How to choose foods during each period of pregnancy

　　Early pregnancy: Generally speaking, in the early stages of pregnancy, we recommend that you do not need to supplement too many additional nutrients in terms of calories, protein, fat, etc., because during this period fetus It is the period of cell division. During this period, it only needs to be balanced with the basic nutritional status before pregnancy, and it can basically meet the physiological needs of the human body. However, some studies now believe that proper supplementation of nutrients such as folic acid before pregnancy and early pregnancy can prevent cleft palate, harelip Such nerve Pipes disease , so we generally recommend taking folic acid during the first three months of pregnancy. The daily dosage of folic acid is generally required to be 400 micrograms, which is also a dose of 0.4 mg.

　　Generally speaking at this time, we can Hospital Or go to the drug store to buy folic acid. We believe that folic acid has certain benefits in preventing fetal neural tube disease.

　　How to choose from a food perspective?

　　In fact, folic acid was originally extracted from the leaves of vegetables, so it is called folic acid. Folic acid is generally found in relatively high amounts in green vegetables. Later, with the development of science, we found that it is found in the liver, kidneys, egg The folic acid content in these foods is also quite high, so as long as you eat a balanced diet and choose a variety of foods, the nutrition can basically meet your body's needs. Generally speaking, folic acid is an aspect that attracts everyone's attention in the early stages of pregnancy.

　　In addition, we need to pay attention in the early stage, because we have just mentioned that the early stage is mainly an internal environment that has pregnancy reactions, such as changes in progesterone and estrogen. After the changes, the mother's body will have some corresponding reactions. At this time, we need to have an adaptation process. How should we pay attention to this process from the perspective of nutrition and diet? Generally, we recommend that you try to choose lighter and easier-to-digest foods at this time, and choose less fried or greasy and meaty foods, so that your morning sickness The reaction is reduced.

　　At the same time, we also ask you not to be too picky when choosing food, and not to worry too much. Some people think that my pregnancy reaction is so uncomfortable that I can't eat and will vomit when I eat. This is wrong, and you should make psychological adjustments. If you want morning sickness to be a normal process, it will also be helpful to help you get through this period smoothly. We generally recommend eating some vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, and green leafy vegetables at this time, and you can also stew some clear soup, which has certain benefits for pregnant women.

　　Second trimester: After the first trimester, it enters the second trimester. The second trimester is generally three months after pregnancy. Basically, most pregnant women have successfully overcome the early pregnancy reactions, so at this time, pregnant women's mental state and appetite will undergo great changes. Many people obviously feel that their appetite has increased. At this time, we first pay attention to correcting the phenomenon of malnutrition due to pregnancy reactions in the early stages of pregnancy. Generally, we require some routine examinations in the third month of pregnancy. When doing these examinations, you can choose the nutrients you should pay attention to and adjust according to your own situation and the growth and development of the fetus.

　　In addition, you need to properly supplement protein during this period. The second trimester is an important period for the growth and differentiation of various organs of the fetus. At this time, the demand for protein is relatively large, which means that we usually refer to lean meats, such as fish and milk, which are foods rich in protein. In addition, calcium, vitamins, minerals, etc. must also be supplemented appropriately. Relatively speaking, the intake of nutrients during this period is higher than before pregnancy, so when we choose food, we should choose foods containing various nutrients.

　　Third trimester: In the third trimester of pregnancy, many people may feel that the baby is growing faster and faster, and that movement has become inconvenient, because after 7 months, the fetus may occupy a larger space in the abdominal cavity. You will feel full as soon as you eat something, and you will feel hungry if you don't eat for a while. It is quite contradictory at this time. The fetus is growing rapidly during this period and its nutritional requirements are increasing. What should we do at this time? During this period, when choosing food, we should pay attention to choosing some foods that are more refined or smaller in size and have more complete nutrients to supplement, so as to meet the needs of the fetus for growth and development in the body.

　　How to choose? We generally consider it from several aspects. Because we know that nutrition is actually a process, not as simple and fast as a biochemical reaction in a test tube. The human body has many processes, such as digestion, absorption, metabolism, and excretion. When we supplement nutrition, we must also consider how to choose food. Now the nutritional perspective is different from before. Some people may think that eating fish is good for the brain, while others say that grain is good. In fact, our diet must have a systematic structure, that is, how I choose my food, which is what we often call food selection behavior now. Behavioral nutrition is a very critical and important aspect. First of all, the first step is to ensure your nutrition. You must first know how to choose this food and when to choose to eat it. It is good for me. After you choose the food, how you mix the food within a reasonable range is what we call a reasonable diet structure.

　　The third aspect is that after the structure is reasonable, in order to minimize the destruction of nutrients, you must pay attention to the cooking method. For example, the most typical example is that everyone often eats eggs. Boiled or steamed eggs are relatively easy to digest and absorb, but frying them in oil may reduce digestion and absorption. So this is also an issue that we all need to consider. This is what we should pay attention to during pregnancy.
