Got Sesame?
One thing I find hard about pregnancy nutrition is getting enough calcium. My doctor listed a bunch of things I should be having every day - a couple glasses of milk, a bowl of yoghurt, cheese. I knew I couldn’t stomach it for long, so I asked The LifeCo dietician, Emine Şahin for some alternatives.
The surprising fact is that sesame seeds have a high amount of calcium - almost 1000mg per 100g (about half a cup)! Other great sources are leafy greens, seaweeds and molasses.
