Milk is a patented product for mammals to raise their next generation. Comprehensive nutrition, rich content, easy digestion and absorption, and high nutritional value. Especially, milk contains protein and calcium, which is unmatched by other foods.

As we all know, milk is one of the important sources of calcium, which contains more calcium and has good absorption rate. Milk is also a good source of B vitamins, so it is very important for pregnant women to drink 500 grams of milk every day to supplement the whole diet.

Then, some pregnant mothers will ask, there are so many varieties of milk on the market now, how should they choose?

If you gain too much weight during pregnancy, for example, you gain more than 2 kilograms this month, then it is recommended that you drink skim milk. If you are a pregnant mother who pays more attention to weight management, it is also recommended that you drink low-fat milk and skim milk to prevent excessive weight gain.

Next, talk about pregnant milk powder. Pregnant women's milk powder will generally adjust the content of milk powder, remove some fat and sugar, and then strengthen the addition of some vitamins and minerals, which is more suitable for sugar mothers with fast weight gain or high blood sugar, especially sugar-free pregnant women's milk powder. However, it should be noted that pregnant women should never take pregnant women's milk powder and comprehensive vitamins at the same time.

Having said that, I want to learn some popular science knowledge. Many pregnant mothers say that drinking pregnant milk powder or taking multivitamin supplements such as Kang Run during pregnancy will quickly gain weight. Actually, this is a one-sided understanding. The content of these milk powders and pregnant women's multivitamins is to ensure that some pregnant women who vomit or are undernourished during pregnancy supplement nutrition, but will not gain weight. What really causes you to gain weight is that you usually eat too much staple food and sugar in your diet, especially in the second trimester. After experiencing morning sickness, many pregnant mothers greatly increase their appetite, start to eat whatever they want, and sometimes they are full, which causes your weight to soar.

Besides milk powder and milk, we often drink yogurt every day. The yogurt we bought in the supermarket is basically flavored yogurt with sugar, and the amount of sugar added is between 8%- 10%, which is very unfavorable for weight control and blood sugar management during pregnancy. Pregnant mothers must not drink too much yogurt with sugar.

It is recommended that pregnant mothers drink unsweetened yogurt, such as pure yogurt or xylitol yogurt, preferably unsweetened yogurt made at home.

On the packaging bag of yogurt products, you can clearly see whether sugar is added. Pregnant mothers should carefully distinguish when buying.

There are also many pregnant mothers who like to drink flavored milk such as breakfast milk and cereal milk. These flavored milk added a lot of sugar and other substances in the processing process, and the nutritional value is very low, so it is not suitable to be used as the main dairy products of pregnant women.

Low-lactose milk decomposes lactose in the factory, which is especially suitable for pregnant women to drink ordinary milk because of abdominal pain, diarrhea and abdominal discomfort, because the reason for these symptoms is that ordinary milk contains lactose.

There are some dairy products in the market, such as milk drinks, yogurt drinks, lactic acid bacteria drinks and processed cheese. This kind of dairy products have low nutritional value, and the contents of calcium, protein and other nutrients are also low. They are not pure dairy products, they should be counted as drinks. Pregnant women should drink less.

With the development of economy, dairy products emerge one after another in the market. Pregnant mothers should first look at the protein content when choosing dairy products, because the higher the protein content usually means the higher the calcium content, because calcium and protein are combined in milk. Generally, the content of protein will be written in the nutrient composition table on the label. Generally, the protein content of pure milk should be above 2.9%, the protein content of blended milk and yogurt should be between 2.4% and 2.5, and the protein content should be around 1%.

Many people have a misunderstanding when drinking milk, that is, there is absolutely no need to boil milk before drinking, because boiling will aggravate the destruction of nutrients. However, if you have the habit of drinking hot milk, I suggest you heat the milk below 40 degrees. Now many health pots have the function of heating milk. This is a directly set temperature. You just need to pour the milk in and press the heat button, which is very convenient.

However, some cities will sell fresh raw milk, which must be fully heated and boiled before drinking, because the milk is sold directly after being squeezed out and has not been sterilized at high temperature.

For milk purchased in supermarkets, fresh milk with a short shelf life is recommended first, and the shelf life is generally within 3 days. If there is no condition to buy fresh milk near home, it is best to choose high-temperature sterilized milk packaged by Tetra Pak Pillow.

According to the recommendation of China Nutrition Society, drink about 300g of milk every day in the first trimester and 500g of milk every day in the second trimester, including ordinary milk, yogurt and pregnant women's milk powder.

Some pregnant mothers are sensitive to the smell in milk. If this happens, you can soak milk with steamed bread and rolls, or make a fruit milkshake to drink.

If some pregnant mothers just can't drink milk, they should increase their calcium intake from other sources, such as eating 50 to 60 grams of soybeans or other foods containing calcium. In addition to eating more soy products, we should also increase the intake of green leafy vegetables every day, and consume more than 500 grams of green leafy vegetables every day. In addition, you can make up for the lack of calcium intake through shrimp skin, sesame sauce and other foods.

Well, so much knowledge about dairy products has been popularized today, I believe you have basically understood it. Next time you go to the supermarket, you have to check the content of protein in the dairy products you often drink ~ ~
