Pregnant women are prone to feeling hungry due to insufficient nutritional intake during pregnancy. After pregnancy, metabolism accelerates and the emptying rate of the stomach also becomes very fast. If not enough is eaten, the body's heat will increase accordingly. If a pregnant woman feels hungry, she can eat food appropriately, but what kind of late night snack is suitable for her if she gets hungry at night?
Pregnant women can eat supper when they feel hungry, but after finishing supper, they cannot immediately lie in bed to rest or sleep. Because this can lead to slower gastrointestinal activity, food can easily turn into fat, causing obesity in pregnant women and affecting childbirth. When choosing night snack, try to avoid fried food. The fat content of fried food is too high, which is easy to cause pregnant women to become serious with diabetes during pregnancy, and it is also easy to get fat and affect normal labor.
Sugar containing beverages and high calorie foods should also be consumed in moderation. Excessive calorie intake can also lead to obesity in pregnant women and affect normal childbirth.
If pregnant women want to eat snacks, they can choose low-fat milk, or fruits and vegetables, but the amount of fruit must be controlled. Too much fruit will lead to the increase of sugar in the body, which is easy to cause diabetes in pregnancy.
Nut based foods can also be consumed and have been shown to have a good effect in preventing allergies, which is very beneficial for pregnant women.
For pregnant women who are prone to hunger, it is recommended to divide three meals a day into six meals, which can effectively prevent weight gain.
