I I I jps for better health For a healthy mother and child An adeauate diet is perhaps more important during pregnancy than at any other time in a woman's life. Because an expectant mother actually actual-ly shares everything she consumes enough healthful foods to supply both herself and her child with the nutrients each needs. For this reason, most women are advised to eat an addi-200 addi-200 to 300 calories a dav durine pregnancy and to gain at least 25 pouuuo. According to the recommended dietary allowances established by the ' National Academy of Sciences, pregnant preg-nant women require considerably more protein than non-pregnant women. Women who normally consume con-sume about 45 grams of protein a day are advised to increase their daily intake in-take by 30 grams during pregnancy. This would be equal to the amount of protein in four cups of milk or yogurt, or four ounces of natural cheese, tuna, .or chicken. A 25 to 50 percent increase in most vitamins and minerals is also recom mended. To meet these nutritional re- quirements, pregnant women should eat a varied diet, including the daily consumption of foods from each of four basic food groups: high-protein foods, such as meat, poultry, fish and legumes; dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt; grain products, pro-ducts, such as breads, cereals and rice; and fruits and vegetables. . Because a woman's blood volume doubles during pregnancy, extra iron is essential to produce healthy red blood cells. Since sufficient quantities ' of iron to meet this need are not obtained obtain-ed in an average diet, doctors usually prescribe iron supplements during pregnancy. Without supplementation, the woman risks becoming anemic, which increases susceptibility to infection infec-tion and illness. Like drugs, vitamin and mineral supplements should not be taken without consulting your doctor. '. Similarly, pregnant women should not Local Legion Auxiliary members represent district Vickie Southam and Evelyn Slaugh of Jensen Unit 124 Auxiliary attended the American Legion Auxiliary's sixty-fourth annual convention in Salt Lake City. Mrs. Southam and Mrs. Slaugh represented District 9 along with other auxiliary members from Roosevelt, Duchesne and Fruitland at the convention, which was attended by women from every state as well as the Philippines, Panama Canal and Puerto Puer-to Rico. Of the nearly one million women of the American Legion Auxiliary, 110,640 are junior members (under 18 years of age). The juniors held their first national meeting in Salt Lake City Ci-ty this year, electing their first junior officers. They also reported on their local programs. Convention reports revealed local units volunteered over one million hours and spent $4,711,510 on children and youth programs ; over 2,500 young people received scholarships totaling $708,603; members gave 495,089 hours of community service spending $763,439; and volunteers gave 3,166,713 hours of service to our nation's veterans and spent over four million dollars to take care of their needs this year. A highlight of the convention was the address of President Reagan on Sept. 4 to the joint session of the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary. Thirteen hundred guests were entertained enter-tained at the annual states dinner by comedian Bob Hope.

All drugs consumed by an expectant mother are carried to the unborn child to some degree. Because many of them are known to be potentially harmful to an unborn child, and others may be risky, self-medicating should be completely avoided. This means that any drug, prescription prescrip-tion or nonprescription, should be taken only under a physician's supervision super-vision as soon as the woman suspects pregnancy is likely. The chances of a drug's damaging the developing child are the greatest in the first ten weeks. Alcohol has been linked to physical deformities, brain damage and growth problems among babies born to women who drink as little as two alcoholic beverages a day. For this reason, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism advises pregnant women to avoid alcohol completely. The excessive consumption of large quantities of caffeine, which is present in coffee, tea, cola, and chocolate, may be associated with increased risk to the unborn child. It is wise to limit caffeine caf-feine use during the entire pregnancy. Although studies of the effects of smoking during pregnancy have focused focus-ed on only a few of the 4,000 substances contained in cigarette smoke, smoking has been clearly linked to low birth weight and to increased rate of infant death. Smoking also increases the risk of miscarriage and other complications. complica-tions. Women who smoke should seriously consider stopping or, at least, cutting down during pregnancy. Diet, exercise, cessation of smoking and use of alcohol during pregnancy play a vital role in the health of the un- born child child and in the mental and physical well-being of the mother. See your doctor as early in the pregnancy as possible and follow his or her advise throughout the nine months. You and your baby will be glad you did.
