Children whose mothers followed a Mediterranean diet — sans alcohol — during pregnancy had higher cognitive, social and emotional skills at age 2, a new study found.
Mothers who followed the Mediterranean diet while pregnant improved their children’s cognitive, social and emotional development at age 2 compared with children whose mothers did not follow the diet, according to a new randomized clinical trial. “At year 2 the children’s brains are harvesting some of the benefits that they received in their adequate nutrition during their intrauterine life,” said Dr.
One group of women was randomized to follow a Mediterranean diet and given free olive oil and walnuts, and met monthly with trained nutritionists who provided recipes, shopping lists and a weekly meal plan. Another group of high-risk women was assigned to eight weeks of pregnancy yoga, meditation and mindfulness group sessions and home-based interventions, which all focused on the relationship between the mother and the developing baby. A third group of women was given standard prenatal care.
