Some people or medical professionals may tell you that being pregnant is a full time job. There are often several things pregnant moms should consider while pregnant, including which foods they should avoid during their pregnancy.
While some foods may be recommended by fertility specialists to help couples conceive in the first place, your doctor may recommend that you stay away from certain foods while pregnant. Doing a little research and speaking to your doctor may have a tremendous effect in terms of helping you enjoy a healthy pregnancy for you and your child.
Women who are pregnant must be sure to eat well-balanced meals. While this is important at all times, it is essential that women make sure they get enough vitamins and minerals while pregnant. While most foods are safe for pregnant women to eat, there are some that pregnant women should avoid.
Raw or rare seafood, red meat or chicken should be avoided, as these foods may contain bacteria or other harmful germs. Deli meat has been known to contain listeria, which may cause miscarriage in some cases.
Women who want to consume deli meat should make sure that they heat it up to the point that it is steaming before eating it. Listeria may cross the placenta and infect the baby, which can be life threatening. Smoked seafood may also be contaminated with listeria, so avoiding seafood that is smoked is important as well.
Soft cheeses that are imported and unpasteurized milk may also contain listeria, so pregnant women are often advised to stay away from these foods. Pate may also contain listeria, so pate and meat spreads should be avoided while pregnant.
Fish that contain mercury should be avoided as well. Mercury may lead to developmental problems and brain damage in some children. Pregnant women should speak to their doctor to determine which fish may be safe for eating, although many types of fish contain some level of mercury. Raw shellfish and fish exposed to industrial pollutants may also pose risks to pregnant women.
Raw eggs and foods that contain raw eggs may be contaminated with salmonella. Toxoplasmosis may infect the soil where vegetables are grown, so thoroughly washing vegetables is important. Caffeine and alcohol should be avoided while pregnant as well.
While some believe that moderate caffeine intake is fine during pregnancy, others believe that it may lead to miscarriage. Alcohol should always be avoided while pregnant. Speaking to a medical professional is the best way to obtain further information regarding foods that pregnant women should avoid.

Raw food diets are being touted as the way to a healthier lifestyle. This diet is based on eating raw and unprocessed foods, consisting of mainly nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables. The concept that the raw food is healthier than cooked food is based on the theory that cooking food over 116 F destroys the nutritional value of the food.
Before Changing to a Raw Food Diet Learn the Benefits
According raw foodies there are many health benefits associated with changing to a raw food diet. People who have switched to a raw food diet claim to:
- Have more energy
- Be able to efficiently metabolize their food and lose weight
- Digest their food more effectively
- Better cardiovascular health
What Constitutes a Raw Food Diet
Raw foodies eat fresh fruits and vegetables, seeds, sprouts and legumes. The goal is to have a diet where three quarters of the food consumed is not heated above 116 degrees F. A raw food diet consists of simply prepared food that manages to retain all the nutritional value. The food can be prepared by using a dehydrator, a juicer, a blender and food processor.
What to Expect When Switching to a Raw Diet
There are several symptoms associated with switching to a raw food diet. The first is what raw foodies call the detoxification stage. This is the stage where the body gets rid of the “harmful” toxins ingested from eating a diet high in unnatural chemicals like caffeine, cooked protein, salt and sugar. The symptoms include headaches, some nausea, bad breath, chills and feeling fatigued. The symptoms disappear after about a week or two.

