I am about to share 10 super healthy food recipes to help nourish you AND fight morning sickness!

But first, here are 3 ways to eat to lessen the symptoms:

1. Eat small portions, more frequently. Eating small, frequent, meals rich in proteins and healthy fats throughout the day can help stabilize blood sugar and prevent morning sickness by keeping nausea and dizziness at bay.
