If a pregnant woman is healthy and has eaten properly since childhood, then she will not experience the usual painful symptoms both in the first and last months of pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, a common symptom is “discomfort in the morning”, most often accompanied by nausea. Nausea under any conditions is a sign that the work of the liver is impaired. During pregnancy, the most important organs, including the liver, increase their functional activity. A healthy pregnant woman goes through the natural process of carrying a baby without nausea, vomiting, or pain.
In the last stages of pregnancy, some women suffer from high blood pressure. High blood pressure can only occur in sick women whose organs are overloaded with excessive amounts of protein waste that the kidneys are not able to completely remove.
In all cases, it is perfectly safe to recommend to a pregnant woman a diet rich in fresh fruits and fruit juices, and in particular acidic fruits such as grapefruits, pineapples, peaches, and, from vegetables, tomatoes. All of them perfectly stimulate digestion, which is very important, since maternal blood must nourish the growing fetus. The food of a pregnant woman should contain a sufficient amount of macro- and microelements so that the bones and other organs do not lack minerals.
The food of a pregnant woman should contain a lot of calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins. Salads made from fresh herbs and other vegetables ripening above the ground can provide the body of a pregnant woman and the fetus growing in her with these substances. For breakfast and dinner, eat a large bowl of salad along with starchy foods like bread or baked potatoes, or protein foods like cheese or nuts.
If there is no inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose and throat, milk or buttermilk can be consumed. Milk contains a lot of protein, minerals, vitamins and milk sugar. True, it contains little iron, but it is enough in greens and vegetables.
Animal meat is a putrefactive product, it is a dead organism. As food, meat is a burden on the human body even under normal conditions.
Pregnancy is an added burden on the body as the growing fetus releases its waste products into the mother’s blood. Therefore, the diet of pregnant women should contain a minimum amount of waste.
A lean woman needs more food than a fat woman. An obese woman should be on a special low-calorie diet.
Different types of low-calorie foods have different nutritional values. For example, a slice of diabetic bread, a serving of salad, and half a grapefruit each contain about 30 calories. But lettuce and grapefruit have more nutritional value than a slice of diabetic bread.
An obese pregnant woman should eat only raw vegetables for breakfast. At any time between meals, she can also eat raw fruit.
For lunch, it is recommended to eat a salad of tomato, celery greens and green salad, seasoned with the juice of half a lemon. In addition to the salad, a woman can eat a small amount of protein food, such as fresh cottage cheese, buckwheat, cheese.
If she has nausea or vomiting, it is better to exclude cheese.
Most infants in the United States are artificially fed. Artificial nutrition is chosen completely wrong. Breastfeeding is known to be optimal. On the first day after birth, the baby should be given rest. During this time, only tepid water is recommended every 4 hours. After the first day, the child has nausea because the child is given a mixture containing sugar: for example, 3 teaspoons of sugar per 8 ounces of milk and 8 ounces of water. After a week, the amount of sugar begins to be increased until the child is 2 months old: from that moment on, the child is given 6 teaspoons of sugar daily.
Conventionally, table sugar is added to the mixture, although some doctors recommend dextromaltose instead of cane sugar. Dextromaltose is easier to digest than cane sugar. However, both products are undesirable because they lead to acidification of the blood.
The acidic waste products in the blood rob alkaline minerals from the blood and tissues and from the milk itself. Pallor and anemic children may occur due to a decrease in alkali reserves in the tissues. In addition, children catch cold easily, have a reduced resistance, as their body is overloaded with waste. The mucous membranes of the respiratory tract become inflamed precisely because of the consumption of sugar.
Another serious mistake when feeding children is to include vegetables in the diet too early. When a child is 3 or 4 months old, he does not need the so-called “baby food” at all.
The main product for feeding a baby is properly prepared formula or mother’s milk. The child will feel great and gain weight if he receives milk as the main food.
The second most important type of food is food rich in vitamins. An ideal source of vitamins is freshly made orange juice. After the first month, the child can be given orange juice several times a day (first diluted with water) for 1-6 months.
A good food for a baby is freshly prepared vegetable juices mixed in a blender with orange juice. Freshly made vegetable juice is far superior in quality to canned food. Well-advertised canned baby foods certainly make the mother’s job easier, but their nutritional value is low.
Many children suffer from skin irritation. A rash on the skin is caused by the fermentation of roughage in the intestines. Often the urine of children has high acidity. It is also the result of improper feeding.
Mother’s milk is the ideal food for a newborn. If the mother’s diet includes fresh fruits, raw salads. 1 quart (one quart is equal to 0,95 liters) of milk, her milk contains all the necessary vitamins.
The mother can eat vegetable soups and steamed green or yellow vegetables in any quantity, but without overeating.
