Choose fruits and vegetables that are intact and shiny on the surface, use coarsely processed flour for bread and snacks, and choose poultry that is free from pesticides and hormones.

3Foods that can promote fetal brain development include: staple foods: rice, millet, corn, red beans, black beans, etc. Side foods: walnuts, sesame, red dates, black fungus, daylily, kelp, seaweed, peanuts, beef, quail eggs, chicken, pigeon meat, rabbit meat, strawberries, apples, bananas, kiwi, celery, spinach, tomatoes, radishes, carrots, etc.
