Good nutrition during pregnancy is important for both the mother and the baby. Eggs are one of the best foods expectant mothers can eat. They offer many nutrients and health benefits, making them a smart choice during pregnancy.
Eggs contain important nutrients that help the baby grow and develop. They are a great source of high-quality protein, which helps build cells and tissues. This protein also supports the baby’s brain and muscle development.Eggs also provide vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium and build strong bones and teeth. Getting enough vitamin D is important for expectant mothers because it can lower the risk of osteoporosis later on.Eggs are a good source of choline, a nutrient that is important for brain development. Choline helps form the baby’s neural tube, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, and can help prevent some birth defects.
Even though eggs have many benefits, many expectant mothers in Guatemala cannot easily get fresh eggs. Economic challenges, limited local food, and high prices make it hard for pregnant women to get the nutrients they and their babies need. Our charity helps by making sure expectant mothers have steady access to fresh eggs. This support leads to healthier pregnancies and better futures for mothers and their children. We help close the nutrition gap by bringing a simple but important source of protein, vitamins, and minerals to the communities that need it most.
