The fetus depends entirely on the mother for nutrition, and the mother lacks nutrition during pregnancy, and the fetus is born with congenital deficiency, and its constitution is weak after birth. Someone has investigated 2 16 pregnant women. The average weight of babies born to well-nourished pregnant women is 5400 grams, while the average weight of babies born to malnourished pregnant women is only 3700 grams. Malnutrition in pregnant women will also affect the intelligence of babies after birth. Pregnant women are seriously undernourished, which may also cause miscarriage, premature delivery and even stillbirth.
Protein is the most indispensable nutrient for pregnant women. Because protein is the foundation of life and the main substance that constitutes human tissues and organs. Insufficient protein content in pregnant women's diet not only affects the overall development of the fetus, but also makes the fetal weight not up to standard. Low birth weight? And it will affect the development of fetal brain.
Fetal brain cells began to proliferate at 10 ~ 15 weeks, and the 25th week to the 6th month after birth is an important stage for the rapid proliferation and development of brain cells. Protein deficiency during pregnancy will lead to insufficient number of brain cells and abnormal brain cell structure, which will affect the intellectual development of the fetus and cause irreparable regret.
If you want to give birth to a healthy and intelligent child, please pay special attention to the needs of pregnant women for protein. Although some protein can be ingested through rice and pasta, the quantity is not enough, especially the quality is not good, and some essential amino acids are lacking. Therefore, we should also take high-quality protein from animal foods such as chicken, duck, fish, meat, milk, etc. to ensure the demand of pregnant women and fetuses for essential amino acids. Bean products such as bean curd, dried bean curd and bean sprouts are also rich in high-quality protein, which can be eaten with animal foods.
The lack of minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc and iodine and various vitamins will also have adverse effects on the development of the fetus. Because the fetus needs calcium for bone building, iron for hematopoiesis, iodine for thyroid, zinc for constitutive enzyme and synthetic protein, and vitamins to regulate the physiological function of the fetus.
Generally speaking, in addition to calcium and iron, pregnant women and fetuses can meet their needs for minerals and vitamins from cereals, fruits and vegetables. For example, if there is no shortage of meat, there will be no shortage of zinc; Vegetables and fruits are not lacking, and vitamin C is not lacking.
Besides cereals, fruits and vegetables, we especially recommend eggs and milk to pregnant women. An egg can grow into a chicken because it contains all kinds of nutrients that a chicken needs; Calves are born and grow by breastfeeding, because milk contains all kinds of nutrients it needs. Eating two eggs and drinking a glass of milk every day is a simple way for pregnant women to ensure the basic needs of protein and major minerals.
Pregnant women pay attention to nutrition, by no means eating as much as possible, nor blindly eating big fish and big meat, especially in the early stage of pregnancy, it is best not to eat enough at once, and it is best to eat less and eat more meals, and mainly delicious and light food. Wan's gynecology department makes it very clear: after a woman is pregnant, it is best to avoid satiety and blandness. Often get pure and peaceful gas to feed its fetus.
