Nowadays, most people carry out pregnancy preparation work before pregnancy to ensure that the next generation can be born healthier. But often, despite being well prepared, one accidentally falls into a misunderstanding. So, what can't be done during pregnancy preparation?
Misunderstanding of Women's Diet
Spicy food can stimulate one's appetite and make one's appetite soar. But if consumed excessively, it can cause stomach discomfort, indigestion, constipation, hemorrhoids, and other discomfort, greatly reducing her health. Moreover, as the fetus grows after pregnancy, its digestive function and bowel movements are already affected. If you still enjoy spicy food during pregnancy preparation, it will not only affect the absorption of nutrients, but also worsen symptoms such as constipation and hemorrhoids. So it is recommended to start avoiding eating 3 to 6 months before pregnancy.
Excessive consumption of high sugar foods
Frequent consumption of foods with high sugar content will cause disorder of sugar metabolism in the body, which is likely to become a potential diabetes patient. If this habit is maintained until after pregnancy, it becomes even more dangerous. It is easy to have diabetes during pregnancy, which will not only affect your children, but also be very bad for yourself.
Avoid food contamination
Throughout the entire process of producing food from its raw materials until consumption, there are many necessary steps that may lead to varying degrees of contamination and harm to human health. Fresh and natural foods should be chosen as much as possible, and foods containing additives, pigments, and preservatives should be avoided; Vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned, and fruits should be peeled before consumption to avoid pesticide contamination; Try to use iron pots or stainless steel cookware as much as possible, and avoid using aluminum and colored enamel products to prevent aluminum and lead elements from damaging the wife's health.
Misunderstandings of Men's Diet
Usually, doctors advise wives to start supplementing with folic acid before pregnancy to avoid chromosomal breakage and deformities. Actually, for you who are preparing to become a father, folic acid is equally important. In addition, it is also recommended that you consume more foods with high vitamin content, mainly fresh fruits and vegetables, to improve the survival rate of sperm.
Foods rich in folic acid include animal liver, red amaranth, spinach, lettuce, asparagus, asparagus, beans, apples, oranges, and orange juice.
High quality protein
Protein is an important component of our body's cells and is essential for generating sperm. So in daily life, it is necessary to consume enough protein to improve the quality and quantity of sperm. This kind of food includes salmon, oysters, deep-sea fish and shrimp and other seafood. They are not only less polluted, but also contain nutrients such as DHA that promote brain development. In addition, various lean meats, animal livers, dairy products, eggs, etc. are also good choices.
The above are some misconceptions that may arise during pregnancy preparation. Expectant parents who are preparing for pregnancy must pay more attention to avoid accidents.
