<\/a>BEANS, beans, they are good for your heart … the more you eat, the healthier you and your unborn children are likely to be.<\/div>\n

At least that is the suggestion of a study (<\/span>Article<\/a>) that has found women who consume a Mediterranean diet before they become pregnant are less likely to develop obstetric complications. <\/span><\/p>\n

University of Queensland researchers interviewed women enrolled in the longitudinal study on women’s health about their diet.<\/div>\n
They were categorised into four dietary groups: meat, high fat, high sugar diet and Mediterranean diet.<\/div>\n
These groups were characterised by vegetables, legumes, nuts, tofu, rice, pasta, rye bread, red wine and fish; the fruit and low-fat dairy diet and cooked vegetable pattern with high consumption of cooked potato, cauliflower, carrots, pumpkin and peas.<\/div>\n
The study followed up with more than 3500 women who then became pregnant and delivered at least one live birth between 2003 and 2012.<\/div>\n
Those on a Mediterranean diet had a 42 per cent lower risk of developing a pregnancy complication.<\/div>\n
