Author: Sandra Kennedy
Planning Unit: Clark County CES
Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
Getting the news that you are expecting will change your life when it comes to proper nutrition. Things you consumed before may not be the choice for you or the baby.
Working with New Beginnings Help Center young mothers attended a seven week Healthy Choices for Every Pregnant Body Series. The expecting mothers were introduced to Meal Planning, Budgeting, Breakfast, and controlling Portion sizes using the series.
At the end of the series eight out of the ten participants returned to express the changes in their diets making healthier food choices, leaner meats, snacking on fruit and veggies and eating more whole grains.
