Although people's living standards have improved and they can basically eat whatever they want, pregnant women still belong to a special group. For the baby's health, expectant mothers should pay attention to their daily diet. If they can eat at home, they should try not to order takeout.
First, why is it best not to order takeout often during pregnancy? 1. There may be food safety problems that threaten the health of the fetus. Although the take-away food is more delicious than the home food, there are also many security risks, such as:
① Unsafe disposable packaging: Many businesses will use cheaper foam boxes or plastic boxes for packaging in order to make profits, but they don't know that these packages are likely to emit harmful chemicals and threaten the health of the fetus.
2 It is difficult to guarantee the freshness of ingredients: Generally, the takeout we see looks very clean, but in fact, many businesses will choose some ingredients without fresh guarantee in order to make more money. In addition, in order to save time, some merchants may prepare ingredients long in advance.
3 The sanitary conditions are worrying: At present, some take-away platforms rarely review the business licenses of merchants, so there are many mixed "black workshops".
Not to mention how much nutrition take-away can provide to pregnant women, even its health problems are enough to harm pregnant women's bodies (even fetuses).
2, take-away meals are not balanced, which often leads to malnutrition in pregnant women. Many pregnant women order take-out, basically choose what they like to eat, and rarely eat other foods, so the food is single in nutrition, which will easily lead to malnutrition in the long run, and the development of the fetus needs comprehensive nutrition. If pregnant women do not have good supplementary nutrition, the fetus is likely to be abnormal.
In addition, in order to pursue speed, some businesses may cook or repeatedly process ingredients on the fire, which will also lead to the loss of a lot of nutrients and vitamins in food. From this perspective, pregnant women often order takeout, which is really not conducive to the baby's development.
3. Too much seasoning and too much calories will increase the burden of pregnant women (even lead to obesity). Compared with the "tasteless" meals cooked by mother-in-law, many take-away foods add a lot of seasonings (the quality of these seasonings may also be risky, which will increase the burden on the stomach and liver of pregnant women), and the oil consumption is much higher than that at home (too much calories will make pregnant women fatter and fatter).
Second, what problems should pregnant women pay attention to when ordering takeout? Of course, although it is not good to order takeout often, it is inevitable that pregnant women will be inconvenient. In fact, it is not a big problem to eat takeout occasionally, just need to pay attention to a few points.
? Try to choose a light takeaway: expectant mothers should not eat too spicy food during pregnancy, and there should be less fried, fried and oily food. After all, this kind of food has low nutritional value and is easy to get fat.
? Variety of dishes: If pregnant women want to order takeout, it is best not to eat one at a time. Diversification of food types and combination of meat and vegetables can make nutrition more abundant (comprehensive nutrition is more conducive to the baby's development).
? Choose merchants with good reputation and regular physical stores: In order to ensure that the take-away food is as clean and hygienic as possible, pregnant mothers should look at merchants with good reviews and large orders. In addition, businesses with regular physical stores can also consider more.
Generally speaking, it is best for expectant mothers not to order takeout often during pregnancy. If you think the meal cooked by your mother-in-law is tasteless, the expectant mother can also suggest it to her. In fact, a light diet during pregnancy is more conducive to the health of expectant mothers and fetuses.
