How to keep a balanced diet after IVF
IVF refers to an assisted reproductive technology that transfers embryos into the mother's uterus through in vitro fertilization. It is a hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally. After success, IVF babies need to pay special attention to diet to maintain health and promote embryonic development. This article will elaborate on how to maintain a balanced diet after IVF from four aspects: the diet structure of expectant mothers, important nutrients, diet taboos and reasonable diet arrangement.
The diet structure of expectant mothers
After IVF, expectant mothers should have a reasonable diet to meet their nutritional needs. First of all, carbohydrates are an important source of energy. Mothers to be should take an appropriate amount of rice, bread, potatoes and other carbohydrate foods. Secondly, protein is particularly important for embryonic development. You can choose fish, lean meat, bean products and other protein rich foods. In addition, fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, and expectant mothers should take in a variety of fruits and vegetables every day to enhance immunity and protect embryonic health.
Expectant mothers also need to ensure proper fat intake. Choose foods rich in healthy fats, such as olive oil and peanut oil, and avoid excessive intake of saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids. In addition, expectant mothers should also pay attention to increasing fiber intake, which can be achieved by eating whole grains, beans, nuts, etc.
In conclusion, the diet structure of expectant mothers should be reasonably matched with carbohydrates, proteins, vegetables, fruits, fats and cellulose to meet the needs of various nutrients in the body.
Important nutrients
After IVF, expectant mothers need to pay special attention to the intake of the following important nutrients.
First is folic acid. Adequate folate intake is essential for embryonic neural tube development. Expectant mothers can supplement it by eating foods rich in folic acid, such as spinach and cauliflower. In addition, you can take folic acid supplements under the guidance of your doctor.
The second is calcium and iron. Calcium is essential for fetal bone development and maternal bone health. Iron is the key component of synthetic hemoglobin, which can prevent anemia. Therefore, expectant mothers can supplement by eating dairy products, surimi, eggs, beans and other foods rich in calcium and iron.
In addition, expectant mothers also need to take enough vitamin D, vitamin C and Omega-3 fatty acids to promote embryonic development and protect health.
Food taboos
After IVF, expectant mothers need to avoid some unsuitable food. First, raw meat, fish and eggs. These foods may carry bacteria, parasites or viruses, which are potentially dangerous to embryonic development. Next are caffeine and alcohol. Caffeine may affect the growth and development of the fetus, while alcohol may cause abnormal fetal development.
In addition, expectant mothers should also avoid eating foods that are high in salt, sugar and fat, as well as excessive consumption of soft drinks and foods containing artificial additives. These foods may increase the risk of pregnancy complications, which is adverse to embryonic health.
Reasonable diet arrangement
After IVF, expectant mothers need to make reasonable dietary arrangements according to the doctor's advice. The regular reasonable diet arrangement includes: eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, reducing excessive fat and high calorie foods; Eat separately, eat less and more meals, and maintain the regularity of eating time; Reasonably supplement nutrients according to individual differences, gestational weeks and fetal conditions.
To sum up, the diet of IVF babies needs to be balanced. Prospective mothers should reasonably match their diet structure, take important nutrients, avoid taboo foods, and follow the doctor's advice to make reasonable dietary arrangements. Reasonable diet plays an important role in keeping expectant mothers healthy and promoting embryonic development.
Summary
In order to maintain a balanced diet after IVF, attention should be paid to the diet structure, important nutrients, diet taboos and reasonable diet arrangement of expectant mothers.
The diet structure of expectant mothers should be reasonably matched with carbohydrate, protein, vegetables and fruits, fat and cellulose to meet the needs of various nutrients in the body.
Important nutrients include folic acid, calcium, iron, vitamin D, vitamin C and Omega-3 fatty acids. Prospective mothers need to pay attention to getting enough of these nutrients.
Food taboos include raw meat, raw fish, raw eggs, caffeine and alcohol, as well as foods with high salt, sugar and fat. Mothers to be should avoid them.
The reasonable diet arrangement includes eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, eating separately, and reasonably supplementing nutrients, which can be formulated according to the doctor's suggestions.
Through the attention and implementation of the above aspects, the diet of IVF can maintain a balance, which is conducive to the health of expectant mothers and the healthy development of embryos.
