Let the passion and irrepressible desire to eat sweets during pregnancy be classified as a passing and capricious taste preferences, it is very dangerous to go about this particular feature.
Both are more expensive
While Mom enjoys melting delicacy, its surpluses and active ingredients are gradually absorbed through the placenta and affect the baby's condition. It is noticed that excessive consumption of sugar, whether industrial products, homemade jam, sweet pastries, hot drinks or ordinary raffine worsen a woman's condition within an hour after adoption.
Of course, you can not do without a sweet treat and its useful carbohydrates. It is these elements that provide the energy and emotional lifting of the body systems. What if the love for sweets turned into addiction, and the sense of proportion has long been lost? Need to sound the alarm!
Know, excess sugar will affect your beauty even after the birth of the child.
• Sugar irreversibly thinens tooth enamel and accelerates the processes of destruction, which during pregnancy and recovery after childbirth is already a vulnerable link.
• Excess carbohydrates are reflected in rapid weight gain and problematic return to
comfortable state. In the period of waiting for the child, excess weight can provoke negative consequences, up to the prescribed by the doctor hospitalization.
• Thrush is a frequent companion of sweet tooth. It is sugar that provokes the activity of fungi of the genus Candida, which every person has. Treatment of urogenital candidiasis in pregnant women is a cautious, long and obligatory process. If thrush is not treated to the end, then during childbirth this disease will become exposed to the external and internal organs of the child. In addition, these women give birth in the infectious ward of maternity hospitals.
• Abundant consumption of sweet flour products causes the pancreas to work with double force. From here there are problems with an intestine, pains in a stomach, the raised or increased gas formation.
• Insulin also reacts to sugar and leads to complications in diabetes, neoplasms and blood problems.
• Excess carbohydrates are deposited on adipose tissue, increase the weight of the baby, which can become a problem in childbirth and during recovery.
• Allergic reactions that have worsened in recent years in children of the first year of life are largely the result of excess carbohydrates during pregnancy of the mother of the baby.
Children's doctors also lead their arguments against sugar. Together with fellow psychologists, they come to disappointing conclusions: a significant strain on the body and nervous overexcitation, activity, inadequate evaluation of their strength by mothers because of the "hormone of joy" seriously affects the nervous system of the fetus. In consequence it will result in the diagnosis of a hyperactive child.
Clever sugar
In the search for an optimal solution between the needs of the body and his health, many sweet lovers turn to his substitutes. This option is possible, but not in a state of pregnancy. First, such sweeteners require a certain dose, and can be addictive. Secondly, they have a number of ingredients that lead to allergies, diarrhea, stomach pain and even choleretic exacerbations.
The most reliable and affordable way, which will eventually change habits and raise the whole family to a new level of eating, are offered by nutritionists. It is important not only to remember the harmfulness of excessive consumption of sugar and to monitor the amount of the sweet product eaten, but also to know what it is made of. Of course, homemade cakes and cooking are beyond competition. Moreover, on maternity leave to care for a child, many moms can afford to hone or enhance their talents.
• Choose or make recipes based on honey and sweet dried fruits;
• Make the maximum use of natural sugar in the preparation of sweet dishes - fructose and lactulose, which are rich in fruits.
• Actively introduce sweet "deceptions" into the diet of the whole family and the young children: marmalade (removes toxic substances and elements of heavy metals from the body, but also contributes to the natural cleansing of the body), dried fruits (rich in fiber and vitamins useful for the heart and GIT), marshmallows (not as sweet as chocolate, and rich in protein and phosphorus). Not all of them are equally harmless, but in comparison with other products - it is preferable.
During pregnancy, it is better to use complex carbohydrates, which actively saturate the body with strength and are consumed for a long time. Interestingly, the norm of carbohydrates in the first trimester should not exceed 450 grams per day, and in the second - 350. To do this, it is enough to eat corn, bananas and citrus. Also indispensable for dessert are juices - apple, tomato, pineapple and plum, several pieces of dark chocolate, rich in provitamin A, iron and magnesium or various candied fruits.
But nothing helps to keep the body and mind in tone, like self-control and self-control. They help to define and follow the sense of proportion. Then a piece of chocolate, and glaze cake, and puff pastry will only benefit!
It is important to know
Forewarned is forearmed. Do not risk the health of your family. The question of the harmful use of excessive sugar can never be neglected.
• The liquorice and liquorice candies favored in the West block the flow of natural mother hormones through the placenta to the baby. This affects the formation of brain areas.
• Excess of sugar leads to infertility in both partners and threatens with miscarriages.
• Do not replace the passion for sweets - another, for example, salty or citrus. Sooner or later the former hobby will return, but already in a double size.
• If the passion for sweets is very strong, then you must go to the doctor and take the tests. Perhaps this is the reason for the lack of vitamins, so the body tries to fill them and gives you signals.
• Reasons for joy and a gentle attitude during pregnancy contribute to the production of a hormone of joy even better than chocolate. Remember this!
