Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt is a smart choice for pregnant women. Since it is strained, the protein is concentrated and the majority of the lactose (the carbohydrate found in dairy) is eliminated. Greek yogurt is suitable for pregnant women with gestational diabetes since it does not cause blood sugar to increase.

When pregnant, you require 1,200 mg of calcium each day. The 230 mg of calcium in six ounces of plain Greek yogurt provides 19% of the recommended daily calcium intake. The protein content in Greek yogurt is typically double that of normal yogurt. Probiotics, B vitamins, and phosphate are also abundant in them. Yogurt has a lot of vitamin D and bacteria that are healthy for the digestive system. It is advisable to choose full-fat dairy products to aid with vitamin absorption.
