Nutrition is the material basis for maintaining health, preventing and treating diseases. During pregnancy preparation, we need to strengthen the supply and supplement of nutrients. We all know that the seven major nutrients humans need include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fiber and water. So how to combine nutrients before pregnancy?
1. Achieve standard weight.
If women of childbearing age are underweight and have poor nutritional status, they are more likely to give birth to low-birth-weight babies; if they are overweight, they are prone to certain pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia. Hypertension, gestational diabetes, etc., and can lead to the birth of babies with excess weight.
2. Arrange your diet reasonably.
People with normal weight should maintain healthy eating habits and overcome picky eaters and partial eclipses. People who are overweight should reduce their total daily caloric intake based on a balanced diet of nutrients. The principle is low in calories and fat, suitable for high-quality protein (such as fish, eggs, soy products, lean meat, milk, etc.) and mainly reducing fat (such as fat meat, offal, egg yolk, nuts, vegetable oil, etc.). Pay attention to the balanced combination of staple food and non-staple food. Millet, oats, sorghum, corn and other grains are rich in mineral nutrients, which cannot be synthesized by the human body and can only be absorbed from the outside world. Therefore, you cannot only eat vegetables and meat and ignore staple foods. Those who are underweight should correct their anorexia, picky eating, and partial eclipse habits and reduce snacks; ensure daily dietary nutrient intake, increase carbohydrates, high-quality protein, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc., and consume fat as needed, not too much; no smoking, alcohol, and Addictive drugs.
3. Correct nutritional imbalance.
Nutritional imbalance in pregnant mothers will lead to shortage or excess of certain nutrients required for fetal development, which is detrimental to eugenics. Therefore, pregnant mothers should have a comprehensive understanding of their nutritional status before pregnancy. If necessary, they can also consult a nutritionist, adjust their diet purposefully, and actively store nutrients that are usually low in the body.
4. Develop healthy eating habits.
Chew each meal carefully, extend the eating time, and avoid overeating. It is enough to be seven to eight times full. It is not advisable to be overfull. Strengthen nutrition, especially protein, minerals and vitamins. In addition to regular meals, eat more fruits of all kinds and plan each meal according to your eating plan.
