The main points of expectant mothers' diet:
At this time, the nutrients that need to be stored in the fetus increase, and the nutrients that pregnant mothers need also reach a peak. Therefore, we should diversify our diet, expand the sources of nutrients and ensure the supply of nutrients and calories. In order to meet the nutritional needs of this period, pregnant women should add more beans and protein, eat more tofu and drink more soy milk on the basis of their diet in the second trimester. In order to meet the needs of a lot of calcium, we should eat more seafood such as kelp and laver. In order to meet the needs of vitamins, eat more animal livers.
How to eat in the second trimester? The staple food should not be monotonous, but should eat miscellaneous grains and rice noodles. Non-staple food should be comprehensive and diverse, with meat and vegetables. Eat more foods rich in various nutrients, such as pork liver, lean meat, eggs, seafood, fish and shrimp, dairy products and bean products. Eat more fresh yellow-green leafy vegetables and fruits to ensure the normal growth and development of the fetus. It is easy to be constipated and heartbroken during this period, so you should eat more fiber-rich foods, such as celery, cabbage and coarse grains. Heartburn is mostly because you eat too much sugar, so you can eat more radishes, because radishes contain enzymes that digest sugar. As long as you are not picky about food and have a diversified diet, your baby's nutrition can generally be satisfied. But it is not that the more nutrients you consume, the better the development of the fetus.
1, increase staple food intake
The rapid growth of fetus and the growth of maternal tissue in the second trimester need a lot of heat energy, which must be met by eating staple food. Some pregnant women mistakenly believe that improving the dietary structure in the second trimester is mainly to eat more animal foods such as fish and meat. In fact, excessive intake of animal food to supply heat energy will not only waste but also increase the burden on mothers. Therefore, adequate intake of staple food in the second trimester plays an important role in ensuring heat supply, saving protein, ensuring fetal growth and maternal tissue growth.
Step 2 eat more animal offal
Animal viscera, including kidney, liver, heart, stomach, etc. , not only is rich in high-quality protein, but also contains some vitamins and inorganic salts, which are insufficient in other foods, and the liver is the best in the internal organs.
In the second trimester, pregnant women's demand for heme iron, riboflavin, folic acid, vitamin A and other nutrients increased significantly. Therefore, it is suggested that women in the second trimester choose to eat a certain amount of animal viscera at least once a week.
3. Increase the intake of vegetable oil
Lipids, especially essential fatty acids, are the material basis for myelination of cell membrane and central nervous system. In the second trimester, the fetal body and brain develop rapidly, and the demand for lipids and essential fatty acids increases, which must be supplemented in time.
Therefore, cooking should increase the amount of vegetable oil in the second trimester, namely soybean oil, peanut oil and vegetable oil. In addition, women in the second trimester can also choose to eat some high-oil foods such as peanuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds.
4. Increase animal food.
The high-quality protein provided by animal food is the material basis for fetal growth and tissue growth of pregnant women. In addition, the quality of protein provided by beans and bean products is similar to that of animal food. However, the protein provided by animal foods should account for more than 1/3 of the total protein.
5, reasonable cooking, reduce the loss of vitamins.
The demand for various vitamins increases in the second trimester. When choosing food, we should pay attention to choosing foods rich in vitamins, but avoid the loss of vitamins caused by unreasonable cooking and processing. Cooking with high oil temperature and stewing for a long time will destroy the vitamins contained in vegetables.
6. Eat less and eat more.
By the second trimester, the appetite of pregnant women is greatly stimulated, and the amount of food per meal has increased. However, with the progress of pregnancy, the uterus may squeeze the stomach when it enters the abdominal cavity, and pregnant women are prone to feel full after every meal. In this regard, pregnant women should appropriately reduce the intake of each meal to achieve comfort, and at the same time increase the catering, 4 to 5 meals a day.
Diet strategy in the second trimester: what food should I eat in the second trimester 1 or above? Whole wheat products: porridge, graham crackers and whole wheat bread.
Especially for pregnant women in the north, they should change the biscuit fritters into porridge for breakfast, although they will be somewhat unaccustomed. Cereals can keep you energetic and lower your cholesterol level. Of course, don't buy those sweet and refined cereals. Natural grains without sugar or other additives are the best. At this time, you can add some peanuts, raisins or honey according to your preference. Graham crackers snacks, chewing slowly, can effectively relieve morning sickness; Whole wheat bread can provide rich iron and zinc.
