Pregnancy is a very important period in the life of every woman. Each expectant mother wishes her baby health, so her lifestyle unwittingly undergoes various changes. What you should pay attention to is the diet, because it is proper nutrition that allows you to enrich the body of mother and baby with useful substances necessary for growth and development.
A pregnant girl should focus on protein foods. Protein is a platform for building baby's organs. It is easy enough to get it - along with the meat. Animal protein is considered more useful in this case than vegetable protein. The only thing worth paying attention to is the quality of the meat. You should not eat fatty varieties, meat dishes should be carefully prepared, it is better to avoid too fatty foods. Boiled meat dishes are considered the preferred meals during pregnancy. Lightly roasted meat in a non-acidic or mild sauce can also be added occasionally to your diet.
At the very beginning of pregnancy, you should pay attention to foods containing calcium. To do this, stock up on dairy products and fruit juices. Also, for the full development of the embryo in the first weeks of pregnancy, manganese is needed, which is contained in bananas, spinach, and carrots.
If you are concerned about toxicosis, make it a rule to add ginger to the food you prepare. In the morning, you can have a snack in bed with a pre-prepared apple or cookie. In case of problems with the intestines, it is worth using fermented milk products.
In the second trimester, especially closer to its end, it is worth again focusing on foods containing calcium, because it is from the 29th week that the baby's teeth begin to form. You should also pay attention to foods containing fatty acids, such as fatty fish or nuts. In regions with iodine deficiency, the emphasis should be on seafood.
Closer to childbirth, it is worth remembering about carbohydrates. They are found in cereals and vegetables.
During pregnancy, you should not deny yourself fresh fruits and vegetables, because they are the main sources of natural vitamins.
But what should be tabooed is on alcoholic and carbonated drinks, a large amount of sweets, coffee, fatty, fried, spicy foods, dishes with an excess of spices and seasonings, and instant food.
As they say, everything is possible, but a little bit. It is better to avoid an overabundance of citrus fruits and honey in the diet, as they can cause potential allergies in the baby. Foods that are heavy on the stomach can cause indigestion and heartburn.
Eat a lot, but often. It is best to eat small meals 5-6 times a day. Feeling hungry before bed, drink a glass of kefir or eat one apple.
Easy pregnancy for you!
