This includes raw meat, fish and salads. The worst thing is to get a foul tummy prenatally; it might be dangerous in your baby’s well-being.”

She also suggested avoiding anything unpasteurised (dairy or juice). You need to strictly avoid alcohol and smoking at this stage of your life, she suggested.

The actress wrote, “Avoid caffeine girls; unfortunately chocolate accommodates caffeine. Limit coffee and chocolate intake.”

Many pregnant women are advised to eat food for 2 people. Nonetheless, it is a myth that Sonam Kapoor busted. She wrote, “It is a myth when people say eat for 2! Don’t let anyone let you know otherwise. Please be sensible while eating when you’re carrying a single baby you would like only 350 calories more!”

Elaborating on her fitness routine while pregnant, she told her fans that she did yoga and pilates throughout her pregnancy. She accepts that it’s not dangerous to maneuver. Nonetheless, that is whenever you’ve been energetic before as well.

Alongside, Sonam Kapoor tagged a bunch of health experts who helped her within the journey.
