The mid-pregnancy diet should pay attention to:
1, the diet should be rich in calcium
Calcium is an important ingredient in the formation of bones and teeth, to help muscle contraction, and to maintain the function of the blood, which needs to be taken in large quantities in the mid-pregnancy. Sardines and dried small fish are an important source of calcium, but choose meals that contain less salt. Dairy products, green vegetables, eggs, almonds and sesame seeds are rich in calcium. High-calcium foods can improve absorption when eaten with beef, pork and chicken.
2, adequate intake of iron
Intake of iron can prevent anemia, iron rich foods such as red meat, animal liver. Iron food and vitamin C together, the absorption rate will be higher, because vitamin C in the human body can promote iron absorption. On the contrary, beverages such as black tea and coffee contain caffeine, which can hinder the absorption of iron in the body. Pregnant moms can't drink these beverages 1 hour before eating.
3, consume food rich in fiber
More food rich in fiber can effectively prevent constipation, but need to eat moderately, so as not to affect the absorption rate of calcium and iron. In order to consume enough fiber, pregnant women can replace white rice with mixed grain rice, replace soup or chicken soup with vegetable soup, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Each meal should eat more than two kinds of vegetables, seaweed, seaweed, kombu, nori and other seaweed food should eat more than one kind a day.
