Dining principles

  ¡Ü You should be careful not to get fat and to select proper foods. It is important to be concerned about the selection of foods of superior quality rather than the amount of energy since eating carelessly as you feel like to eat brings about difficulties during delivery as unnecessary fat is increased rather than the supply of nutrition for the health of the fetus and mother.
  ¡Ü Vitamins and minerals are essential for the control of physiological functions. Particularly, Vitamin C should be supplied sufficiently in order to relieve stress and to prevent hepatitis.
  ¡Ü It is absolutely prohibited to control meals and body weight during pregnancy.
  ¡Ü You should avoid the restorative but devious eating habits. Taking one or two kinds of foods excessively should be avoided although they are good, and no oriental medicinal plants should be taken as they may damage the fetus.
  ¡Ü And no alcohol should be drunk since alcohol may damage the brain of the fetus and cause problems in its growth irrespective to how much it is taken.
  ¡Ü The foods containing a large amount of caffeine such as coffee, coke, chocolate, etc. should be limited. Unstable emotional state of the fetus may be brought about if an excessive amount of caffeine is taken during pregnancy.
  ¡Ü And smoking is not allowed since nicotine contained in tobacco has an affect on the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus..
