The energy of the human body is all derived from the nutrients in the diet. Pregnant women absorb nutrients, both to meet their own needs and to meet the fetal growth needs. So what nutrients do women need to supplement and how do they supplement it during pregnancy?
1, folic acid
In the first month of pregnancy, many women do not know that they lack folic acid. They do not even know that they are pregnant. They may miss the crucial period for supplementing folic acid. In the absence of folic acid in pregnant women, it may lead to abnormalities in the fetal neural tube and eventually lead to spina bifida, resulting in severe dysfunction. Folic acid needs to be taken during pregnancy, and the first is to promote the normal growth of the foetus, because folic acid is an important factor in the metabolism of purine pyrimidines, and cells and tissues need to be rapidly increased. The second is to prevent erythrocytic anemia in pregnancy. In severe cases, it will cause miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, pregnancy poisoning, and postpartum hemorrhage.
Pregnant women can eat fruits rich in folic acid, such as cherry, peach, plum, apricot, bayberry, jellyfish, wild jujube, hawthorn, pomegranate, grapes, oranges, kiwi, strawberries.
2, protein
Protein is the main component of human cells, and amino acids are also important for fetal brain cell development. Loss of protein in pregnant women can affect pituitary gonadotropins, reducing estrogen and progesterone, and severe cases can lead to interruption of pregnancy. In general, an adult needs 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, while the fetus needs 3 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. In the third trimester of pregnancy, it is necessary to store a certain amount of protein for delivery and lactation.
Pregnant women can eat more foods with more protein, such as meat, fish, eggs, milk, beans.
3, zinc
Zinc promotes growth and improves taste. In the absence of zinc, taste, smell, anorexia, growth and mental development are lower than normal. Zinc supplementation in pregnant women means that pregnant women supplement zinc-containing nutrients during pregnancy.
During pregnancy, the demand for zinc in pregnant women is also increasing. If you do not get enough zinc, it can lead to abnormal fetal brain cell differentiation, and the total number of brain cells decreases. Newborns have low birth weights and even develop malformations. At the same time, blood zinc levels can also affect the contraction of the uterus of pregnant women. Blood zinc levels are normal and uterine contractions are strong. On the contrary, the uterus contracted weakly. Therefore, attention should be paid to the supplementation of zinc to ensure the normal development of the fetus and the smooth delivery of pregnant women.
Pregnant women can eat foods rich in zinc, such as bananas, seeds of plants (wheat germs, sunflower seeds, various nuts, etc.), and cabbage.
4, fat
Many pregnant Mommy will hear that when they hear the word fat, they can only gain weight. When pregnant, they should stay away from it and strictly control the intake of fat. If you don’t have a baby, you will have too much fat and a lot of fat. It’s not easy to recover. It belongs to the pregnant Mommy who talks about the “fat†discoloration. In fact, fat can provide energy, and it is an important component of cells. Fat is also a nutrient. When you are pregnant with a baby, you should eat more foods with high fat content. The baby in your stomach can look sturdy, and when your baby is confined, the milk will be sufficient and breastfeeding will be successful. Pregnant women should replenish 20-30 grams of fat every day in the diet, but it is best not to exceed 50 grams so as not to increase the burden on the liver or cause obesity.
Pregnant women can eat fatty foods such as fat, milk, nuts, and edible oils. The zinc content of oysters in seafood is the highest. The content of nuts in plant fruits is relatively high, such as peanuts, walnuts, etc. The content of apples in fruits is the highest, in addition to tofu skin, soybeans, white fungus, millet, radish, cabbage and so on. The amount of zinc contained in traditional Chinese medicines such as alfalfa, rehmannia, mulberry, ginseng and eucommia is also high.
