Felicity What to eat before pregnancy
Nutritional status before pregnancy and neonatal healthy There is also a very close relationship. If the nutritional status is good before pregnancy, the newborn will have a high weight, be healthy and lively, and rarely get sick during the perinatal period. It will even have a good impact on the child's intelligence.
Women with average physical and nutritional status should start to pay attention to their diet 3 months to half a year before pregnancy. They should consume sufficient amounts of high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and appropriate amounts of fat every day. These nutrients are fetus The material basis of growth and development.
High-quality protein refers to protein that is easy to digest and absorb, such as chicken, duck, fish, lean meat, shrimp, egg , tofu, soy products, etc.; vitamins are mainly A, D, C, and B. Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements, of which calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc and iodine are the most important. Calcium and phosphorus are directly related to the formation and development of fetal bones and teeth, iron is to hematopoietic function, and zinc and iodine are directly related to fetal intellectual development and prevention of malformations. Milk, eggs, bone soup, animal liver, dried shrimps, aquatic products, and nut foods all contain these substances. Moderate intake of fat can aid the absorption and utilization of fat-soluble vitamins.
For those who are thin and have poor nutritional status, pre-pregnancy diet is more important. It is best to pay attention to it about one year before pregnancy. In addition to the above-mentioned nutritional content being sufficient, attention should also be paid to comprehensive nutrition, no partial or picky eating, reasonable food mix, and attention to cooking techniques. Pay more attention to the changing of tastes, step by step, and do not rush for success. It is enough to achieve the best pre-pregnancy nutrition.
Generally speaking, people who are obese and have good nutritional status do not need to increase their nutrition. However, the intake of high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements is still essential. They should only eat less foods containing high fat and sugar.
"Tonic" before pregnancy: a balanced diet is enough
Do I need to take supplements before pregnancy? You don’t have to take expensive supplements to be considered a tonic. Physical and mental health is better than any tonic. In fact, maintaining my daily nutritional balance is enough. If even this basic requirement has not been met, pursuing the word "complement" is obviously a waste of time. For example, some women overeat and treat high-protein dishes such as turkey soup as a daily meal. Overeating does not control their weight, and fat may easily bring burdens to future pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnant women are prone to "pregnancy-induced hypertension", and giving birth to "giant babies" with overnutrition can cause fertility difficulties.
You just need to eat like normal people, eat everything, don’t be picky, pay attention to the variety of dishes, and maintain a balanced diet. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. High-protein meat, eggs, and milk are also needed by the body, but not excessive. It should be supplemented by high-protein foods, mainly fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition, adding whole grains to the staple food and adhering to this principle will be enough to meet the nutritional needs and the physical needs of the baby.
In addition, you must maintain a normal daily diet and lifestyle, and do not indulge in excessive eating and drinking when you are pregnant. A happy and relaxed mood is even more important. People with a happy mental state not only have a higher pregnancy rate, but also have a relatively higher fetal quality.
For example, the problem of infertility caused by the woman may include Uterus problems, fallopian tube problems, ovulation function, etc., and the man has sperm Whether the quantity is sufficient, sperm motility is insufficient, etc. Check where the problem lies, and then treat it or use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate it. Only then may you need to use some traditional Chinese medicine to "tonic".
