During the Chinese New Year, there is a lot of meat and fish. How can pregnant mothers eat healthily?

During the Chinese New Year, the table full of delicious food is mouth-watering, but for pregnant mothers, the key is how to enjoy the delicious food without affecting health and fetal development! The following are some practical dietary suggestions to help pregnant mothers have a healthy and safe New Year~

How to eat big fish and meat?

Less oil and less salt:

Chinese New Year dishes are usually heavily seasoned, so it is recommended to give priority to steaming, blanching and other cooking methods that use less oil and salt to reduce the burden on the kidneys.

Prioritize high-quality protein:

Fish and lean meat are good sources of protein and help the development of the fetus, but try to eat less fried meat or meat with too much sauce.

Nutritional balance is important!

Add some more vegetables:

Vegetables rich in lutein, such as spinach, cabbage, and broccoli, can effectively neutralize free radicals and reduce the oxidative stress caused by eating too much fish and meat.

Appropriate staple food:

Don’t forget carbohydrates such as rice and whole-wheat bread, which provide stable energy and prevent excessive fluctuations in blood sugar.

Special reminder for pregnant mothers:

Control the portion: It is a good thing to eat a lot during the Chinese New Year, but pregnant mothers should not eat too much at one time. Eating small meals frequently is healthier!

Avoid dangerous foods: Raw fish, undercooked eggs or pickled foods are best avoided to prevent infection or excessive salt intake.

Drink more water: Water is easily overlooked during the Chinese New Year. Remember to drink more water to help metabolism and digestion.

Tips for keeping healthy during Chinese New Year:

If you want to relieve your greasy feeling, you might want to eat some fruit as a snack after the meal! Citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C and can promote iron absorption, which is very beneficial to pregnant mothers and babies.

Summary:

In order to enjoy your meals during the Chinese New Year, you must also eat healthily. By controlling the portion size, choosing the right ingredients, and adding some health tips suitable for expectant mothers, you and your baby can have a healthy Chinese New Year!

I wish all pregnant mothers a happy new year and good health to both mother and child!