In the diet of a nursing mother, you can enter wheat, a small amount of nuts, occasionally bread and potatoes, but in very moderate quantities.
With artificial nutrition, a newborn can be given a mixture consisting of boiled water and pasteurized milk in different proportions. Under no circumstances should sugar be added.
The child should be fed every 2-3 hours, but without interrupting his sleep. A normal child sleeps through the night. At night, the child can only be given tepid water. When the child gains weight, the amount of food taken can be increased from 4 to 8 ounces while maintaining the ratio of water to milk. If the baby gets worse after such feeding, then either there is too much milk in the mixture, or too much of it is given. In this case, you should mix at the rate of one third of milk to two thirds of water or reduce its amount.
Sometimes a newborn baby tolerates cream better than fresh cow’s milk. First, the mixture should consist of 1/4 cream 3/4 boiled water. If it works well for 1-4 weeks, you can make a mixture of 2/3 water and 1/3 cream. The amount of cream can only be increased if the weight gain is less than 1 lb (0,4 kg) per month.
If a child is given orange juice 3 or 4 times a day, at a ratio of 2 oz (56,6 g) of juice to 1 oz (28 g) of boiled water, he gets more sugar (from orange juice), and this sugar is better. the one found in conventional milk formula. The sugar contained in orange juice provides the blood with vitamins and alkalis.
You can start feeding your baby with orange juice from the fourth or even the third week of his life.
Cod liver oil (fish oil) is sometimes included in a child’s diet. However fish oil is harmful to the heart and other important organs.
During the first six months of the baby, it is best to breastfeed with artificial milk and orange juice. When the child is 6 months old, he can be given pureed freshly boiled carrots and green peas. Home-cooked food passed through a mixer is much healthier for a child than canned food.
Here is one of the recipes: steam for 10 minutes two fresh vegetables in 1 glass of water, add 1 glass of cold milk or water, cool it, then grind it in a mixer until mashed.
Feed your child well. The remaining mixture can be stored in a sterile closed container until the next meal or even until the next day. After 6 months, it is enough to feed the child 2 times a day with fresh, steamed vegetables. Never feed your baby potatoes or other starchy vegetables until he is 9 months old.
Starting from 6 months, the child can be given raw vegetable juices prepared in a mixer. Rinse, peel and finely chop the celery greens, add chopped lettuce and grated carrots, place in a blender and add 1 cup of milk or orange juice. Pass the resulting mass through a fine sieve and feed the baby from a bottle or glass.
Ordinary food causes many illnesses in weak children. Premature feeding of starchy foods, for example, lowers the child’s immunity.
A child is born with a natural immunity to disease, which is expected to last approximately 6 months. When feeding starchy foods, as well as canned meat and eggs, the child may become overweight, and, in addition, his body will be oversaturated with putrefactive waste!
The child’s mucous membranes become inflamed, a runny nose appears, the ears hurt, the eyes become inflamed, there is a general painful condition, a foul-smelling stool. These are dangerous symptoms, signs of a serious illness. Children can die in this condition.
When the baby reaches 9 months, he can be given a baked potato for lunch. You can also add a banana to breakfast or dinner.
Bottle feed your baby first. Milk is the most important food for him. The order of nutrition is wrong, in which feeding is started with any other food and only after that they give the child a bottle of milk.
Sugar-sweetened desserts are unsuitable for a child. Canned tomato juices, which are recommended by some pediatricians for babies under one year old, are worse than fresh vegetable juices. When a child is fed sugars, starches, meats and eggs, he soon develops a rash around the genitals and elsewhere, which is a sign of the accumulation of waste products in the body.
Eggs should not be given until the age of two. Eggs that are complex in composition decompose, rot and produce foul-smelling disease-causing acids and gases. The iron found in fresh green vegetables is easier to digest and absorb than the iron found in eggs.
Even adults find it difficult to digest eggs and it is contraindicated to eat them.
It is a crime to feed a baby with eggs. Regular and daily feeding of a child with eggs can cause diseases.
Lack of appetite in a young child is often a sign that he does not need any food other than fruit juice 2 or 3 times a day.
Feeding eggs and meat often interrupts the appetite of the child, he suffers from autointoxication caused by protein waste absorbed by the blood through the digestive organs, stomach and intestines.
Many children lose their health if they are fed conventional food mixtures. This is why very few parents have healthy children, even though the child’s body has natural defenses against disease.
The main need of a child after the first birthday is 1 quart of milk per day.
Milk should always be given as the first meal before other types of food. After milk, you can give mashed fresh fruits that help the digestion of milk.
It is not recommended to give bread with milk: many illnesses in infants and children arise precisely because they are given such incompatible mixtures.
Making the right food combinations is a science. The best combination for children is fruit and milk.
