Immune-Boosting Delicious Recipes for Pregnancy During Covid-19

/0 Comments/in , /by

Today more than ever, building strong immune systems is important for everyone, particularly expecting mothers. We are all cooking and eating at home more than ever before due to Covid-19. Pregnant women are a greater risk for complications related to Covid-19, so dining at home is even more important for them. Eating for Pregnancy: Your Essential Month-by-Month Nutrition Guide and Cookbook, an award-winning nutrition-cookbook by Catherine Jones and perinatal nutritionist, Rose Ann Hudson, RD, LD, offers moms-to-be 150 nutrient-dense, immune-boosting, delicious recipes to help.

EATING FOR PREGNANCY: Your Essential Month-by-Month Nutrition Guide and Cookbook is the ultimate no-nonsense nutrition guide and cookbook for moms-to-be.

Immune-boosting nutrients, that have numerous other benefits as well, include zinc (meats and legumes), selenium (chia seeds and seafood), iron (red meats and iron-fortified breakfast cereals), folate (lentils and asparagus), vitamins A (sweet potatoes), B6 (poultry and oats), C (citrus fruits and broccoli), D (egg yolks and fortified milk, plus sun exposure), and E (sunflower seeds and almonds). These essential nutrients help the immune system in different ways by working as an antioxidant to protect healthy cells, supporting growth and activity of immune cells, and producing antibodies.

Eating for Pregnancy incorporates these powerful nutrients to make menu planning and cooking a snap for all eating preferences and gestational diabetes. Delicious, easy-to-make recipes that are designed to boost your immune system include: Good Morning Sunshine Smoothie Bowl, Mango-Chia Smoothie, No-Bake Nutty Energy Balls, Perfect Homemade Granola, Mango Tango Lime Spritzer, Spinach and Cheese Omelet for One, Awesome Chicken Burgers, Make it Again Meatloaf, Sweet Potato Rounds, Salmon with Artichoke-Olive Tapenade, Superhealthy Lentil Salad, Favorite Broccoli Slaw, Dreamy Chia Pudding with Berries,  and Baby-Blue-Berry Buckle.

Patience has never been a bigger virtue than now. While we all wait for healthier days to come, maintaining a healthy lifestyle includes safe exercises, cooking at home, and taking the proper precautions is the best path forward.

/0 Comments/in , /by


The Postnatal Cookbook: Simple and Nutritious Recipes to Nourish Your Body and Spirit During the Fourth Trimester by Jaren Soloff, a Registered Dietitian & International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (who also specializes in anti-diet, intuitive eating, and eating disorders), was released on December 29, 2020, published by Ulysses Press.

Replenish and rejuvenate your postpartum body with these 75 easy, healing, and protein-rich recipes designed with new moms in mind.

After giving birth, most mothers are well-versed in feeding patterns and schedules for their little ones, yet little attention is given to their own nutrition. The Postnatal Cookbook offers 75 simple, easy-to-prepare recipes for truly nourishing the postnatal body—what is ultimately best for both mother and baby!

Written by a registered dietitian and lactation consultant, these delicious recipes are specially formulated with the nutritional needs of a new mom’s fourth trimester. Inside you’ll find:

  • Quick and easy protein-packed meals like Spinach Egg Bites, Mediterranean Salmon Wraps, and One-Pan Lemon Chicken
  • Satisfying, nutrient-rich snacks such as No-Bake Bliss Balls and Flax Seed Granola
  • The nutritional information every postpartum mom needs to eat healthily
  • And much more!

Based on the latest research in nutrition science, this cookbook prioritizes the foundation of whole food, healthy eating for recovering mothers. Nutrients of vital importance to postpartum such as iron, protein, vitamin D, and omega three-rich foods are highlighted in each recipe.

