What foods should you eat more?

[1] Whole wheat bread products: including oatmeal porridge, whole wheat biscuits, whole wheat toast, etc. Especially for pregnant women in northern regions, it is necessary to replace breakfast pancakes and fried dough sticks with oatmeal porridge, although it may be a little uncomfortable. Oatmeal can keep you more energetic and reduce the cholesterol level in your body. Of course, don't buy those sweet-tasting, highly processed oatmeal. Natural oatmeal without any sugar or other added ingredients is more effective. At that time, you can add some peanut kernels, dried blueberries or pure honey according to your preference. Snacks such as whole-wheat biscuits can effectively relieve morning sickness if you bite them slowly; whole-wheat bread is rich in iron and zinc.

[2] Vegetables: When making salad, don’t forget to add dark-colored bamboo shoots. Dark-colored vegetables usually mean high vitamin content. Cabbage is a good source of calcium. You can add this fresh vegetable to delicious soups or dumpling fillings at any time. As for broccoli, some people once thought that it was rich in iron and was regarded as one of the vegetables that can prevent anemia during pregnancy. However, experts recently pointed out that spinach does not contain much copper, but contains a lot of oxalic acid which affects the absorption of zinc and calcium, so don't eat too much spinach. The benefits of cauliflower are many. It contains calcium and folic acid, a lot of fiber and antioxidants to resist disease, and it is also beneficial for the absorption of iron groups in other fruits and vegetables.

[3] Lean pork: Lean pork contains iron and is easily digested and absorbed by the body. During pregnancy, the total blood production of pregnant women will increase. In order to ensure sufficient nutrition for the fetus, the need for iron in pregnant women will increase doubly. If the body does not store enough iron, pregnant women will feel easily fatigued, so it is extremely important to supplement adequate iron through diet, especially lean meat.
