Drinking fruit and vegetable juice can really help pregnant mommy supplement nutrition, and can also use the high fiber of fruits and vegetables to prevent constipation that is easy to occur during pregnancy. However, remind pregnant mommy that the diet should be based on a balanced three meals. If you want to drink fruit and vegetable juice, don't forget to know the following five secrets to really drink healthy!
Don't drink fruit and vegetable juice on an empty stomach. Because fruits and vegetables are cold foods, it is recommended that pregnant mommy avoid drinking on an empty stomach and when she has a cold, so as not to cause excessive stimulation to the body. On the other hand, because the sugar content of fruit is relatively high, if you drink fruit and vegetable juice on an empty stomach, your blood sugar will rise faster, which will increase the risk of pregnant mommy suffering from gestational diabetes, so don't drink fruit and vegetable juice on an empty stomach. Although fruit juice is healthy, some people doubt the high sugar content. It is suggested that people combine vegetables and fruits to make fruit and vegetable juice to avoid excessive sugar intake.
Ordinary people make fruit and vegetable juices with uncooked vegetables; However, Dr. Wu reminded that the immunity of pregnant mommy is worse than that of ordinary people, so it is suggested that vegetables should be boiled in boiling water 10 seconds before being made into juice, which is more hygienic. Scalding vegetables can reduce the risk of eating pesticides and eggs and protect the health of mommy and baby.
Drink vegetables and fruits together. The healthiest thing is not only pregnant mommy, but many people like to drink sweet fresh juice, but they don't know that they may have drunk too much sugar! Because of the high sugar content of fruit, it is suggested that pregnant mommy should use vegetables and fruits together to avoid unintentional intake of polysaccharide and increase the probability of gestational diabetes and overweight.
Three servings of fruit a day is not too much. How much fruit and vegetable juice can you drink every day? Dr. Wu said that according to the standard that an adult woman recommends eating 4 servings of vegetables and 3 servings of fruits every day, it is no problem to eat more, because the sugar content of vegetables is very low, but the fruit with high sugar content should be limited. In other words, if pregnant mommy eats 1 serving of fruit a day, the fruit and vegetable juice on that day can only be made with the amount of 2 servings of fruit.
It is suggested that pregnant mommy can add 5 grams of nut juice to fruits and vegetables to absorb the excellent oil of nuts. Dr. Wu also pointed out in his book "The Miracle of Vegetables Not Getting Sick" that oil can help the surface of feces to be smoother and make defecation easier.
