Default Melon seeds-good snacks for pregnant women

Women have to give up some snacks they like in pregnancy while some snacks are not on the list. Melon seeds, such as sunflower seeds, watermelon seeds and pumpkin seeds, are good snacks for pregnant women. They can make a good supplement of various nutrients. Sunflower seeds are rich in vitamin E; watermelon seeds contain much linoleum acid which can promote the fetal brain development; pumpkin seeds help make all-round nutrition supplements, such as protein, fat, carbohydrate, calcium, iron, vitamin B1and B2. If a pregnant woman eat some good snacks after meals, she will have a balanced nutrition absorption which is also beneficial to her baby in womb.
