For any mother who loves beauty, the most serious thing for them to feel uneasy during pregnancy is their own weight. Diet is about the health and safety of two people. Only when you eat well, the fetus can keep up. It is an illusion to control your weight and keep your body. However, some people say that eating less staple food during pregnancy, eating more fruit will not gain weight, but is this statement true?
1. The mystery of fruit making people fat
Many people think that eating more fruits will not gain weight because the fruits are free of fat and carbohydrates and other substances that are easy to get fat, and the fruits are rich in vitamins and cellulose, which is very beneficial to people's health. What these people don't know is that eating more fruits does have a significant effect on vitamin supplementation and cellulose, but if a large amount of fructose is consumed daily, it will also cause people to gain weight.
After the fructose in the fruit is absorbed into the intestine, it is transformed by the metabolism of the liver, and finally becomes glucose, fat, and glycogen. Mothers do not eat staple food every day, but the intake of a large amount of fruit is undoubtedly equivalent to a large amount of fructose into the body when excess fructose can not be fully consumed by the body, it will be converted into fat stored in the human body.
If the expectant mother maintains such a diet during pregnancy, it is likely to lead to excessive weight and pregnancy, and the incidence of babies becoming huge children is extremely high.
2. Can you eat fruit well during pregnancy?
Generally, it is better to eat no more than 200-400 grams of fruit per day during pregnancy, which means that the amount of fruit eaten by the expectant mother is about the same as the amount of two apples. If you eat too much, the excess sugar will not be absorbed by the body, it will be converted into fat and stored; if you eat less, it may cause an imbalance of nutrition during pregnancy, so it is the key to grasp the amount.
The second is to eat fruits in pregnancy to try to choose fruits with less sugar content.
The total sugar content of watermelon, strawberry, alfalfa, and carambola is about 4%~7% of the whole fruit; grape, pineapple, cherry and orange, the total sugar content of these fruits can account for 8% of the whole fruit~ 10%; the total amount of sugar in dragon fruit, mango, banana, fig, pear, and orange can reach 11%~20%; the total sugar content of fresh jujube, cantaloupe, sugar cane, and bayberry is more than 20%.
Finally, you need to remind the expectant mothers that the fruit that is not too sweet to eat is low in sugar. There are many fruits, although not so sweet, the sugar is very high. It is not scientific to choose the type of fruit according to the sweetness of the fruit. Also, try not to squeeze the fruit into juice for consumption during pregnancy, because the sugar content of the juice is higher!
