What vegetables should pregnant women eat for the benefit of the fetus?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women's uteruses and breast tissues require a large amount of protein, so pregnant women should consume more protein-rich foods such as eggs, lean meat, fish, and soy products. Sugars are primarily used to provide energy. Pregnant women have enhanced metabolism and high energy consumption, so foods high in sugar, such as rice and white flour, should be increased accordingly. Pregnant women do not consume a lot of fat, so it is important not to eat too much fat to prevent obesity and additional burdens. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, especially high-fiber foods like celery and cabbage, which help prevent constipation.
The development of the fetus's bones, nervous system, and hematopoietic organs requires a large amount of iron, phosphorus, calcium, and various vitamins, so it is important to supplement these nutrients during pregnancy. In addition to consuming more animal liver, beans, spinach, shellfish, and dairy products in the diet, it is advisable to take appropriate amounts of iron supplements, calcium tablets, and vitamins A, B, C, and D to prevent anemia and calcium deficiency.
