Should not eat too much fruit during pregnancy? The results of epidemiological survey showed that the incidence of abnormal glucose metabolism during pregnancy increased year by year in China, and the incidence of maternal and neonatal health hazards also increased. The reason is eating too much fruit during pregnancy!
Unreasonable diet is an important factor leading to this problem. "Nowadays, many pregnant women have misunderstandings in their diet. For example, they think that if they eat more fruits during pregnancy, their baby's skin will be white and tender. "The expert explained.
In fact, pregnant women eat too much fruit for pregnancy obesity and gestational diabetes. Experts have done a survey also found that gestational diabetes mellitus patients eat more fruits than healthy pregnant women.
Experts suggest that all pregnant women should first choose fruits with relatively low sugar content, such as watermelon, apple, pear, orange, peach, grape, etc. pregnant women should not eat more than 500 grams of fruit every day, while pregnant women with abnormal glucose metabolism or gestational diabetes mellitus should halve. It is recommended to add fruits after blood sugar control is stable. Secondly, if you like to eat banana, pineapple, litchi, persimmon and other fruits with higher sugar content, you must have a small amount.
Diabetic pregnant women must calculate the daily intake of total calories, if the fruit to eat more, it is necessary to reduce the staple food, in order to ensure that the total calorie intake throughout the day does not exceed the standard. But you can't use fruit instead of staple food, because staple food is a complex carbohydrate, it will not raise blood sugar quickly in the short term, while fruit is the opposite. The time to eat fruit is also very important, it is best to choose between two meals, so as not to make blood sugar too high, and can prevent the occurrence of hypoglycemia.
Excessive intake of high-fat foods such as nuts during pregnancy is also very harmful to health. This kind of food contains high calorie, also can cause the blood sugar to rise.
