However only healthy mothers can produce healthy children. The foetus, which grows rapidly depends solely on its mother for the nourishment. Nutrition plays an important and special role in the course of pregnancy for the maintenance of sound maternal health. Hence the requirement of nutrients for women during pregnancy increase significantly in order to meet the extra demands for rapid growth and development of foetus. It is unfortunate to know that nutritional status of pregnant women in India is very poor as the diets are grossly deficient in supplying energy and other essential nutrients. | | Keywords : | | |
