Q  Nutrition Update LATEST TIPS, TRENDS & FINDINGS IN HEALTHY EATING
ARE YOU
ADDICTED?
O
ne common misconception is
that alcoholics need to hit rock
bottom before they can truly get better.
Absolutely not! People don’t realize that
addiction is a chronic medical illness.
It’s a disease of the brain, and the earlier
you get help, the better.
There’s no one-size-fits-
all treatment plan for people
with alcohol dependence. That said,
if you’re someone who has had
difficulty quitting in the past, you
probably shouldn’t keep drinking,
even if minimally. The more extended
the usage, the more it can mess with
your brain chemistry.
BABY
FOOD!
S
ome of the definite must-haves
for a healthy pregnancy are
proteins. They are essential for the
healthy growth of the foetus and to
maintain the mother’s health. Proteins
form the building blocks for blood,
bones, organs, muscles and tissues.
Inadequate protein intake can lead to
severe malnourishment.
Your daily diet should have an
additional 0.5 gms of proteins in the
first trimester, 6.9 gms in the second
and 22.7 gms in the third trimester. So
you need about 78 gms of proteins in
the third trimester.
