It is the main energy source of every human being. Due to their customs and beliefs, people eat and avoid certain foods in certain periods. Food taboos and practices in some cultures and religions play a key role in their people's health. Especially in women's health, food practices and food taboos play a major role. "A women's dietary intake before, during pregnancy and through lactation is influenced by her socio-cultural environment”. Cultural beliefs and practices can markedly influence women's health and childbirth experiences. Hence it is important to know the barriers to good maternal nutrition. AIM &OBJECTIVE: To know the knowledge regarding cultural food practices among pregnant women. METHODOLOGY: Study type: Descriptive cross-sectional study Study area and population: Pregnant women residing under Rural Health Training Centre, Prathipadu, Guntur. Sample size: 100 Sampling technique: Simple random sampling. Study instrument: Self-designed semi structured questionnaire. RESULTS: 71% of pregnant women know that eating papaya and pineapple doesn’t harm foetus. 83% are aware that eating conjoined fruits doesn’t cause twin pregnancies or conjoined twins. 45% of pregnant women avoid food or water intake during the time of solar or lunar eclipse. CONCLUSION: Our study shows that good percentage of women are aware of cultural misbeliefs and myths that are related to food intake during pregnancy.
Keywords: KEY WORDS: Food, Food taboos, Cultural beliefs, Pregnancy, Child birth.
