Is there any proof that a healthy diet improves pregnancy outcomes?
Question by Do your own thinking!: Is there any proof that a healthy diet improves pregnancy outcomes?
Obviously, a ‘healthy diet’ is going to give better odds than a diet _seriously_ deficient in necessary-for-anyone nutrients, but is there any proof that a person eating a lot of clearly healthy stuff has better odds of a healthy pregnancy and baby than somebody eating junk food, while taking a pre-natal vitamin?
Best answer:
Answer by Barbara R
There is tons of proof that a healty diet helps to have a healthy child. A little junk food is ok but prenatal vitamins don’t balance out total junk food. Pregnancy is the foundation of what the childs health will be for years to come especially brain development. If you eat mostly unhealthy the babys system will take what it can and it will affect your health and enjoyment of having a baby.

I think that any studies that actually say that are not on the up and up as it is. How many crack addicted moms do you find having multiple children? I am 100% certain they do not have the nutrients needed to healthfully sustain a pregnancy, yet a seemingly large number of them do just that. But of course you should eat healthfully and take your vitamins when pregnant.
yes the healthier you eat the healthier you baby eats. so stay on healthy food it will be good for you and your baby.
It’s necessary for both you and the baby for a healthy pregnancy and the rest of the baby’s life. If someone can’t make this commitment for nine months then they certainly aren’t ready to make a lifetime commitment to have a child.
