The Nutrition during Pregnancy approach includes the whole period around this special phase of your life, and you can start it any time you wish.
While at the pre-conception period, before getting pregnant, nutrition allows you to overcome problems associated with maternal or paternal infertility, so the chances of conceiving a baby increase.
During pregnancy, the nutritional needs of the mother are special, and all nutrients must be guaranteed for the baby’s good physical and neurological development. Nutrition also plays a key role in situations such as gestational diabetes and weight management throughout the 9 months of pregnancy, as well as preventing postpartum depression.
Throughout the postpartum period, it is already possible to initiate an optimization process of the mother’s body composition, without affecting the quality of breast milk, which is influenced by maternal nutrition. The Pregnancy Nutrition Consultation at this stage will also help you feed yourself to ensure that you provide your baby with all the nutrients needed in this new phase of life.

A good nutritional status is important both during cancer and during treatment, since both the disease and the treatments can affect the patient’s ability to eat and change the way the body tolerates food/nutrients. Proper nutrition for cancer patients helps them to feel better, maintain their strength and energy, control their weight, better tolerate the side effects of treatments, reduce the risk of infections and, consequently, improve their quality of life.

Therefore, in the Oncology Nutrition Consultation, the patient’s nutritional status is assessed and a personalised nutritional plan is structured together with them, according to their nutritional needs, their clinical condition, the treatments carried out, the symptoms associated with the disease and/or treatments and their eating habits and preferences.
