Apples are a crunchy, sweet, and a satisfying snack that have immune boosting and disease preventing properties. They are a highly alkaline fruit that have the ability to quench both an immediate and cellular-level thirst. During pregnancy, calcium is vital for your baby's healthy bone development. Apples provide a rich source of calcium. Eat one or two daily to receive these wonderful benefits.

One of the best stretches during pregnancy is the Cat Cow Pose. Cat-Cow is a gentle flow between two poses that warms the body and brings flexibility to the spine while making sure your baby is in the right position for birth. It stretches the back torso and neck, and softly stimulates and strengthens the abdominal organs. It also open the chest, encouraging the breath to become slow and deep.

The pose should look like a cat stretching its back. Release the crown of your head toward the floor, but don't force your chin to your chest. Inhale, coming back into Cow Pose, and then exhale as you return to Cat Pose. Repeat 5-20 times, and then rest by sitting back on your heels with your torso upright.

Are you eating dates daily? You should because dates contain….

Vitamin K, which maintains proper blood clotting and healthy bones.

Folate, which ensures your baby’s spinal cord matures properly, avoiding neural tube defects.

Magnesium, which supports muscular health and helps alleviate muscle spasms and cramps in pregnancy.

Potassium—one of the best electrolytes. It helps maintain water/salt balance which helps regulate blood pressure.

Fiber that helps you stay full, relieves constipation, and lowers your risk for gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.

Natural sugars (fructose) that easily break down in the body and won’t spike blood sugar levels, but offer high energy.

It’s best to consume at least 6 a day! Try filling with your favorite nut butter and dipping in chocolate for the most decadent dessert that’s guilt free!
