Healthy pregnancy campaign
Newspaper Health Times initiated a campaign on April 19 in Beijing to educate pregnant women on how to get enough nutrition. About 150 people from all walks of life, mostly mothers, medical experts and journalists - including Meng Xianli, editor-in-chief with Health Times, and executives with Doctor D-Cal, a calcium supplements company, attended the opening ceremony. According to Li Guanghui, a nutritionist and metabolism specialist with Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, pregnant Chinese women used to suffer from lack of nutrition, but nowadays, the situation has reversed to another extreme, with more women absorbing excessive nutrients and then having difficulty in natural delivery.
