Pregnancy Diet: Requirements Of Vitamin A

Posted on January 17, 2009 by admin

Vitamin is crucial for healthy skin, bones, and eyes. It also helps to create the cells that will make up your baby’s internal organs. A proper and balanced intake of Vitamin A ensures the healthy growth of your baby.

In order to fulfill the Vitamin A requirements, i.e. about 800 micrograms during pregnancy, you need to have a list of food items that contain Vitamin A. Here’s a list out of which you can have any four servings to meet the daily requirements of Vitamin A:

  • 3/4 cup vegetable juice
  • 3/4 cup dark yellow vegetables
  • 8 ounces milk
  • 1/2 cup cantaloupe
  • 1 large peach or nectarine
  • 1 cup dark leafy vegetables

Since natural ingredients can fulfill your daily requirements of Vitamin A, so don’t use the supplements, as excessive intake can be harmful for you and your baby both.
