About five months of pregnancy is the period when the fetus develops and grows most rapidly and has the greatest demand for nutrients. Therefore, the dietary principle at this stage is not only large in quantity, but also high in quality. The ancients specifically recommended eating nutritious foods such as mutton and beef. Generally speaking, you should eat 1-2 eggs, 50-100 grams of lean meat, 100-150 grams of soy products, and about 500 grams of vegetables every day. It would be better if you can eat animal liver, blood, bone soup, fish and fresh fruits regularly. Seaweed, seaweed, dried shrimps, dried shrimps and other seafood, sesame seeds, peanuts, walnuts and other nuts are particularly beneficial to pregnant women.

Nutritional conditioning during the 5th month of pregnancy

1. Proper vitamin supplementation.

Some pregnant mothers are deeply afraid that their fetuses will be deficient in vitamins, so they blindly take supplements every day and take some vitamin-containing medicines. Vitamins are indeed indispensable during the development of the fetus, but they must be supplemented reasonably. Blind supplementation will cause another kind of harm to the fetus. Excessive intake of vitamin A can affect the development of the fetal brain and heart. If pregnant mothers supplement too much vitamin D, it will lead to idiopathic infant hypercalcemia, and in severe cases, it will be accompanied by reduced IQ.

2. Pay attention to supplementing trace elements

1. Iodine. Iodine is an important raw material for the synthesis of thyroxine, and iodine deficiency will inevitably lead to a decrease in thyroxine. In iodine-deficient areas, women can eat more iodine-containing foods after pregnancy to prevent iodine deficiency.

2. Zinc. Zinc can participate in the metabolic process of human nucleic acids and proteins. Zinc deficiency in pregnant mothers during pregnancy can lead to disorders in the synthesis of DNA and metal-containing enzymes. Zinc deficiency during pregnancy will inevitably affect the development of the embryo. During this period, pregnant mothers can selectively eat more zinc-rich foods such as sesame seeds, walnuts, oatmeal, and soy products.

3. Copper. Maternal copper deficiency can affect the activity of certain enzymes and the absorption and movement of iron in the fetus, leading to anemia. Pregnant mothers can try to eat more sesame seeds, soybeans, animal liver and other foods during pregnancy.
