How to match nutrition for pregnant women

Nutrition is very important for the body and affects our physical health. Nutrition for pregnant women is also very important. Sometimes, what we need to do is to take good care of our bodies. Only in this way can it be better for the growth of the baby. Only in this way can we better match the nutrition. This is the best choice.

(1) Supplement protein-rich foods. Animal protein, such as meat, eggs, fish, milk, blood, and various animal organs; plant protein, such as beans, with soy products being the best

(2) Supplement foods containing vitamins, such as vegetables, fruits and melons, which contain a large amount of vitamins needed by the human body.

(3) Pay attention to the combination of coarse and fine grains

(4) Pay attention to the supplementation of iron, calcium, phosphorus and iodine. Pregnant women should eat more animal blood, liver, egg yolks, green leafy vegetables, soybeans, etc. which are high in iron. You should also eat more bone soup, fish, and shrimp. In the later stages of pregnancy, you can take some calcium tablets to supplement calcium. Kelp contains iodine.

(5) During the second and third trimesters, the fetus grows rapidly, so it is especially important to supplement nutrition during this period.

(6) Pregnant women should avoid eating the following foods: longan, ginseng royal jelly, cola-type drinks, hot spices, strong tea, canned food, convenience food, Huang's stewed chicken, etc.

In pregnancy nutrition, there are four minerals that are important for pregnant women.

1. Iron supplement

Iron is one of the main raw materials for the human body to produce red blood cells. Iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy can not only cause pregnant women to experience palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, and fatigue, but can also lead to fetal intrauterine hypoxia, slow growth and development, intellectual development disorders after birth, and susceptibility to nutritional iron deficiency anemia within 6 months after birth. Pregnant women need to prepare sufficient iron reserves for themselves and their fetuses' hematopoiesis in the uterus and after delivery. Therefore, special attention should be paid to iron supplementation during pregnancy.

Iron preparation or supplementation: In early pregnancy, at least 15 to 20 mg of iron should be consumed per day; in late pregnancy, 35 mg of iron should be consumed per day.

Sources of iron: Foods rich in iron include lean meat, pork liver, eggs, kelp, green vegetables (celery, rapeseed, amaranth, etc.), dried apricots, cherries, etc.

2. Calcium supplement

Before pregnancy, if a woman does not take in enough calcium, it will not only affect her personal physical condition, but also directly affect the pregnant woman's body and the development of the fetus after pregnancy. Due to insufficient calcium supplementation before pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body will be deficient in calcium or insufficient calcium intake after pregnancy. During pregnancy, the calcium in the pregnant woman's body will be transferred to the fetus, which can not meet the needs of fetal growth and development, but also affects the calcification of the fetal deciduous teeth and permanent teeth and the development of bones, causing the child to develop rickets early after birth; it can also cause calf cramps, fatigue, and lethargy in pregnant women, and postpartum bone softening and loose teeth or tooth loss.

Calcium intake or amount to be supplemented: Normal women need an average of about 800 mg of calcium per day during the non-pregnant period, and must consume 1000 to 1200 mg of calcium per day during pregnancy.

Sources of calcium: Foods rich in calcium include kelp, soybeans, bean curd, dairy products, black fungus, fish and shrimp, etc. Although these foods are rich in calcium, it is difficult for the human body to absorb calcium. Therefore, couples planning to become pregnant or pregnant women must supplement with a certain amount of calcium supplements, such as calcium carbonate, calcium gluconate, etc.

The above are issues related to nutrition for pregnant women. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. In our daily life, we need to pay attention to our physical health. This is very important. The nutritional combination is also affecting our lives. The changes brought to ourselves and our babies are also unpredictable. Take good care of your body and take good care of your baby.
