25 Jul 2019 --- Health benefits during pregnancy such as weight gain reduction and a lower risk of gestational diabetes may be the result of following a Mediterranean-style diet. Researchers from Queen Mary University and the University of Warwick have conducted an unprecedented study on the health effects of such a diet on high-risk, multi-ethnic, inner-city pregnant women. Because a quarter of mothers enter pregnancy with pre-existing obesity, chronic hypertension or raised lipid levels, this study may offer a means for pregnant women to prevent antenatal health risks.
