Pregnant women don't like to eat meat

Due to different physical conditions after pregnancy, there will be some special changes in appetite. Some people will become very fond of eating meat after pregnancy, to the point that they are overweight and overnourished, so they can only eat vegetarian food. However, some people do not like to eat meat after pregnancy, and instead prefer to eat light food. Pregnant women can achieve nutritional balance in their diet by not eating meat.

What should pregnant women pay attention to in their diet?

As a special group, pregnant women should not only pay attention to strengthening nutrition and eating nutritious food in moderation, but also pay great attention to dietary structure, dietary cooking, dietary hygiene and food selection. During pregnancy, the baby's organs continue to develop and need adequate nutrition. If you do not pay attention to balanced nutrition during pregnancy, not only will the fetus grow sluggishly and be underdeveloped, but the mother will also be weaker after delivery. Increasing nutrition does not mean eating more, but paying attention to balanced nutrition in food.

1. Avoid long-term high-fat diet

During pregnancy, pregnant women need to increase their fat intake appropriately, but if pregnant women eat a high-fat diet for a long time, it will inevitably increase the risk of the fetus developing reproductive system cancer. Eating high-fat foods for a long time will increase the concentration of bile acid and neutral cholesterol in the large intestine. At the same time, high-fat foods can increase the synthesis of prolactin, promote the occurrence of breast cancer, and are not conducive to the health of mother and baby.

2. Avoid excessive intake of high protein

Medical research shows that insufficient protein supply can easily lead to physical weakness in pregnant women, slow fetal growth, delayed recovery after delivery, and scarce milk secretion. Therefore, pregnant women's daily protein requirement should reach 90-100 grams. However, a long-term high-protein diet during pregnancy will affect the appetite of pregnant women, increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and easily cause abdominal distension, loss of appetite, dizziness, fatigue and other phenomena.

3. Avoid high-sugar diet

Pregnant women with high blood sugar are more likely to give birth to babies who are too heavy, and are also more likely to suffer from congenital malformations and pregnancy toxemia. A large number of medical studies have shown that consuming too much sugar will weaken the body's immunity, reduce the disease resistance of pregnant women, make them susceptible to infection by bacteria and viruses, and is not conducive to eugenics.

4. Long-term high-calcium diet is not suitable

Pregnant women who blindly follow a high-calcium diet, drink large amounts of milk, and take calcium tablets, vitamin D, etc., will do more harm than good to the fetus. If pregnant women take too much calcium supplements, the fetus may suffer from hypercalcemia. After birth, the child's fontanelle will close too early, the jawbone will become wide and protruding, etc., which is not conducive to healthy growth and development. Generally speaking, pregnant women need 800 mg of calcium per day in the early stages of pregnancy, which can be increased to 1,100 mg in the later stages. This does not require special supplements, as long as a reasonable intake from daily foods such as fish, meat, and eggs is enough.

5. Avoid excessive salty food

Modern medical research believes that there is a certain relationship between the amount of salt consumed and the incidence of hypertension. Pregnant women who eat too much salt can easily develop pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome. For pregnancy health care, experts recommend that daily salt intake should be around 6 grams.

6. Avoid taking warm tonic products

During pregnancy, if pregnant women frequently take warm tonic medicines and supplements, such as ginseng, deer antler, deer placenta glue, deer horn glue, longan, lychee, walnut meat, etc., it is bound to lead to yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, qi disorder, qi excess and yin depletion, blood heat, aggravated symptoms such as morning sickness, edema, hypertension, constipation, and even miscarriage or stillbirth.
