Hello Friends,
Just by choosing to eat one plant based meal a day, you will be able to lower and maybe even reverse diabetes, hypertension, and lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases❤️.
-
By choosing to eat plant based at least 60 percent of your diet, you might be able to lower your A1C levels in a few months. Isn’t that amazing?!
-
One action that you take consistently will become a habit in a few weeks. An action for good health or not! Both will become a habit, so please be conscious about it.
-
What small steps are you willing to take to feel great and live in an energetic body?
-
Featuring: Brown rice and chickpeas salad in a bed of mixed greens.

Hello Friends!
Is it safe to eat seafood while pregnant and how much?
-
It is the #1 I get from the participants of the program I am coaching - MOMS4WELLNESS sponsored by
-
You can read the entire blog about this topic on my website at DulceAromas.com, link in bio.
-
And Yes it is safe! The main concern is mercury contamination. So If you follow a few simple rules you can enjoy your seafood while pregnant:
-
1️⃣Eat no more than 12 ounces of seafood a week

2️⃣Eat the best type with the most nutrients - wild, fresh, high in Omega-3 fatty acids

🦐Seafood is a great source of protein, Iron, Sink and Omega-3 (essential fatty acid).

👍Suggested fish based on higher nutrients are:
🦈Sardine, Herring, Salmon, Anchovies, Cod

3️⃣Avoid large/old fish that could contain high levels of mercury. The bigger the fish, the higher mercury content.

🐳Avoid: Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel, Tilefish, Tuna
🐠All fish has some mercury, check which ones are the lowest at www.seafoodwatch.org/

4️⃣DO NOT Eat ANY raw, jerky and smoked seafood
