Cheese to avoid during pregnant

The soft cheese made in the US are usually okay because they are made from pasteurized milk (pasteurization kills the Listeria organism). Imported soft cheeses are usually best to avoid. Here is a short list of soft cheeses to avoid:

  • feta (goat cheese)
  • brie
  • Camembert
  • blue-veined cheeses, like Roquefort

Avoid cheeses such as Camembert, Brie or chevre (a type of goats' cheese), or others that have a similar rind. You should also avoid blue cheeses.These cheeses are made with mould and they can contain listeria, a type of bacteria that could harm your unborn baby.

Breakfast: don't skip it.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for everyone. Many studies have found a relationship between eating breakfast and learning ability, attention span, and general well-being.

Breakfast is important for all ages, not just children. Other studies point to a connection between skipping breakfast with weight gain and memory impairment in young and older adults.
It was also reported in BBC that Eating breakfast is the secret to staying healthy, according to evidence unearthed by doctors in the US. The researchers believe that eating first thing in the morning may help to stabilise blood sugar levels, which regulate appetite and energy. They suggest people who eat breakfast are less likely to be hungry during the rest of the day and are, therefore, less likely to overeat.

So don't skip your breakfast.
