Due to the opening of the two child policy and the prevalence of late marriage and childbirth, elderly mothers have become a relatively common population. Although the development of medical technology is relatively good and can help mothers give birth smoothly to a certain extent, elderly mothers still need to pay attention to some issues. For example, what should elderly mothers avoid eating?
1. Eat less sugar. Older mothers should eat less or not eat foods with high sugar content during pregnancy, because their metabolic capacity has declined a lot because their bodies are not in their prime of youth. If they eat too much sugar, they are likely to suffer from pregnancy diabetes, which has a great impact on the development of Baobao, and may even lead to malformations.
2. Eat less greasy food. Due to their physical condition, elderly mothers have relatively low hormone levels and metabolic functions. If they eat too much greasy food, it may affect the stability of hormone levels in the body. In addition, problems such as pregnancy obesity, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia are also more likely to occur. Therefore, it is advisable to eat more nutritious and light tasting foods during pregnancy.
For the sake of their own health and the safety of their babies, elderly mothers should not eat too much sugary food and greasy food after pregnancy, so as to avoid problems such as pregnancy diabetes and hyperlipidemia, which will not only damage their own bodies, but also affect the normal development of their babies. Older mothers should pay attention to maintaining balanced nutrition and obtaining sufficient nutrients during pregnancy.
