Eating
too much is not good
It has become almost a saying in our country that a pregnant woman
should eat as much as 2 Men. This is wrong. Although pregnant woman need more
nutrients such as calcium, iron and protein even in second and third trimester,
they need more calories in the second trimester. A pregnant woman should eat
only 300 extra calories. But this food should not be junk, i.e. fast food type,
but he should eat foods that contribute to the physical development
of the child, such as eating half a cup of fruit or taking a sandwich and remember
that there is no need to eat as much as 2 men a day. Just
stay away from junk foods and junk foods and eat only wholesome foods.
Don't avoid
work
It has been said for centuries in the Indian subcontinent that a
pregnant woman should not work.
She should just lie down on the bed and rest, even though modern medical
science has proved this to be wrong. In this way, she stays awake for the whole
forty weeks, does not suffer from stress and is protected from many pregnancy
related disorders such as attack, diabetes. Working makes motherhood easier and
the body does not have to be smart later.
Iron, calcium and protein
All three of the above nutrients are essential for the health of a
pregnant woman and her baby.
Pregnant women should get 27 to 30 mg of iron from their diet. The
major sources of iron are
are meat, whole grains, greens, oatmeal and dried apricots. Similarly,
one cup of greens provides one milligram while one cup of dried apricots
provides 3 milligrams of steel. It should be noted that foods that contain
vitamin C should also be consumed almost daily. In fact, vitamin C helps the
body absorb iron. The daily amount of calcium for a pregnant woman is 5 mg.
Milk and
milk products
Drinking a glass of pure milk can easily get 400-500mg of calcium. If
the pregnant woman does not like dairy products, she should get calcium from
other foods, such as a cup of cooked greens provides 246 mg of calcium. Similarly, one cup of cabbage
provides 94, cauliflower 61 and beans 46 mg of calcium. Dried figs are also a
source of calcium. One cup of figs provides 241 mg of calcium. However
due to its high energetic value, daily use of this mineral is not suitable.
Meat
products
All type of meat are high in protein. Pregnant woman should also take 60 mg of protein daily. Women who abstain from meat can eat soybeans and pulses as a source of protein.
DHA
Omega 3
This type of fat is found in most types of fish. A pregnant woman
also needs fatty acids. eggs, walnuts and soybeans milk also provide adequate
amounts of DHA Omega-3 fatty acids.
Vitamin
B6
Vitamin B6 develops the child’s mind and makes him intelligent. This vitamin is found in poultry, fish, red meat, eggs and dairy products. If a pregnant woman is a vegetarian, she can prescribe vitamins on the advice of a doctor.
Fish;
useful food for baby
If the pregnant woman is in good financial condition then she must
eat one and half kg of fish a week. Research has shown that women who eat fish
during pregnancy have children who are mentally strong and agile, while
children who do not eat fish are found to be mentally retarded and have
difficulty communicating with others. Fish contains DHA omega-3 fats. This fat is essential for the
development of the child's mind and eyes. Since our body does not make this
fat, it should be obtained from foods. Some of it is also found in Maltese
