The high-fiber diet during pregnancy is good for maternal and child health
A new Australian study says that women who eat more fiber-rich foods during pregnancy may be good for maternal and child health, reducing the risk of pre-eclampsia in pregnant women and promoting the development of the fetal immune system.
researchers at the University of Sydney and others report in the new issue of the British journal Nature Communications that fiber in food breaks down by bacteria in the intestines, producing short-chain fatty acids, including acetic acid, while pregnant women are at greater risk of pre-eclampsia if their levels are low.
pregnant women with pre-eclampsia, it is not conducive to fetal immune system development. Ralph Nanan, a professor at the University of Sydney, says pregnant women with pre-eclampsia have much smaller thymus than those in healthy pregnant women, and the number of T-cells in the body is lower than normal four years after the birth of a child. If the body lacks T cells, such as immune cells, the risk of allergies, diabetes and other diseases will increase.
nan suggested that women should try to eat as many vegetables and other fiber-rich foods during pregnancy, "including vegetables, fruits, nuts and other natural foods, do not eat too many processed foods, Chinese food is actually good."
