Blog Title: Mineral and Pregnancy: What You Need to Know 

  When you are pregnant, it’s important to make sure that you’re getting enough of the necessary minerals and salts in your diet. Not only do these vital nutrients help keep your body functioning properly, but they also help your baby grow and develop. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the importance of mineral salts during pregnancy and why it’s important for new moms-to-be to make sure they’re getting enough. 

What are Minerals ? 
Minerals are a combination of essential minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, and sodium. These minerals help regulate your body's water balance, nerve function, muscle contraction, and other processes that occur naturally in the body. During pregnancy, it is especially important to make sure you get enough mineral because they play an important role in fetal development. 
For example, calcium helps with bone growth while potassium helps with fluid balance. The body needs adequate amounts of these minerals to stay healthy during pregnancy. 
How Much Minerals Do I Need? 
The amount of mineral that you need depends on how many weeks pregnant you are. M and your own personalized lifestyle and emotional well-being. Generally speaking, pregnant women should aim to get between 1-2 grams of mineral per day during the first trimester and 2-3 grams per day during the second trimester. If you don’t think you’re getting enough from your diet alone then it might be beneficial to supplement with a mineral supplement. 
Where Can I Get Minerals?  The best way to get mineral is through food sources such as dairy products like milk cream or yogurt; vegetables like spinach or kale or green bell pepper; grains like quinoa or oats; legumes like chickpeas or lentils; nuts like almonds or walnuts; and seeds like chia seeds or flaxseeds.  Also grass feed  red meats. If these foods aren't accessible for you then there are also supplements ask me which is my favorite that can provide adequate amounts of essential minerals for pregnant women.
