3 Products to add to your pregnancy diet
2021 Apr 7th
The World Health Day 2021 theme is “Building a fairer, healthier world” in an unequal world. Providing quality affordable food options that taste like home for pregnant women, as well as those in the postnatal period, is one of the ways we are contributing to the health of our community.
Nutrition plays a big role in maternal & infant health. Ensuring the right nutrition for mothers can help to lower risk factors of being underweight, or anaemic (iron deficient), while also helping brain development for the child.
Here are three of our products perfect for maternal & infant health:
Sweet Potatoes
Keeping a balanced diet is at the top of staying healthy while pregnant, and what better way to introduce fiber & vitamins to your diet than sweet potatoes! Sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamin A carotenoids that are essential for fetal development. Plus, they’re a great source of plant fiber, improving digestive health!
Maganjo Baby Soya with Enkejje:
This super nutritious cereal based porridge is perfect for babies above 6 months. Made in Uganda, Baby Soya also has enkejje, a type of fish common in the central region also known as Sprat. Fish has a lot of high-quality protein, iron, and omega-3-fatty acids which are great for the heart and brain development.