The Postnatal Cookbook is available for sale at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

About the Author:

“From my own journey, I know how difficult it can be to navigate health & wellness during postpartum, especially in the presence of diet culture. I have a breadth of experience not just in supporting women from all walks of life in my practice, but I also have lived experience as a mother who experienced a rocky relationship with food + body image. These experiences showed up full force during postpartum and my concerns around food, body and weight flared up. Through my own journey I’ve found that there is a large gap of care for women navigating postpartum when healing from a chaotic relationship with food + body image concerns. The experiences I have had personally and professionally have compelled me to share my learned wisdom and now come full circle in empowering others. I am dedicated to providing moms the space they need to do their own healing,” says Jaren Soloff.

Jaren Soloff is a Registered Dietitian and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) who serves as an expert in women’s health. While continuing to practice in the field of eating disorder treatment, Jaren gained additional experience as an IBCLC to fuse her love of nutrition and women’s health.

Now working solely in private practice, Jaren combines her expertise as a skilled nutrition therapist and lactation consultant to support individuals looking to heal their relationship with food and body. Her practice, FULL CRCL provides evidenced based practices to support women at all stages of the reproductive cycle, from preconception to postpartum. Informed by her own journey and the hundreds of women she has counseled, Jaren’s experience comes full circle to support women in navigating pregnancy, birth and postpartum from a simple and intuitive framework.

Jaren has appeared on the Mom & Mind Podcast, Women’s Health Happy Hour, and the Birth Kweens Podcast.

/in , /by

‘Eating for Pregnancy: Your Essential Month-by-Month Nutrition Guide and Cookbook’ has won the Gold/1st Place award in the 2020 Feathered Quill Book Awards Program for the Informational category.

Written by specialists in perinatal nutrition, OB/GYN, and high-risk pregnancies, EATING FOR PREGNANCY, published by Da Capo Lifelong Books (an imprint of Hachette Book Group) is the ultimate nutrition guide and cookbook for moms-to-be.

Feathered Quill Book Awards Judges’ comment on the book saying:

– Content: score of 50 out of 50! I can’t imagine how you would improve this

– Editorial: A LOT of work went into this. All lists, indexes, tables, etc. are perfect

– This book took a lot of work, from the recipes to the information in every section.  I don’t know about the wealth of “diet” books on the market for pregnant women, but this one is broad in scope and I can see how it would help one and all.

Every pregnant woman understands that what she eats and drinks affects the baby growing within her, but many don’t have the time or energy to ensure they’re always eating right. EATING FOR PREGNANCY walks readers through pregnancy month-by-month to cover developmental highlights, body changes, and nutritional needs of the mother and baby. Each chapter shares delicious, healthful recipes that put a special emphasis on the nutrients that mother and baby need that month, during preconception, the nine months of pregnancy, and the postpartum period. Each of the 150 recipes highlights optimal nutrients for mom and her growing baby, and provides handy nutritional breakdowns and complete meal ideas.

This new edition of EATING FOR PREGNANCY has been completely revised and updated with:

•  25 brand-new recipes and updated classics, with more quick and easy dishes, more vegan and vegetarian recipes and variations, and more gluten-free and dairy-free options

•   The most up-to-date, research-based information on daily intakes, supplements, nutrient sources, environmental concerns, common annoyances, exercise, and high-risk pregnancies

•   A unique, revolutionary month-by-month approach that makes meal planning, shopping, cooking, and eating a tasty and nutritious experience for mom and the whole family.

Additionally, EATING FOR PREGNANCY is the only pregnancy nutrition-cookbook with substantive advice and recipes for women with diabetes. Gestational diabetes is one of the most common complications of pregnancy with rates increasing every year. It is the only high-risk condition that requires a special meal plan and lifestyle. EATING FOR PREGNANCY’s low-carb meal plans, recipe variations, and weekly menus cater to moms who develop diabetes during pregnancy and those who enter pregnancy with preexisting diabetes. This new edition also covers the fourth trimester offering moms supportive advice with postpartum depression, breastfeeding and weight loss.

“a completely revised and updated book that includes everything you will need (and more) to know before, during, and after the birth of your child.