Sugar mixtures, such as packaged desserts, should not be given to children. Canned foods: vegetables, meat, and others should be replaced with fresh home-cooked foods, steamed and passed through a mixer.
Cooked or canned fruits as food for children are optional and undesirable because they provide unhealthy end products of their digestion and metabolism (acidic waste).
A sample menu for a child is as follows
For breakfast: add sliced apples (without core) and a slice of fresh raw pineapple to orange juice. Pass through the mixer until a homogeneous mass is formed and give to the child after milk.
For lunch: raw salad – chopped celery greens (1 cup), lettuce and grated raw carrots mixed with orange juice and an equal amount of water. Pass this mixture through a mixer and then through a fine sieve. After milk, this puree can be fed to the baby from a glass or directly from the bottle.
For dinner a baby needs 8 to 20 ounces of milk, followed by fruit puree, just like for breakfast.
The above diet is recommended for a child up to 6 months. If the child is doing well on this diet and is gaining 1 pound (0,4 kg) every month, then he is digesting normally.
And yet, remember that eggs cause constipation and other disorders in the digestive system. Eliminate eggs and meat from your child’s diet!!
A quart of milk contains enough biologically valuable proteins and other important nutrients to promote the growth and health of a child.
Milk should not be mixed with other protein products.
During the first 6 months of the second year, the child’s diet should consist primarily of 1 quart of milk per day, divided into 3 or 4 meals. If three meals a day are enough for a child, he can be given 10 (0,28 L) to 12 ounces (0,37 L) of milk for breakfast and dinner. These two meals consist of two types of food – milk and fruits.
For lunch, the child is given a mixture of boiled vegetables and juices from raw vegetables in addition to milk.
As for the food needed for chewing, half a slice of stale wholemeal bread, smeared with butter between meals, can be dispensed with.
Don’t feed your baby commercial foods because they are usually made with sugar. Unsweetened starchy foods help maintain teeth, improve blood and tissues.
In the second 6 months of the second year, baked potatoes can be given.
Once the child is able to chew on the greens, they can be given vegetable salad instead of vegetable juices.
Raw vegetables provide the body with essential minerals and vitamins, strengthen bones and teeth.
A child under 5 years old needs a lot of energy for the growth and development of organs. Therefore, the food consumed should consist mainly of minerals and vitamins, and not starches.
Whatever a child needs from starchy food, he will get from a slice of bread with butter or a baked potato.
By the fifth year, the child becomes noticeably more active and wants sweets. Truth, he will demand sweets, if only you yourself instill in him a taste for them. Great prudence is required on the part of the mother in shaping the child’s proper eating habits.
Keep sweets away from your child. It is better to give the child sweets in the form of grated raw carrots and beets.
Feed him bananas (1-2 per day) during meals or between meals.
Raisins and dates, as well as cake and cookies, should not be given to a child at preschool age. This food discourages the desire to eat more important food for him – raw vegetables and fruits.
Young children who are fed as described above do not have dental caries, nasopharyngeal diseases, runny noses and purulent discharges.
A school-age child is usually very busy. For breakfast, he should be given as much food as he can eat with appetite. Milk, like raw fruit, is the most important food for him. If he wants bread with butter, he is given a starchy breakfast combined with raw fruit. At the end of the meal for dessert, the child must receive raw fruit. And still, as a first course, a child at this age should receive milk.
Some children are not hungry in the morning. Mothers should not encourage them to eat by threat or petting. Have them drink a glass of orange juice and take a couple of apples with them on the road.
Second breakfast at school may consist of a pint (one pint equals 0,47 liters) of milk or two to four slices of bread with butter (or both) in addition to raw fruit. It is not necessary to give the child both milk and bread right away.
School breakfasts usually do not make children healthier. Random mixtures, sugar-sweetened desserts, and other erratic combinations of food contribute to the formation of acidic waste products in the blood in large quantities. This weakens the body of children, creates susceptibility to infectious diseases.
For dinner, a child can eat a salad of raw vegetables in addition to a starchy or protein meal.
If the child likes nuts, give him 10-12 almonds, or peanuts, or hazelnuts. Nuts are ideally digested with a raw salad. In addition to the salad, you can give a slice of protein bread with butter. Nuts can be given with salad 2 times a week, cheese – 2 times a week.
Another type of food is freshly steamed vegetables. It can be any two or three vegetables that ripen above ground. This type of non-starchy food goes well with protein foods. Sometimes a baked potato can be served for dinner, along with steamed carrots, beets, green beans, or peas.
For dessert, any raw fruit in any form is always good. Desserts in packages, as already mentioned, are not as healthy as fresh raw fruits.
Between meals, the child can drink a glass of milk and eat a piece of raw fruit.
