Benefits of protein for pregnant women

BÍCH NGỌC (theo the health site) |

During pregnancy, in addition to supplementing minerals and nutrients, pregnant women need to supplement enough protein to ensure the health of mother and baby.

Supporting the growth and development of the fetus

The journey of pregnancy brings significant physical and emotional changes. Protein during this phase helps promote the development of muscles, bones and organs in the baby's womb.

Breast tissue development and milk production

Protein is an essential requirement for the production of prolactin, which is necessary to help breast tissue develop and produce breast milk. Therefore, during pregnancy and after giving birth, women need to supplement their bodies with protein.

Supports energy levels and muscle function

Protein helps manage energy levels, stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce fatigue. It also supports muscle strength, which is important for mothers to have more health during pregnancy.

Maintaining the mother's tissue and fluid balance

As pregnancy progresses, blood volume, tissue mass and retained fluid increase. Protein plays a role in maintaining fluid balance, strengthening maternal tissues and reducing fluid retention.

Some protein-rich foods are good for pregnancy

Red meats such as beef, pork and chicken contain high-quality protein, rich in iron, choline and vitamin B.

Supplementing grains can help pregnant women meet their increased calorie needs, rich in vitamin B, fiber and magnesium.

For those who prefer vegan or vegetarian food sources, combine plant protein sources such as quinoa, lentils, chickpeas and soy.

To effectively supplement nutrients for mother and baby, pregnant women should consult doctors and specialists to ensure a safe pregnancy.
