Don’t Let the Holiday Rush Harm Your Prenatal Nutrition
As you try to finish up your shopping with last-minute gifts, it’s easy to neglect healthy eating habits. If you must eat out, try to go for healthier options such as salads, lean proteins and vitamin-rich vegetables, and remember to bring that water bottle along to help you stay hydrated! If you can’t avoid the temptation of a fast-food burger and fries, remember to take your Prenate® vitamins to help fill nutritional gaps so you and your baby are getting the proper nutrition you both need this holiday season.
