It’s the superfood of pregnancy.
from the University of Sydney gives expectant moms even more of a reason to incorporate it into their daily intake.
Wondering what’s with all the fiber fuss? Fiber keeps everything moving through the large intestine and fights against that all-too-common pregnancy symptom,. Plus, fiber-rich foods are usually nutrient-dense, meaning they fill you up without adding tons of calories. Now, the new study suggests eating fiber during pregnancy may be even more important than originally thought.
The study found that preeclampsia affected the development of an important fetal immune organ, the thymus. Fetuses in women with preeclampsia were found to have a much smaller thymus than children born from healthy pregnancies. The cells the thymus normally generates, called T cells, also remained lower in infants after preeclampsia, even four years after delivery.
The takeaway? The results suggest plant-based fiber broken down in the gut by bacteria may be an effective way to maintain a healthy pregnancy, and to prevent allergies and autoimmune conditions later in life. Researchers are even going one step further to say it could partially explain the rapid increase of allergies and autoimmune conditions we’ve seen in recent years, as Western diets are increasingly dominated by highly processed foods, which are low in fiber.
