Here are some ways to take care of your body before pregnancy

Here are some ways to take care of your body before pregnancy. If a couple wants to have a child, they should make preparations in advance. How can I make it easier to get pregnant? How can we make babies born smarter? Scientific pre-pregnancy preparation makes the baby healthier and smarter. Now I would like to introduce to you several methods of conditioning your body before pregnancy.

1. Take folic acid

When planning a pregnancy, women can not only take good care of their physiological functions, but also supplement balanced nutrition to prepare for the birth of a healthy baby. Supplement folic acid. Pregnancy and childbirth can cause nutritional deficiencies in women. Folic acid is a member of the B vitamins and is one of the substances necessary for human cell growth and division, helping the development of the fetal neural tube. Eating less pickled foods can also alleviate nutritional deficiencies.

2. Adjust your work and rest schedule

The lifestyle of modern people has changed, with bedtimes getting later and later, and some even staying up late and reversing their day and night schedules. If we cannot maintain a normal lifestyle, it will affect our physiological functions and make it difficult to conceive. Therefore, women who want to get pregnant should first develop a regular schedule, go to bed before 11 p.m., adjust their physiological functions to the best state, and increase the chance of conception; avoid excessive fatigue and stressful life, so as not to reduce the chance of pregnancy due to emotional tension or excessive stress.

3. Pay attention to iodine supplementation

Once a woman becomes pregnant, she is very likely to suffer from iodine deficiency. Surveys show that 30% of pregnant women suffer from mild iodine deficiency and 5% suffer from severe iodine deficiency, which can lead to miscarriage. Therefore, iodine supplementation should start before pregnancy. Although everyone uses iodized salt when cooking, thinking that it can supplement iodine, many people are accustomed to adding iodized salt when cooking. This practice can easily lead to iodine volatilization, which may seem to supplement iodine but in fact it is iodine deficiency. The correct way to do it is to add iodized salt after the food is cooked so that the iodine will not evaporate. You can also eat more seafood to supplement iodine.

4. Avoid certain foods

Starting six months before pregnancy, women should start to abstain from certain foods and cannot eat whatever they like. Give up eating raw seafood such as sashimi, oysters, etc. (shellfish). The bacteria and harmful microorganisms in these seafood can cause miscarriage or stillbirth, and the time that microorganisms can survive in the human body is often beyond our imagination. At the same time, give up the hot pot and barbecue that women love. Because most cattle and sheep may be infected with Toxoplasma gondii, but people cannot see it with the naked eye. If you just put the tender meat slices into the soup and blanch them briefly before eating hot pot, this brief heating cannot kill the Toxoplasma eggs that are parasitic in the cells of the meat slices. The larvae can pass through the intestinal wall and spread throughout the body with the blood.

5. Avoid using lead-containing cosmetics

Many women have the habit of wearing makeup, especially using primer or foundation every day, or using lead-containing cosmetics such as whitening and anti-freckle cream. The better the whitening effect of cosmetics, the higher the lead content. If a woman's body contains too much lead, it will inevitably cause the baby to suffer from various diseases in the future, such as hyperactivity, low intelligence, anemia, etc. Therefore, starting from before pregnancy, it is best for women to use less lead-containing cosmetics. Just keep your skin basically clean.

6. Enhance awareness of radiation protection

Women who are prepared usually start wearing anti-radiation clothing before pregnancy, but the quality of anti-radiation clothing on the market varies greatly, making it difficult for ordinary consumers to judge, and whether anti-radiation clothing can really prevent radiation remains to be verified. Therefore, even if you wear anti-radiation clothes, you still need to be cautious when using electrical appliances. Try to use them as little as possible. If you need to use them for a long time, take a break every once in a while and keep the indoor air circulating.

7. Avoid harmful environments

If a pregnant woman is in an environment of harmful substances for a long time, the quality of the fertilized egg will be affected, leading to defects in fetal development or even miscarriage. Women who want to get pregnant should try to avoid harmful environments (such as radiation areas and exhaust emission areas); they should also avoid smoking and drinking to avoid affecting the embryo. Some drugs may also have an impact on the fetus. Therefore, if you want to get pregnant while taking medication or shortly after stopping it, you should first seek the advice of an obstetrician and gynecologist to confirm that the drugs you have used recently will not affect the fetus before you become pregnant.

How to detoxify your body before pregnancy?

Bitter foods are the natural enemies of fire. The reason why bitter foods are bitter is because they contain bitter substances such as alkaloids and urea. Chinese medicine research has found that these bitter substances have the effect of relieving heat and eliminating fatigue. The best bitter food is bitter melon. No matter whether it is served cold, stir-fried or in soup, as long as the bitter melon is cooked well and retains its "green color", it can achieve the purpose of "removing heat". In addition to bitter melon, there are other bitter foods that also have good "removing heat" effects, such as almonds, bitter herbs, kuding tea, celery, kale, etc., which can also clear away heat and relieve summer heat.

In addition to eating more bitter foods, there are many seasonal fruits and vegetables, so you should also eat more sweet and refreshing fresh fruits and fresh vegetables. Experts point out that cabbage, cauliflower, watermelon, hawthorn, apple, grapes, etc. are rich in minerals, especially calcium, magnesium and silicon, which have the magical effect of calming the mind and reducing internal heat. Therefore, we should eat more and eat these foods often.

The above are some methods of conditioning your body before pregnancy that I introduced to you. As social standards improve, people's demands on the next generation are getting higher and higher. We must make adequate preparations for our children before they are born so that they can come into the world safely and healthily. I hope that the several methods of pre-pregnancy body conditioning that I introduced can be helpful to everyone.
