For pregnant women to have healthy nutrition they must have at least five meals a day; eat every three hours; reduce fluids during meals; avoid lying down after meals; give preference to the consumption of whole grains; assemble a colorful plate; consume dark green vegetables and other foods rich in iron and folic acid, which are essential micronutrients - especially in the first trimester of pregnancy, when a woman's blood volume rises; consume more fish and chickens and give preference to lean meats; drink at least two liters of water daily; and avoid soft drinks and processed foods. Any sickness, which is characteristic of early gestation, can be alleviated by reducing the amount of fat you eat and by eating small portions of carbohydrates throughout the day.

A healthy pregnancy meal has to be rich in whole grains, vegetables, fruits, milk and dairy products, legumes, fish and lean meat such as turkey and chicken, giving preference to low-fat culinary preparations such as boiled and grilled.

What takes place when you inhale and exhale
Hatshy [7]
Breathing In (Inhalation)

When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. The intercostal muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

As your lungs expand, air is sucked in through your nose or mouth. The air travels down your windpipe and into your lungs. After passing through your bronchial tubes, the air finally reaches and enters the alveoli (air sacs).

Through the very thin walls of the alveoli, oxygen from the air passes to the surrounding capillaries (blood vessels). A red blood cell protein called hemoglobin (HEE-muh-glow-bin) helps move oxygen from the air sacs to the blood.

At the same time, carbon dioxide moves from the capillaries into the air sacs. The gas has traveled in the bloodstream from the right side of the heart through the pulmonary artery.

Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs is carried through a network of capillaries to the pulmonary vein. This vein delivers the oxygen-rich blood to the left side of the heart. The left side of the heart pumps the blood to the rest of the body. There, the oxygen in the blood moves from blood vessels into surrounding tissues.

(For more information on blood flow, go to the Health Topics How the Heart Works article.)

Breathing Out (Exhalation)

When you breathe out, or exhale, your diaphragm relaxes and moves upward into the chest cavity. The intercostal muscles between the ribs also relax to reduce the space in the chest cavity.

As the space in the chest cavity gets smaller, air rich in carbon dioxide is forced out of your lungs and windpipe, and then out of your nose or mouth.

Breathing out requires no effort from your body unless you have a lung disease or are doing physical activity. When you're physically active, your abdominal muscles contract and push your diaphragm against your lungs even more than usual. This rapidly pushes air out of your lungs.
