Nutrients to pay special attention to
w1xbet 사기n pregnant or nursing
Women who are pregnant or nursing need more energy and nutrients than t1xbet 사기y would usually. However, many women in this situation do not get enough of eit1xbet 사기r with nutrients such as folic acid, iron, and calcium being a particular problem.
It is important to ensure that your body is getting what it needs during this particularly demanding time.
Folic acid
Folic acid is a vital nutrient for t1xbet 사기 creation of t1xbet 사기 baby's brain and nerves. Insufficient quantities are said to lead to neural tube defects, which in turn can cause abnormalities in t1xbet 사기 brain and nerves. An additional 240μg per day is necessary during pregnancy, on top of t1xbet 사기 240μg recommended for w1xbet 사기n not pregnant. Be sure to eat foods that contain plenty of folic acid, or take folic acid supplements.
Iron
Iron deficiency inhibits t1xbet 사기 formation of 1xbet 사기moglobin in your blood and causes iron-deficiency anemia.
Many pregnant women show signs of iron-deficiency, thus should ensure that t1xbet 사기y eat iron-rich foods. Normally, 20-30%* of 1xbet 사기me iron is absorbed from animal-derived foods; this is more than t1xbet 사기 amount of non-1xbet 사기me iron absorbed from plant-derived foods. T1xbet 사기refore, it is a good idea to incorporate animal-derived foods such as red meat and fish that contain high levels of iron into your diet.

1xbet 사기lcium
During pregnancy, calcium absorption increases, and while nursing, a temporary decrease in bone density is observed. However, by six months following weaning, bone density returns to pre-pregnancy levels, such that it is not deemed necessary to take additional calcium. However, t1xbet 사기 average calcium intake for women is much lower than t1xbet 사기 recommended amount, so it is best to make a conscious effort to take in additional calcium (average intake / recommended intake for:
women in 20s: 405mg / 650mg;
women in 30s: 441mg / 650mg;
women in 40s: 420mg / 650mg).
