Week 36: The Mysterious Secrets of the Deep Seas 🌊

Hello, mommy! We’re now in week 36, and I feel like I’m exploring the mysteries of the deep seas in here! But for me to stay energetic and healthy, I need some nutritional guidance! Since I’m in a deep-sea explorer mood, let’s keep our theme ocean-inspired! 🐟🐚

The Power of Omega-3! 🐟

I need omega-3 fatty acids for brain development—and they also support your heart health!

✅ Eat fatty fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel at least twice a week.
✅ If you don’t eat fish, you can get omega-3 from walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds.

Mineral-Rich Sea Vegetables 🌿

Sea vegetables are packed with minerals and support thyroid health.

✅ Try adding seaweed, nori, or kelp to your diet.
✅ You can make sushi or use seaweed as a garnish in salads.

Maintaining the Right Salt Balance 🧂

To keep fluid balance in check, let’s watch our salt intake!

✅ Avoid overly salty foods.
✅ Flavor your meals with herbs and spices instead of adding too much salt.
