Question
I’m six months pregnant and I don’t know what to eat every day, and I also don’t feel hungry? What should I eat during the early stages of pregnancy?
Answer
During the early stages of pregnancy, it is advisable to increase the intake of legume proteins, such as tofu and soy milk; consume more seafood like kelp and nori; animal organs and nuts are also good choices. Additionally, pay attention to controlling salt and water intake to avoid edema and preeclampsia. It is recommended to choose foods with small volume but high nutritional value, such as animal products, and reduce the intake of foods with low nutritional value but large volume, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes. For high-energy sweets like sugar and honey, it is best to eat less to prevent appetite reduction and affect the intake of other nutrients.
