Your proteins should come from healthy sources like lean meat, fish, poultry, eggs, legumes, and nuts. You have to keep in mind that proteins are “builder nutrients” and are crucial for organ development, especially the brain and heart.

Your body is in a state of constant change and that is completely normal. These changes vary from mood swings caused by hormonal imbalances to morning sickness, and the obvious physical changes that occur in your body.
