You need to eat at least 20 kinds of food every day. Then, some pregnant mothers may not understand how to eat 20 kinds of food. In fact, although 20 kinds of food sounds like a lot, it is very easy to eat.

For example: eat oatmeal, 1 egg, cold celery and other green vegetables in the morning, and add a packet of milk or yogurt.

For the morning snack, have bread, an apple or other fruit, and a cup of yogurt. For lunch, I eat rice, and the side dishes are roasted eggplant, pork ribs and radish soup, or pork slices and loofah soup.

Eat bean flour noodles in the evening, cook a few rapeseed leaves and 2 quail eggs in the noodles, and also have an apple or other fruit.

In addition, oils and various plant oils are naturally used when cooking; seasonings such as ginger, onion, garlic, pepper, aniseed, salt, sugar, etc., at least 4 of them are added to the daily diet.

Also choose another kind of nut, such as peanuts, watermelon seeds, walnuts, etc. In addition, water is also a kind of food. You can drink different types of water, such as boiled water, purified water, and mineral water.

If you count carefully, it is easy to reach 20 types. Of course, the more types of food, the better. It would be even better if the pregnant mother could eat more than 35 types of food every day.

What should you pay attention to to prevent premature birth? Eat more magnesium-containing foods

Studies have found that magnesium can reduce the rate of premature birth and the proportion of overweight newborns. Therefore, pregnant mothers in the late pregnancy can eat more peanuts or peanut butter to supplement magnesium.

If you get tired of it, you can eat other foods rich in magnesium, such as soybeans, sesame seeds, walnuts, corn, apples, etc.

However, it should be noted that our human body excretes 300 mg of magnesium every day, and the magnesium we can ingest from normal food is only 270 mg. In addition, with the influence of phytic acid and oxalic acid in the diet, the amount of magnesium that can be absorbed and utilized by the body may be even less.

Therefore, the editor recommends that pregnant mothers should not supplement magnesium from food alone. It is best to follow the doctor's advice and supplement it through some preparations.

What needs special attention in the late pregnancy is that the intake of water and salt in the diet should be controlled. Pregnant women with obvious lower limb edema should avoid eating foods with high salt content. In addition, you cannot take any medicine without authorization, including health supplements. When you go to the doctor for treatment, you should immediately tell the doctor when you are pregnant so that the doctor will pay attention to it during diagnosis and treatment.
