Patient's question:
Now I am more than one month pregnant, and I always have a lot of saliva. What should I do? Especially after eating an apple, it gets even more. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Hello:It is related to your weaker spleen and stomach. I suggest you pay attention to the following diet.
The rational intake of nutrients during pregnancy is directly related to the health of the pregnant woman and the normal development of the fetus. Pregnant women not only need to maintain their own nutritional needs but also ensure the increasing nutritional supply for the fetus. Therefore, they require more calories and various nutrients.
In recent years, with the development of China's economy, various side foods and nutritional products have greatly enriched the market. The growing awareness of eugenics has also enhanced people's emphasis on nutrition. Additionally, the influence of Western dietary culture has led to significant changes in the dietary structure of the Chinese population. According to some statistical data, the dietary nutrition of pregnant women is generally sufficient, but the key is how to eat more rationally.
According to surveys on the dietary habits of pregnant women in some cities conducted by Chinese scientists in recent years, most pregnant women consume low-fat foods such as lean meat, chicken, and river fish, while the proportion of staple foods (carbohydrates) is relatively low. Some nutrients, such as calcium and iron, are at low intake levels during the early, middle, and late stages of pregnancy. These nutrients are abundant in dairy products, meat products, soy products, and green leafy vegetables. Currently, some pregnant women do not consume enough of these foods, which is due to their insufficient understanding of the varying nutritional needs at different stages of pregnancy. So, what constitutes a rational dietary structure for pregnant women?
(1) Early pregnancy: During this period, pregnant women often experience "early pregnancy symptoms," such as reduced appetite and vomiting. The embryo's development is relatively slow, so the pregnant woman's need for energy, protein, inorganic salts, and other nutrients increases.
