A new study found that following the Mediterranean diet in pregnancy can reduces risk of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Women who follow a Mediterranean diet during pregnancy may lower their risk of developing dangerously high blood pressure and other bad outcomes, a new study suggests.
Bello was especially pleased with the preeclampsia finding because the condition can be one of the more dangerous pregnancy outcomes. The kidneys, liver and blood clotting can also be involved, she says. The new study is “really exciting,” Judy Simon, a registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in reproductive health at the University of Washington in Seattle, tells TODAY.com. “It’s giving us some great evidence on the impact of what a woman is eating at the time of preconception and how this can have a positive impact on the pregnancy and preventing adverse outcomes."
Another interesting feature of the study “is that the impact of a healthy diet was shown across all races and backgrounds, and it didn’t matter if the woman was obese or not,” says Marc C. O’Meara, registered dietitian and senior nutritionist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
