eating problem

Minefield 1: Excessive weight gain

Pregnant women should pay attention to the problem of excessive weight gain, because the fat deposited on the shoulders and buttocks during pregnancy is difficult to disappear later. Some fast food and snacks, such as chocolate, hamburgers and potato chips, are mainly composed of fat and sugar and have little nutritional value for the fetus. So the mother turns them into its own fat.

Reduce or avoid excess calorie intake so that postpartum weight loss tasks are greatly reduced. If you can eat plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, fish, poultry, and some low-fat foods (a recent study published by The Dane shows that eating fat-rich fish such as salmon, herring, sardines help reduce the proportion of premature babies), can meet the nutritional requirements of the fetus. Make your recipes wider and eat as varied as possible.

The following foods should be avoided during pregnancy, which often contain only sugar substitutes and refined flours.

●Any sweets, including white sugar, brown sugar, golden honey, syrup and synthetic products such as saccharin and other desserts.

● soft drinks, such as cola, sweetened fruit juice.

●Biscuits, cakes, snacks, pastries, pastries and jams and jellies.

●Canned fruit.

●Margarine.

●Breakfast sweetened cereals, porridge, etc.

●Ice cream, ice water with juice and sugar, can be replaced with frozen fruit or fruit puree.

● Sugary condiments such as peanut butter, appetizers, pickles, salad dressings, mayonnaise, and more.​​

Minefield 2: Excessive moisture, tobacco, alcohol and spicy food

Excessive water intake can not be taken during pregnancy, so as not to increase the burden on the kidneys. Drink an appropriate amount of water. Thirst is one of the symptoms of pregnancy-induced hypertension and diabetes, so if your thirst is severe, you should consult your doctor.

Affected by pregnancy, hobbies will change, some people become craving to smoke, and people who never drink alcohol in the past also like to drink. These should be opposed. If you smoke more than 20 cigarettes, nicotine will have a certain degree of influence on the cervical mucosa, which is harmful and not beneficial.

Don't eat overly spicy food too often. Some people refuse to eat anything because of pregnancy reaction. In order to have a little appetite, eat a little spicy food, it is a last resort, but you can't eat too much of these foods.

Minefield Three: Medicines
