The first and foremost concern of pregnant women in China is to avoid eating, can you eat this? Can I eat this? Can I eat that? I have seen tens of thousands of prenatal checkups at Xiehe, and the most frequently asked questions are not about illness, but about food. When it comes to these questions, there are too many folk rumors that make doctors laugh and laugh, and they don’t even know where to start, such as eating rabbit meat will split your lip, eating lamb meat will make your child have crohns, eating duck meat will make your child grow flippers, eating fish will make your child throw up bubbles, eating crab will make your child walk sideways, eating donkey meat is even worse, you have to be 12 months pregnant, you can go straight after Nezha, and eating beef will make your child grow up without talking, etc. According to these folk logic, to give birth to a sound baby, it seems that you can only eat the living, in order to make the child smart, but also try to find like Einstein or Da Vinci so talented and highly intelligent eat, and it is best to swallow the whole child, the healing effect is good. There are many folk customs that have nothing to do with eating, such as pregnant women can not make scissors, otherwise the child will have harelip, listen to the doctor dumbfounded, that is not developed in the past science, do not understand the causes of fetal deformities, only to be so speculative. If this is the case, we spend all day on the operating table with knives and scissors doctors, and professional tailors, the child born must be a piece of soup ah? When the doctor, who has always been a medical problem solver, gets impatient with the questions, he may also helplessly and frantically throw out a sentence “Don’t ask, what you can eat during pregnancy can also be eaten, non-toxic things pregnant women can eat”! Is this really the case? Faced with the problem of eating, although the general summary can be “non-toxic things can eat”, but due to environmental pollution, heavy metal residues, bacteria, viruses, parasites and other issues, some things really can not eat more, some things are better not to eat, some things must not eat. Eating is a very important thing, mastering what to eat during pregnancy, how to eat, what must be observed in the kitchen code, what are the absolute and relative taboos, but also always adhere to do, then not only in pregnancy, a woman’s long life and her family will benefit. Common foods and condiments like lamb, potatoes, fungus, crabs, chili, onion, ginger and garlic can be eaten without the various shenanigans that are rumored to occur. The principles of diet during pregnancy are moderation of any food, reasonable mix, balanced nutrition and overall intake emphasizing diversity. Japan is the best developed country in Asia in terms of nutrition, and their dietary guidelines even call for 30 different kinds of food to be eaten every day. If you decide to eat a so-called “good” food for a long time and eat a lot of it, it can lead to a single intake of nutrients and a lack of other important nutrients. Pregnancy is not a restriction of any kind for women, but an opportunity to improve their lifestyle habits. For example, control weight growth, healthy diet, moderate exercise, good rest, eat breakfast, sleep well, do not stay up late, do not smoke and drink alcohol, do not abuse drugs, reduce the intake of coffee, tea, sugary drinks, pay attention to skin and oral hygiene, drink more water, do not hold urine, do not sit down, and develop a regular bowel habit.
