What is considered healthy food for kids? Humans need a wide range of nutrients to lead a healthy and active life. Providing these nutrients requires a proper diet or proper food intake for the body’s nutritional needs. A proper and balanced diet combined with regular physical activity is the basis of good health. Malnutrition can lead to weakened immunity, increased susceptibility to illness, impaired physical and mental development, and poor performance.

Sometimes women who have diabetes need special health care if they become pregnant. Because the phase of pregnancy is very different and vivid. It requires a lot of nutrition for you and for your baby as well. Therefore, the demand for blood sugar increases during the period of pregnancy. Hence, if you are thinking of getting pregnant and if you do not have diabetes that’s a plus point but if you have diabetes then you need to take care of certain things.

Diabetes during pregnancy has been on the rise in the United States, paralleling the global obesity pandemic. Not only is the frequency of type 1 and type 2 diabetes rising among women of reproductive age, but there has also been a significant rise in the reported rates of gestational diabetes mellitus. Diabetes increases maternal and fetal risk, which is mostly related to the degree of hyperglycemia but also to chronic consequences and comorbidities of diabetes. Specific dangers of diabetes in pregnancy include, among other things, spontaneous abortion, fetal abnormalities, preeclampsia, fetal death, macrosomia, newborn hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.
