Importance of nutrition during pregnancy
The dohad theory on nutrition during pregnancy - adult disease, from the foetus. If the mother is able to ensure balanced and comprehensive nutrition during pregnancy, it will have a positive impact on the health of the baby (and even the next generation of the baby) and, conversely, if the foetus experiences the effects of malnutrition, it will increase the probability of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc. Occurring in adulthood and even affecting the health of generations. For a well-nourished baby, the pregnant woman must receive good nutrition from the beginning of pregnancy and manage her weight during pregnancy。
2. Hazards of malnutrition during pregnancy
The nutritional requirements during pregnancy must be higher than for non-pregnancy. Undernutrition during pregnancy directly affects the physical and intellectual development of the foetus, such as premature birth and low birth weight. Neural tube malformations due to lack of folic acid in the early stages of pregnancy, and resulting neonatal mortality. Intrauterine stunting due to malnutrition during pregnancy is associated with many chronic adult diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, haemograb metabolic abnormalities and sugar metabolic abnormalities. Malnutrition during pregnancy, such as anaemia, low protein haemorrhage and calcium deficiency, increases the risk of hypertension during pregnancy。
3 - hazards of excess nutrition during pregnancy
Overnutrition during pregnancy leads to an acceleration of the growth and development of the foetus, a high incidence of children and a high risk of birth injuries, such as fractures, nervous acceleration and muscle damage. Large children are vulnerable to combinations of low blood sugar, low calcium and red cell amplification. Over-ingestion of certain amino acids, leading to uneven nutrition, can limit foetal growth, malformations and mental disorders. Overdose of vitamins can cause harm to the health of the foetus. Particularly in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, the high incidence of vitamin c among pregnant women leads to miscarriages; the high prevalence of vitamin a can lead to multiple malformations in infants; and the prevalence of vitamin e can cause abnormal development in the foetus's brain。
