Probably one of the hottest topics in mommy-to-be magazines, must-read pregnancy books, and online forums is pregnancy nutrition. Experts of all stripes have their own dictionaries and formulas, and the more specialized nutrition experts have a lot of formulas that make people respectful. A mother-to-be with gestational diabetes once came to my clinic and said that the nutrition specialist had given her “professional” instructions after assessing her through the computerized nutrition assessment system, but after strict implementation, her weight was not well controlled and her blood sugar continued to rise. Later, after my “non-professional” guidance, she was able to control her weight and blood sugar quickly. In fact, pregnancy nutrition is not that complicated, the following is my summary over the years, understandable, remembered, quite effective, no scientific data of pregnancy nutrition guidance advice. The first thing you need to do is to take care of your mouth and legs. But when you’re pregnant, you’re not eating for yourself, you’re thinking about the child in your belly. But never as mother-in-law mothers say, pregnant is two people, should eat more, to eat double the amount. The principle is: the right amount of balanced. The right amount is not to eat ten full, nine full is about the same, hungry what to do? You can eat cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, these vegetables both nutritious and contain very little sugar, any eat not move the gas. Balance is a good mix of meat and vegetables, promote diversity, to protect the intake of various vitamins and minerals. Eat less desserts and drinks To eat less sweet snacks and drinks, because these snacks and drinks contain a lot of sugar, eaten easily absorbed into the transformation, so that the weight rose significantly. Control fruit intake Be careful to control the intake of fruit, the saying “more fruit is good” is not entirely true during pregnancy. Nowadays, fruits are getting sweeter and sweeter than before, which means that the sugar content is very high, and eating too much of them will make you gain weight quickly. Some mothers-to-be gain weight too quickly and are not able to control it well, so when you ask her about her three meals a day, she will say, “I eat very little,” and when you ask her how much fruit she eats, she will tell you, “You can eat half a pound of grapes and a watermelon at a time! The first joke is that a middle-aged man went to the doctor and said he wanted to live a few more years and asked him what good health tips he had. The doctor asked: smoking? Do not smoke; drink? Do not drink; like beautiful women? General; like food? General; hello home to die, no hobbies, live so long why? Please note that here is not to promote smoking and alcohol, I do not smoke, slightly drink wine, love food! If the mother-to-be can only eat the so-called “healthy meal” without taste and starvation throughout pregnancy, then it is too inhumane. Moreover, many people simply can’t stick to it once they see the situation. I have a trick that has been tried and true. This is to ask the mother-to-be to do exactly what I asked her to do every day, but with the bonus of having one meal a week where she can indulge herself completely and eat whatever she wants, and eat as much as she wants (provided she doesn’t get killed). This “straw” has saved many people, and many mothers have told me that thanks to the once-a-week indulgence, she was able to control her weight and enjoy the food, otherwise she would not have been able to stick with it. Some mothers-to-be have a bad memory, not enough perseverance, weight gain is too fast and not well controlled, I would usually suggest that she keep a diet diary. It is to record everything you eat every day, whether it is a meal or a snack or a drink. Come to me after a week of writing and I will tell her how to adjust and reduce her intake. In fact, the process of keeping a diet diary is to involve her in the process of self-awareness and adjustment. Some mothers-to-be have already discovered the problems and made self-adjustments before they came back to see me. 2, open legs In addition to diet control, but also adhere to the exercise. The easiest and most effective way to exercise during pregnancy is to take a brisk walk, it is best to insist on a brisk walk for half an hour every day, in principle, after walking to have the feeling of sweating, the heartbeat should be significantly faster. Of course this varies from person to person, at the beginning you can adhere to walking, and then gradually transition to walking at medium speed and fast walking. In addition to walking, you can also insist on swimming and doing yoga. Goal: After entering mid-pregnancy, weight gain of no more than 1 pound per week, the child’s birth weight of about 6 pounds (can not do? Well, 6~7 pounds). If the child’s birth weight of about 6 pounds, usually adhere to the fast walk, you can walk as fast as you can, the child will certainly be born very smoothly, just like the tree fruit, ripe and will fall down! I once had a relatively obese mother-to-be visit me, very obedient during pregnancy, by the time of delivery, than the pre-pregnancy weight loss of 1 kg, the birth of a 7 kg child. Jealousy and envy, right? This is a rare case, and the purpose of telling you is to encourage you to keep your mouth shut and your legs open. Okay, I admit it: the temptation to eat is great, control is difficult, I do not necessarily do it myself. But you can do, for their own sake may not do, but for your baby, you can certainly do! 1.What foods are not allowed to eat during pregnancy? Can you eat chili peppers? The actual fact is that you can’t have a lot of the same things that you can’t have. The other reason for doing so is to fear food safety problems, always focus on the same thing to eat, in case it is a problematic food, the consequences are unimaginable. 2.Do I need to take bird’s nest to make up for my pregnancy? Yes, but it is not necessary. Bird’s nest is not as nutritious as it is said to be. Whenever my mothers-in-law ask me this question, my answer is: yes, if your family has too much money to use. 3. Can I eat raw fish after pregnancy? Yes, but make sure the raw fish you eat is healthy and fresh.
