Precautions for diet during pregnancy:

During pregnancy, pregnant women need to increase their intake of fat appropriately, but if pregnant women eat a high-fat diet for a long time, it is bound to increase the risk of fetal reproductive system cancer. Eating high-fat foods for a long time will increase the concentration of cholic acid and neutral cholesterol in the large intestine. At the same time, high-fat foods can increase the synthesis of prolactin and promote the occurrence of breast cancer, which is not conducive to maternal and infant health.
2. Excessive intake of high protein is not advisable.
According to medical research, the insufficient supply of protein makes pregnant women weak, the fetus grows slowly, the postpartum recovery is slow, and the milk meter secretion is scarce. Therefore, the daily protein requirement of pregnant women should reach 90-100g. However, a long-term high-protein diet during pregnancy will affect the appetite of pregnant women, increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and easily cause bloating, loss of appetite, dizziness, fatigue and other phenomena.

Pregnant women with high blood sugar are prone to give birth to overweight fetuses, and also easily lead to fetal congenital malformation and toxemia of pregnancy. A large number of medical studies show that eating too much sugar will weaken the immunity of the human body, reduce the disease resistance of pregnant women, and make them susceptible to germs and viruses, which is not conducive to eugenics.
