Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian Is Eating Vegan. New Study Shows This Is a Good Thing.

Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian has been seen eating vegan meals, accompanied by husband Travis Barker, who has been vegan for 17 years. Recent research suggests that a healthy plant-based pregnancy may reduce the risk of hypertensive disorders. A study followed over 11,000 women and found that as the proportion of plant-based foods in diets increased, the risk of pregnancy-related hypertension decreased.

Another study linked fiber intake during pregnancy to infants' brain development, with children of mothers with lower fiber intake showing more neurodevelopmental delays. Despite the importance of consuming fiber during pregnancy, many women do not eat enough. The findings highlight the benefits of a plant-based diet during pregnancy for both maternal and infant health.