Getting Ready for the Switch
- Determine what the motivation for the change is. People change for a variety of reasons such as weight loss, health or experimentation.
- Choose a Raw Food Diet Plan. There are different resources available to find a reliable raw diet plan.
- Prepare the food prep area in the kitchen. Purchase the relevant appliances needed. Most recipes use juicers, dehydrator and blenders.
- Purchase the containers to sprout seeds, grains and beans.
Find a variety of Raw Recipes that suit any palate.
Switching to a raw food diet should be done slowly by building up to a total transition. Start by filling a day’s meals with salads and fresh fruits opting to have only one cooked meal a day, then one cooked meal a week, then once cooked meal a month until such time that when it emotionally and physically possible to go 100 percent raw.
Who Can Go On a Raw Food Diet
Raw food diets are nutrient dense that are conspicuously lacking in the saturated fats but high in fiber and potassium. These nutrients are particular important in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system. However, a raw food diet is also deficient in certain nutrients like iron, protein and calcium and also the diet does not provide sufficient number of calories. Therefore, before making the change it is best to consult with a physician to make sure that there are no foreseeable health related drawbacks. People with osteoporosis, pregnant or nursing women, young children and people with low blood iron (anemia) should not change to a raw food diet.

Many people just learning about raw foods are completely turned off by one little word: detox.
They’ve read all the awesome testimonials from raw foodists, they’ve scoured for all the latest raw food research, and they know all about raw’s physical and mental benefits.
Then they also learn about this crazy detox process that lasts for years and makes your feet fall off and your eyeballs grow whiskers!
The decision to stay cooked and keep their feet and eyeballs whisker-free becomes a pretty easy one.
So what is this “dreaded diet detox” everyone is so consumed with?
What is Detox?
I like to think of detoxification in two different ways:
1. Traditional Detox
2. Withdrawal Detox
Traditional Detoxification, or “detox,” is simply the body’s method of neutralizing or removing toxic substances (those created naturally via our normal bodily functions or those consumed, inhaled, or absorbed by us on a constant basis).
This is done primarily by way of the liver, kidneys, and – if the first two organs are overloaded – the skin. You’ll know your body is working overtime when you achieve that “awe-inspiring” armpit aroma after a sweaty workout!
So in this sense, detox is an on-going process. Your body is constantly detoxifying every single moment of your life.
Withdrawal Detox, on the other hand, refers to the symptoms you experience when you reduce the level of toxins in the body. This could come from adopting a healthier diet, beginning an exercise routine, or removing a known air pollutant.
The reason you feel cruddy when you give up your favorite cooked eatables in favor of simpler, whole ingredients is because you have reduced the toxic level in your body.
Your organs have become used to a certain level of toxicity and once that level is reduced, they finally have a chance to do their job and release the waste that has built up in your fatty tissues as quickly as possible…which means temporary yucky, but necessary side effects for you.
And the more toxic substance you eliminate, the harsher the effects will be.
Oh, what fun!
This is actually no different than the uncomfortable – and often painful – symptoms a drug or alcohol abuser experiences when going “cold turkey.”
Fortunately for us, the length and symptoms of detox from cooked foods are typically much shorter and much less severe.
How Long Should Detox Last?
Well…until you’re dead!
Oh, you meant detox in the withdrawal sense…my bad. 
Contrary to what many mainstream raw foodists will have you believe, withdrawal detox should not last years and years, months and months, or even weeks and weeks.
Withdrawal from cooked foods will typically only last a few weeks *at most*. The norm is closer to just a few days.
In fact, if you *do* experience negative symptoms for weeks and weeks without any improvement, it’s safe to say that either:
a) you are not doing it right (i.e. not enough calories, improperly ripened fruits, improper food combining) OR
b) the diet is NOT working and you should try something new!
And remember, diet isn’t everything!
If you are following a healthy raw food diet absolutely perfectly and yet you are still experiencing negative health effects, your diet is probably not the issue and you should certainly look into other health issues (i.e. exercise, fresh, air, clean water, sunshine, etc.)
You are only as healthy as your weakest link.
What Should I Expect During Detox?
While there are cases of more severe symptoms – usually experienced by people with some form of chronic disease – detox is typically very mild.
Here are the usual suspects:
- Headaches
- Excess Mucus
- Salt-spitting (if rock salt is eliminated from the diet or greatly reduced)
- Weakness
- Constipation
- Loos stools
- Dizziness
- Skin irritation (i.e. rashes, acne)
- Foul mood
- Loss of appetite
These will typically last for a few days to a week. The worse off your health is before making the transition, the more symptoms you wi
