Experts say a vegan or vegetarian diet is healthful and nutritionally adequate for pregnant women – choosing a vegan or vegetarian diet may even have upsides!

When it comes to food, scientists disagree on many things. But almost all agree on one thing: eating lots of colorful greens and vegetables is great for your health. On a daily basis, we read about the positive connection between health and a so called plant-based diet, and we try our best to share all the good news here on the blog. One of the most common questions we get from readers is whether it’s possible to have a healthy vegan or vegetarian pregnancy? The answer is: Yes, absolutely! As long as you make sure you get enough iron and vitamin B12.

A couple of weeks ago, there was an article in the New York Times about how scientists now agree that a plant-based diet is healthful and nutritionally adequate for pregnant women. Not eating meat during pregnancy may even have upsides!

Before we log out and get back into vacation mode (aka preparing for a freezing cold dip in the ocean), we would like to leave a message:

Whether you’re a vegan, vegetarian or eat whatever comes to hand – don’t forget how incredibly important it is to eat lots of colorful greens and vegetables every day!
