Eine Diät, die reich an pflanzlichen Proteinen, Ballaststoffen und gesunden Fettsäuren ist, kommt sowohl Müttern als auch ihren Babys während der Schwangerschaft und des Stillens zugute.

>A Mediterranean-style diet, rich in fibre, vegetable proteins and healthy fats, benefits maternal health during pregnancy and breastfeeding. In addition to improving intestinal function and mucosal immunity, it also prevents fat accumulation and optimizes the composition of the microbiota in the digestive system. In babies, this maternal dietary pattern helps to reduce the incidence and severity of infections.

> The first study, at the preclinical level, compared the effects of two different diets during gestation and lactation on microbiota composition, immunity and lipid metabolism: the Mediterranean-like D1 diet, rich in fibre and vegetable protein, and a Western D2 diet, richer in animal protein and fats. During the nutritional intervention, various biological samples were analysed to see the effects of each diet on the epithelial barrier, lipid metabolism, microbiota composition, metabolites and immunity

>“Furthermore, if this diet is maintained during breastfeeding, it seems to more effectively reverse the physiological changes that occur during pregnancy, supporting immune function and limiting fat accumulation,” adds the expert.

>The second study shows that a maternal diet rich in plant protein, fibre and polyunsaturated fatty acids reduces the severity and frequency of infections in infants through the modulating effect of gut microbiota on the immune system.

title sent me down a brief rabbit hole, i must share: „Fiber“ and „fibre“ are two spellings of the same word, with“fiber“ being the preferred spelling in American English and „fibre“ being the preferred spelling in British English. Both spellings refer to a thread-like strand of material, whether it’s from a plant, an animal, or a manufactured substance.
