Because milk is rich in nutrients and reasonable, it is not only the first choice for everyone to supplement nutrition in daily life, but also an indispensable nutritional intake for expectant mothers during pregnancy.
With the continuous improvement of living standards, everyone pays more attention to the nutrition intake of expectant mothers during pregnancy. After pregnancy, expectant mothers will drink milk to meet their nutritional needs for the growth and development of the baby in their womb.
Benefits of drinking milk
Milk contains high-quality protein and has the highest absorption rate of any other food. It is not only significantly higher than that of fish, shrimp, poultry, meat, etc., but also much higher than the absorption rate of plant proteins such as beans, cereals, and wheat.
Milk is also the most easily absorbed high-quality protein by babies, and the same protein quality, due to the high absorption rate, is relatively light on the metabolic burden on the kidneys.
And milk contains some sedative-hypnotic substances, and the calcium in milk can also clear tension. So, drinking milk helps with sleep. Expectant mothers who don't sleep well during pregnancy can drink a glass of milk at night to help them sleep.
Not only that, milk contains a lot of calcium, vitamin D and lactose, and if it can be combined with vitamin K and potassium and magnesium, it can improve the utilization rate of calcium more effectively.
But what many expectant mothers don't know is that although milk is good, these types of mothers should not drink more. Drinking too much will cause damage to your body, so let's follow Ya Ya Mom to find out!
Expectant mothers with iron deficiency anemia
Most expectant mothers are prone to anemia during pregnancy, because the baby in the womb needs to absorb nutrients with the expectant mother during growth and development, so it is easy to cause anemia.
For expectant mothers who are already anemic, don't drink milk at this time. This is because the calcium in milk reacts with the iron in the body and combines into a substance that is not easily digested.
The result of this situation is that on the one hand, it is not good for digestion, and on the other hand, it reduces the absorption of iron, which makes the already anemic mothers-to-be more severe.
Expectant mothers with reflux esophagitis
Studies have shown that milk containing fat can affect the contraction of the lower esophageal sphincter in the human body, which means that it will exacerbate the reflux of gastric or intestinal juice.
This is very dangerous for expectant mothers with esophagitis and can aggravate the condition.
Expectant mothers who are deficient in lactobionic acid
All milk contains sugars, which need to be broken down by lactobionic acid in the digestive tract before they can be absorbed by the body.
If the expectant mother lacks lactobionic acid in her body, it is not appropriate to drink milk. Because it is easy to have abdominal pain and diarrhea after drinking milk, it is still necessary to pay attention.
Expectant mothers with cholecystitis and pancreatitis
The digestion of fat in milk requires the participation of bile and pancreatic lipase, and the drinking of milk by expectant mothers will increase the burden on the gallbladder and pancreas, which in turn will aggravate the condition.
Therefore, Ya Ya's mother reminds expectant mothers with the above problems not to drink milk and must stay away.
Expectant mothers with peptic ulcers
Although milk can relieve the irritation of gastric acid on the ulcer surface, it can stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa to secrete a large amount of gastric acid, which will make the condition worse.
Therefore, expectant mothers with peptic ulcers try not to drink milk.
What other dairy products are suitable for expectant mothers?
Yogurt
For expectant mothers who are lactose intolerant, milk is not drinkable, but yogurt is very suitable.
Because yogurt contains lactic acid bacteria, it is easy to digest and has a great effect on constipation during pregnancy.
Cheese
Cheese is a great dairy product that reduces whey protein and contains a lot of calcium.
Expectant mothers can pair cheese with bread and pizza, which is delicious and nutritious.
Ya Ya Ma recommends that those expectant mothers who are in good health during pregnancy should also drink milk in moderation during pregnancy. It is best to supplement yourself with nutrition reasonably and scientifically under the advice of a doctor.
