The diet of pregnant women has always been a concern for everyone, because pregnant women are a special group and need to consume sufficient nutrients to meet their own and the needs of the fetus. However, if they eat the wrong food, it will affect the growth and development of the fetus. Therefore, some pregnant women want to know what foods are good for pregnant women to eat?
Pregnant women should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits during pregnancy, as vegetables and fruits contain a variety of nutrients, among which vitamins, trace elements, and dietary fiber have the highest content, which helps to enhance the physical fitness of pregnant women, improve the body's immune resistance, and dietary fiber can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, have a moisturizing and laxative effect, and prevent constipation.
Secondly, pregnant women should eat more protein rich foods, such as lean pork, chicken, fish, shrimp, milk and dairy products, beans and soy products, etc. Supplementing protein during pregnancy can not only maintain their own needs, but also promote fetal growth and development, playing an important role in fetal brain development.
Pregnant women can eat foods rich in folic acid during pregnancy. It is best to supplement folic acid in the early stages of pregnancy. Adequate supplementation of folic acid can effectively prevent fetal neural tube defects. However, the amount of folic acid in food is limited, and it is necessary to take some folic acid tablets. In addition, pregnant women can eat foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids and DHA, which can promote fetal brain and brain cell development.
