Abstract

The life cycle begins with the pregnancy that no primary person has detailed scientific knowledge of its nature; this is why civilized people, only in the recent century, have acquired information from genetics, and there are still a lot of things they must learn (Farokhnia, 2002, P.71). In this regard, the researcher intends to review traditional beliefs related to dietary habits of women during pregnancy and delivery in Arak, the center of Central Province, and what is attended to by the researcher in the study is what kinds of food people of this region recommend the pregnant women; what kinds of food are harmful to the pregnant women; how much is the impact of religious thoughts on nutrition, health and hygiene during pregnancy; and also what prayers people of this region recommend the pregnant women during pregnancy. In the following, customs held during pregnancy and delivery as the manifestation of thoughts of people of the region are taken into account; and in the end, what the researcher attends to is the resulting effect and changes in people’s thinking in the field of the pregnant women’s nutrition created due to cultural, social and economic changes as well as understanding of some applied aspects of traditional health and nutrition study and its beliefs in order to promote the level of community health which is effective in some part of community health culture and the more richness of people’s culture.
