Expectant mothers should pay attention to a balanced diet during pregnancy.
The diet during pregnancy should be diversified and balanced. The so-called balanced diet is to provide dietary standards and dietary formulas that meet health requirements, are comprehensive in nutrition and have reasonable proportions, and make reasonable arrangements according to actual weight. It is wrong to weigh less than or more than the amount that should be increased.
Pregnant women should not be vegetarian.
Fan Zhihong, an associate professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety, College of Food Science, China Agricultural University, said in his blog that vegetarianism may not be suitable for everyone and is not recommended for pregnant women.
Fan Zhihong explained that pregnant women are in a period of vigorous metabolism and rapid cell growth, and there is a great demand for nutrients, but some nutrients necessary for human growth and development, such as vitamin B 12 and vitamin D, are almost only found in animal-derived foods;
In addition, although various vegetarians also contain iron and zinc, their existing state is different from that of animal-derived iron and zinc, and they often contain a variety of "anti-nutritional factors" (that is, substances that hinder nutrient absorption), making these trace elements difficult to be absorbed and utilized by the human body.
Therefore, for children and pregnant women who have a strong demand for nutrients such as iron and zinc, as well as people with anemia and zinc deficiency symptoms, if they eat vegan food without additional nutrition, their condition may become more serious. Pregnant women lack these trace elements, which is more likely to affect their baby's development.
High blood sugar during pregnancy should be controlled by diet.
In the above case, the mother still has hyperglycemia in the third trimester of pregnancy, but she can't control it, and the babies born to diabetic mothers are prone to neonatal hypoglycemia, which is consistent with Dr. Zhang Silai's analysis. Lv Xiaoyan, the chief obstetrician of Guangdong Second People's Hospital, is a expectant mother. If her blood sugar is high during pregnancy, she must pay attention to her diet and control her blood sugar.
If the blood sugar control during pregnancy is not ideal, pregnant mothers are prone to pregnancy-induced hypertension, polyhydramnios, infection and other symptoms, and will also increase the chances of dystocia and caesarean section; Hyperglycemia during pregnancy may also lead to abortion, teratoma, premature delivery, intrauterine growth restriction, macrosomia, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal hypoglycemia and other diseases. It will do great harm to the baby.
Vegetarian food also has unhealthy food.
Many people think that vegetarian food is a healthy food, and vegetarian food is very healthy. However, Fan Zhihong said that vegetarianism can also be divided into healthy and unhealthy foods. Many malnourished foods, such as sugar, potato chips, puffed food, instant noodles, fried dough sticks, sweet drinks, preserved fruits and margarine, can be called "vegetarianism", but they are not good for health. Therefore, it is still possible to gain weight by being vegetarian, or it is still possible to have high blood sugar and high cholesterol.
The pregnant mother in the above case developed hyperglycemia in the third trimester of pregnancy, which indicates that there may be more high-sugar foods in her diet, so in the process of what she thinks is a "healthy" diet, she may consume unhealthy foods instead.
Therefore, although overnutrition during pregnancy is not a good thing, it is not conducive to fetal development if vegetarian diet is the mainstay every day. Balanced diet, meat and vegetable collocation is the diet collocation during pregnancy. In addition, some tonic foods should not be eaten too much by pregnant women.
As a pregnant woman, we should avoid the lack of nutrition in the diet, ensure that the body is in a state, and let our blood contain enough nutrition for the fetus.