2. Vegetables: lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, etc.
Don't forget to add black lettuce when making western salad. Dark vegetables usually mean high vitamin content. Cabbage is a good source of calcium. You can add this fresh vegetable to soup or dumpling stuffing at any time. For spinach, it was once thought that it was rich in iron and was regarded as one of the vegetables that could prevent anemia during pregnancy. But recently, experts suggested that spinach does not contain much iron, but it contains a lot of oxalic acid that affects the absorption of zinc and calcium, so don't eat more spinach. Cauliflower has many advantages, such as being rich in calcium and folic acid, rich in fiber and antioxidants against diseases, and also helping to absorb iron from other green vegetables.
3. Fruits: oranges, bananas and apples.
Citrus and fruits are various and economical. Although 90% of them are water, they are rich in vitamin C, folic acid and a lot of fiber, which can help pregnant women maintain their physical strength and prevent fatigue caused by lack of water. Bananas can provide energy quickly and help pregnant women overcome fatigue. If your morning sickness is serious, eating bananas is easier for your stomach to accept. Apples are also suitable for pregnancy. An apple a day can make the baby's skin fair. It should be noted that expectant mothers with diabetes and other diseases must eat less watermelon, because the high sugar content of watermelon will aggravate the condition of expectant mothers.
4. Milk and bean products
Pregnant women should consume about 1000 mg of calcium every day, and only 3 cups of skim milk can meet this demand. Yogurt is also rich in calcium and protein, which is good for gastrointestinal health. Some pregnant women have the habit of being vegetarian. In order to get enough protein, they can only get the nutrition they need during pregnancy from bean products.
5. Lean meat
Because lean meat is rich in iron, it is easily absorbed by the human body. During pregnancy, the total blood volume of pregnant women will increase. In order to ensure that the fetus has enough nutrition, pregnant women's demand for iron will increase exponentially. If the iron stored in the body is insufficient, pregnant women will feel extremely tired, so it is extremely important to supplement enough iron through diet, especially lean meat.
6. dried fruit
Nuts such as peanuts contain unsaturated fats that are good for heart health. However, because the calorie and fat content of nuts are relatively high, the daily intake should be controlled at about 30 grams. Dried fruits such as preserved apricots, dried cherries and sour horns are convenient, delicious and portable, which can satisfy the desire of pregnant women to eat sweets at any time.
Diet strategy in the second trimester: What foods should pregnant women avoid? 1, spicy sauce.
Zanthoxylum bungeanum, Zanthoxylum bungeanum, pepper, fennel, star anise, cinnamon and spiced powder are easy to consume intestinal water and reduce gastrointestinal secretion, leading to stomach pain, hemorrhoids and constipation. Many pregnant mothers prefer to eat sour hawthorn, but eating too much will cause uterine contraction and miscarriage, so eat less.
2. Exciting diet
Pregnant women who drink a lot of caffeinated drinks and food will have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, headache and rapid heartbeat. It will also enter the fetus through the placenta, affecting fetal development. Tea is rich in caffeine, which increases the burden on the heart and kidneys of pregnant women and is not conducive to the healthy development of the fetus.
Step 3: sweet food
The metabolism of sugar in human body will consume a lot of calcium, and calcium deficiency during pregnancy will affect the development of fetal teeth and bones. Eating too much chocolate is not good, which will make pregnant women feel full and affect their appetite. Therefore, they are fat and lack the necessary nutrition.
4, monosodium glutamate
MSG is a common condiment at ordinary times, but pregnant women should pay attention to eating less or not. The main component of monosodium glutamate is sodium glutamate, and zinc in blood is excreted from urine after combining with it. Excessive intake of monosodium glutamate will consume a lot of zinc, which is not conducive to the development of fetal nervous system.
5, ginseng, longan and other supplements
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that most pregnant women are deficient in yin and blood, and eating people will cause excessive consumption of qi and yin, which will aggravate early pregnancy reaction, edema and hypertension.
Longan warms the yang, and pregnant women eat it easily to replenish blood and abort; Therefore, it is inedible.
6. Foods containing additives
Additives and taboos contained in canned food are risk factors for teratogenesis and abortion, so pregnant mommy should stay away from canned food. Alum is an inorganic substance containing aluminum, which can invade the fetus through the placenta.
