Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is all set to welcome her second child with actor hubby Saif Ali Khan, has always been the town's talk for leading a fashionable and healthy lifestyle during pregnancy. From donning comfy and stylish maternity clothes to revealing her food and fitness regime, she is an inspiration for many expecting and new moms.
In a recent talk with her dietitian and nutritionist, she shared some very essential tips and advice to be healthy, comfortable, and stylish during pregnancy. Here's what Bebo has to say about pregnancy!
#Eat Right
From the very beginning of pregnancy, Kareena maintained a healthy, nutritious, and well-balanced diet full of protein-rich and fatty foods. According to her, if you understand what foods to eat and what foods to avoid during pregnancy, you can get the right amount of nutrition to support your baby's growth and development.
She says that you don't need to adhere to the traditional concept of 'eat for two' in which you consume double everything. Instead, you need to ensure including everything you like in your diet. Eat light, every 2-3 hours, only as much as hungry you are. It's not that you have to leave what you like, but you need to pay attention to the proportion of what you're eating. Also, don't forget to stay hydrated throughout the day!
#Unwind & Rest Well
Get the most of those beautiful nine months of pregnancy by devoting your me-time to do things you love. Read, meditate, listen to your favorite music, get creative, and indulge in whatever makes you feel happy. Spend quality time with your loved ones and get adequate sleep to maintain and improve your mental, emotional, and physical health.
Most women experience sleep problems during pregnancy. While Kapoor Khan drinks warm turmeric milk with nutmeg, a sleep-inducing, and immune-boosting drink, you should also consider wearing soft, stretchy, and breathable maternity pajamas to sleep comfortably at night. Nothing can beat the comfort of maternity pajamas when you are pregnant.
#Yoga is a Must
Kareena has always been a Yoga person who does at least one hour of yoga every day. Yoga has several mental, physical, and skincare benefits. It widens your blood vessels and increases blood flow to the skin, making you look brighter. Even the doctors advise 40 minutes of movement and exercise every day to pregnant women.
According to Kareena, inversion yoga poses help the face a lot. Any yogic breathing and meditation play a vital role in reducing stress and decreasing acne and skin inflammation. When doing yoga, consider wearing maternity yoga and activewear as they provide you with the right amount of comfort, stretch, and support when you perform prenatal yoga.
Besides yoga, you can also perform pregnancy-friendly exercises such as swimming, brisk walking, stationary cycling, and low-impact aerobics. A little stretching on your balcony and a short walk in the evening works wonders for you.
#Stay Fashionable
Whenever Bebo makes a public appearance, she flaunts her baby bump in such a style that it becomes the town's talk. Indeed, she is one of the actresses who has one-upped the maternity fashion in India with her chic and sophisticated pregnancy looks.
From flowy maternity dresses to stretchy maternity leggings, Bebo has tried almost every pregnancy outfit and proved that she is the queen of maternity fashion. Like Kareena, you too can look fashionable during pregnancy with the right selection of comfy and stylish maternity wear. Take inspiration from Kapoor Khan and flaunt your baby bump in style!
#Enjoy Your Pregnancy
And finally, live every moment of your pregnancy, and don't limit yourself, whether fashion, diet, or anything else. Wear the clothes you want, eat food you love, and don't consider every random advice coming your way. In other words, stay away from people who tell you don't do this, don't do that, and don't eat this. Remember, you're alive with another life inside you, so if anything, live every moment to the fullest.
