In these great times, pregnant women no longer have to worry about lack of food and drink, however, is it right to eat and drink? Not really! Every pregnant woman has a common wish, hope to give birth to a healthy and energetic baby, so look around, mothers-to-be in the matter of eating really put a lot of effort. We are always surrounded by such a scene: mothers-to-be eat all kinds of food, eat in different ways, all for the sake of the baby in the stomach, for fear that the fetus in the womb is not well developed. Is this the right thing to do? If you go to the obstetrics and gynecology consulting, the answer is very likely to be huh da. 1, the more the better? NO! May be “psychological hunger” in the strange, although now is not the era of food, there are many people think that pregnant women eat the more the better. Malnutrition is certainly not good, overnutrition is also a headache, and the latter is today we should be more alert to the problem, because obesity and 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, which may be related to food allergies in newborns after birth. Therefore, too little, pregnant women eat more does not mean that the fetus is healthier. 2, pregnant women eat more, the child grows big? NO! Leaving aside the offspring of obesity regardless, there is a very ironic question, that is not pregnant women eat more children grow big, sometimes something to eat in, fat but long in the mother-to-be. To understand the relationship between maternal diet and newborn birth weight, Crume and his team from the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Center studied 1,040 pairs of mothers and children (female), recording the diets consumed by the pregnant women at several points in their pregnancies over a 24-hour period, as well as the length, weight, head circumference, and body fat content of their newborns. Half of the pregnant women consumed 2,025 calories of energy per day, and the rest exceeded 2,025 calories. The basic nutrients of most pregnant women’s food, i.e., carbohydrates, fats, and proteins provided 48%, 32%, and 15% of the total energy, respectively. The study found that the total energy intake of food by pregnant women better influences the birth weight of their newborns, and that different nutrients contribute differently to the fat content of newborns. The study was published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. 3.Food also has a grade Different food composition does not lead to different birth weight of newborns, however, it is interesting to note that food composition is the basis of the fat content of newborns. Different foods contribute differently to fetal fat mass. Babies who consume more carbohydrates and fats during pregnancy do not necessarily have an increased birth weight, however, they do have an increased fat content. 100 calories from saturated fatty acids in a pregnant woman’s diet can lead to an increase of 11g of fat in the newborn, while 100 calories from unsaturated fatty acids can lead to an increase of 6g of fat in the newborn, and carbohydrates have a lower contribution to the fat content of the newborn, with each 100 calories leading to an increase of only 3g of fat in the newborn. In this regard, the researchers said it is important to choose the right foods during pregnancy The researchers said that it is important to choose the right food during pregnancy, and to stay away from beverages and junk food that is not very nutritious! 4, moms-to-be, stop eating hard! Obesity during pregnancy is not only bad for the pregnant woman herself, for the fetus, obesity, metabolic abnormalities are also likely to occur. Pay attention to the pregnancy weight gain control in the appropriate range is still very important drops. Some studies have confirmed that moderate physical activity and reasonable diet can reduce excessive weight gain during pregnancy and the incidence of obesity in offspring. Green vegetables and fruits rich in trace elements can effectively reduce the incidence of gestational diabetes. Therefore, a reasonable combination of diet and the necessary physical activity mode is the king, mothers-to-be, don’t just eat hard!
