In this great age, pregnant women no longer have to worry about lack of food and drink, however, is it right to eat and drink a lot? Not really! Every pregnant woman has a common wish to give birth to a healthy and energetic baby, so when you look around, the mothers-to-be really put a lot of effort into eating. We are always surrounded by such scenes: mothers-to-be eat all kinds of food, eat in different ways, all for the sake of the treasure in the belly, fearing that the fetus in the belly stunted. Is this right? The more you eat, the better? It is possible that the “psychological hunger” is at work, although it is no longer the era of not having enough to eat, there are many people who believe that the more pregnant women eat the better. Malnutrition is bad, but overnutrition is also a headache, and the latter is a problem that we should be more alert to today, because obesity is associated with many diseases. Obesity in pregnant women is a risk factor for obesity and metabolic abnormalities in offspring, and there are also studies that have found many common food allergens in the amniotic fluid of pregnant women that may be associated with food allergies in newborns after birth. Therefore, too much is not enough, the more pregnant women eat does not mean that the fetus is healthier. 2, pregnant women eat a lot, the child grows big? Put aside offspring obesity, there is a very ironic problem, that is not pregnant women eat a lot of children grow big, sometimes things eat in, but fat grows in the mother-to-be. To understand the relationship between maternal diet and newborn birth weight, Crume and her team from the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Center studied 1,040 mother-child (female) pairs, recording maternal diet and newborn length, weight, head circumference and body fat content at several points in time during pregnancy over a 24-hour period. Half of the pregnant women had a daily energy intake of 2025 calories, and the rest exceeded 2025 calories. The basic nutrients of most pregnant women’s food, namely carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, provided 48%, 32%, and 15% of the total energy, respectively. The study found that the total energy of the food consumed by pregnant women was more likely to affect the birth weight of the newborn, and that different nutrients contributed differently to the fat content of the newborn. The study was published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. 3, food also has a hierarchy of different food composition does not lead to different birth weight of newborns, however, it is interesting that the composition of food is the basis of the fat content of newborns. Different foods contribute differently to the amount of fetal fat. Babies who consume more carbohydrates and fats during pregnancy do not necessarily have an increase in birth weight, however, the fat content increases. The weight of pregnant women should be properly controlled 100 calories from saturated fatty acids in the diet of pregnant women can lead to an increase of 11 g of fat in the newborn, while 100 calories from unsaturated fatty acids can lead to an increase of 6 g of fat in the newborn, and the contribution of carbohydrates to the fat content of the newborn is relatively low, only 3 g per 100 calories. In this regard, the researchers said that during pregnancy The researcher said that it is important to choose the right food during pregnancy, for drinks and junk food without much nutrition or stay away from it! 4, mothers-to-be, stop eating so hard! Obesity during pregnancy is not only bad for pregnant women themselves, for the fetus, obesity, metabolic abnormalities are also likely to occur. Pay attention to the pregnancy weight gain control in the appropriate range or very important drops. Studies have confirmed that moderate physical activity and a reasonable diet can reduce excessive weight gain during pregnancy and the incidence of obesity in the offspring. Green vegetables and fruits rich in micronutrients can effectively reduce the incidence of gestational diabetes. So, a reasonable diet and the necessary physical activity is the way to go, mothers-to-be, don’t just eat again!
