Professor Cai Yan from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University believes that women can't produce estradiol without fat under their skin. It is a natural estrogen in the body, which can promote and regulate the normal development of female sexual organs and accessory sexual characteristics. Women's pursuit of slimming will lead to excessive emaciation, which will cause abnormal ovarian axis, lead to ovarian hormone disorder, and affect ovulation and pregnancy; Too thin and too thin pregnant women have low productivity during childbirth, which affects the labor process.
Professor Chae Yeon said: "Many girls are very thin now, so it is definitely impossible to have children." "To put it bluntly, they have a small belly as a nutritional reserve for childbirth." She advised pregnant women to give up slimming, eat a balanced diet and eat some eggs, fish, meat, animal offal, sesame seeds, walnuts, bean products and so on. Provide the necessary nutritional intake for pregnancy in the weekly menu. Of course, greasy food should also be avoided, because expectant mothers are too fat, which makes doctors have a headache during childbirth.
Medical experts pointed out that women's body fat percentage should reach at least 17% in order to maintain normal menstrual cycle and sexual desire level, which is also the minimum fat standard for their healthy pregnancy, delivery and breastfeeding in the future. Because adipose tissue can convert the raw materials provided by adrenal cortex into estrogen, it is an important place to produce estrogen in the body except ovaries. If there is too little fat in the body, it will affect the synthesis of estrogen and its concentration level in the blood, resulting in insufficient estrogen level, which is one of the key criteria affecting women's fertility.
