Fetal intelligence development
As an expectant mother, you should pay more attention to your diet. Because your food and health are not only related to yourself, but also directly affect the developing fetus. For the intellectual development of the fetus, in addition to genetic factors, diet is also a very important factor. Therefore, during pregnancy, you must pay attention to the intake of DHA-rich foods.
Marine fish
One of the foods richest in DHA is of course sea fish! Deep-sea fish are especially abundant, such as salmon, tuna, cod, etc. It is best to eat sea fish twice a week so that your baby can fully obtain DHA. But be careful not to overeat marine fish, because some marine fish such as sharks, swordfish, etc. contain a large amount of mercury, and excessive intake of mercury can cause harm to the human body. Therefore, pregnant mothers also need to pay attention to balance when eating seafood.
Nuts
In addition to marine fish, there are some plant foods that can also provide rich DHA, such as nuts. Nuts such as walnuts, almonds, and cashews are generally rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially omega-3 fatty acids (including DHA). Pregnant mothers can eat an appropriate amount of nuts every day, which are nutritious and convenient.
Beans
Beans are not only rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, but they are also one of the healthy choices for pregnant women to consume DHA. Types such as soybeans, pinto beans, black beans, mung beans, etc. not only contain omega-3 fatty acids, but also are rich in dietary fiber, which can help pregnant mothers prevent constipation and strengthen intestinal peristalsis.
Seaweed
Seaweed is also a plant-based source of DHA that cannot be ignored. They contain many trace elements and vitamins, especially a special type of omega-3 fatty acids called EPA and DHA. Regular intake of foods like seaweed, kelp, kelp, etc. can help regulate the endocrine system of pregnant women and help them resist common mood swings during pregnancy.
Summary
Pregnancy is the period during which the fetus develops most rapidly in its life, and DHA is one of the important nutrients that affects the intellectual development of the fetus. Marine fish, nuts, beans and seaweed are rich in DHA. Pregnant mothers can pay attention to their intake when eating the above foods. In daily life, pregnant mothers should also do more aerobic exercise, pay attention to maintaining emotional stability, and avoid excessive stress. These have a positive impact on the intellectual development of the fetus.
