Now would be a good time to re-stock on walnuts and extra virgin olive oil.
Women who maintain a Mediterranean diet during pregnancy are more likely to have a lower risk of gestational diabetes, according to results from a recent. The foods that matter most? The women in the study had a daily portion of tree nuts, half being walnuts, and extra virgin olive oil. This type of diet resulted in a 35 percent lower risk for gestational diabetes for the women, as well as gaining 2.75 pounds less, compared to women who received standard prenatal care.
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London and the University of Warwick analyzed more than 1,200 pregnant women with metabolic risk factors, including obesity and chronic hypertension. In addition to receiving folic acid and vitamin D supplements, the women were randomly assigned to either a Mediterranean-style diet or a control group that received typical UK prenatal dietary advice, care and weight management.
Those who followed the Mediterranean diet consumed a daily portion of nuts and used extra virgin olive oil as their main source of cooking fat. The diet also had an emphasis on fruit, vegetables, non-refined grains and legumes; moderate to high consumption of fish; small to moderate intake of poultry and dairy products; and low intake of red meat and processed meat. Women were also informed to avoid sugary drinks, fast food and food rich in animal-based fat.
Mediterranean-style diets rich in good, unsaturated fats have previously been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular death in adults, the study mentions. Other
