Pregnant women should pay attention to the following points when cooking by themselves:
1. Selection of ingredients: Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients and try to avoid raw or undercooked food to reduce the risk of bacteria and parasites in food. Make sure vegetables and fruits are washed and meat and seafood are cooked to the right temperature.
2. Balanced nutrition: reasonably mix all kinds of foods to ensure adequate intake of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. Increase the intake of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and protein sources (such as fish, poultry and beans).
3. Avoid food poisoning: Avoid high-risk foods, such as expired food, undercooked meat, eggs and seafood, and unprocessed fresh cheese. At the same time, pay attention to washing hands before and after meals and keep the kitchen clean.
4. Control food safety: avoid eating foods containing too many additives, preservatives and artificial colors. Try to choose homemade food to better control the quality and safety of food.
5. Pay attention to eating habits: avoid overeating and excessive hunger and maintain a proper diet. Eating separately helps to control food intake and avoid overeating.
6. Avoid food allergies: If you have a history of food allergies or family allergies, you should avoid touching foods that may cause allergies, such as peanuts, nuts and fish. If you have allergic reaction, you should seek medical advice promptly.
7. Safety of drinking water: To ensure the safety of drinking water sources, it is best to choose boiled water or bottled water. Avoid drinking unfiltered or disinfected water.
