this video is on what foods to avoid if  you’re pregnant and i’m going to be creating  

quite a few other videos on pregnancy because it’s  the absolute most important time to get your diet  

extremely healthy and to avoid certain things but  let’s let’s focus what to avoid if you’re pregnant  

number one high mercury fish okay that would  be avoiding shark swordfish king mackerel  

marlin tilefish orange roughy certain types  of tuna which should be albacore yellowfin  

and big eye because all of these have too much  mercury and when you’re pregnant you simply do  

not want a lot of mercury in your body because  it can affect this growing baby and also create  

certain nutrition deficiencies and create problems  in development in this delicate phase all right so  

then the question is what fish is okay well salmon  fish eggs cod flounder haddock tilapia trout and  

make sure that they’re all while caught there’s so  many other beneficial things in fish for pregnant  

women just minus the mercury all right number two  raw fish now if you can find a good source of raw  

fish that you know is not contaminated with any  type of bacteria like salmonella that might be  

a good thing but if you’re you’re your local  sushi restaurant it could be contaminated with  

salmonella and that can definitely affect uh your  babies and so you just want to make sure that the  

if you’re going to do raw fish it has to be high  quality maybe if you bought some raw fish and you  

froze it for 72 hours to kill everything and then  you made your own sushi that might be a good idea  

but typically i would be careful of raw fish now  number three raw sprouts now i’m not talking about  

the raw sprouts that you’re going to make at  home or maybe raw sprouts that you’re going to  

get at the health store i’m talking about  the raw sprouts that you would get at the  

open salad buffet at your local grocery store or  some other restaurant that the quality might not  

be that great why because there’s a higher  risk of getting salmonella when you consume  

raw sprouts that are not of the quality that  you would normally want all right number four  

involves the conventional hot dogs lunch meats  and deli meats that you would get at your local  

grocery store if you’re going to do hot dogs  lunch meat deli meat make sure that it’s organic  

it’s from grass-fed animals and it doesn’t have  any added sugar make sure the quality is there and  

these animals are usually grain fed so that means  they have higher amounts of omega-6 fatty acids  

they’re more inflammatory so just go quality if  you’re going to do hot dogs lunch meat and deli  

meats number five this is the most important thing  i know when women get pregnant they have certain  

cravings and they pretty much consume anything  they want like ice cream refined carbohydrates  

sugar you have to realize that this is going  to set you up for insulin resistance maybe even  

pre-diabetes and even gestational diabetes not to  mention depleting a lot of vitamins and minerals  

and so if you have a growing baby inside you you  want to keep your carbs low simply because that  

baby is getting everything that you’re consuming  and you could potentially set that baby up for a  

pre-diabetic state as they get older now if you’re  new to my channel and you don’t know much about  

keto and intermittent fasting i put a link down  below i definitely want to do the healthy version  

of keto if you’re pregnant but not intermittent  fasting okay all right and number six you want to  

avoid rice in grains why because they’re high in  phytic acid which will also deplete zinc and other  

minerals now i have several other videos  on pregnancy that you should also check out  

i put those links down below check them out hey  before you go if you’re benefiting from any of my
