The diet of pregnant women mainly consists of light, easily digestible, and high protein foods. Dairy products are an important source of protein, vitamins, and calcium. Dairy products are very important for infants because their growth requires sufficient fat and energy. For pregnant women, dairy products also need to be consumed in moderation. So is it better for pregnant women to eat dairy tablets or cheese?
As a solid food, milk tablets have a much lower digestion and absorption rate of calcium in the human body compared to milk. Milk tablets can supplement calcium, but they are not the main means of calcium supplementation, but as snacks, they have a certain auxiliary calcium supplementation effect. Moreover, most of the milk tablets on the market currently contain a large amount of food additives, and consuming them in large quantities is not entirely beneficial to human health. Milk tablets are a type of snack with certain nutritional value, but should not be consumed excessively.
Cheese is rich in nutrients such as protein, calcium, and vitamins, and is known as the "milk gold". Compared with milk, cheese has higher nutritional content in all aspects. Cheese is the dairy product with the highest calcium content, and the calcium in cheese is easily absorbed by the human body. Lactic acid bacteria in cheese are beneficial for maintaining the stability and balance of normal gut microbiota, preventing and treating constipation and diarrhea.
It can be seen that pregnant women eat cheese better. After being absorbed by the fetus, cheese contains an amino acid that helps with brain development. The rich calcium in cheese also contributes to bone development, while dairy tablets are just a nutritious snack.
