【孕期健康】進補要看個人體質需要！
孕間進補也要看體質
大肚媽媽：「懷孕期間長輩們都叫我多吃一點，又常常給我燉雞汁、人參等補品，說BB會發育得更好，但我吃了口乾又喉嚨痛，該怎麼辦？」
CheckCheckCin：女作息正常，定時用餐、進食清淡有營養的食物，媽媽已有足夠營養供給胎兒，多餘的營養會轉化為媽媽們最討厭的脂肪呀！進食補品還是要按孕媽媽個人體質而定，假如孕媽媽本身屬氣虛或痰濕體質，吃太多補品反而導致消化不良，她需要的是健脾胃。如果孕媽媽體力較差，可適量進食黨參淮山粥進補。孕媽媽身體壯健的話都不需要進補，如體質偏熱，進補反而令心情更煩躁，甚至導致便秘、口瘡，更會把「溫熱」傳給胎兒，形成胎毒。進補前宜先諮詢醫師意見，按個人體質用藥，以達最佳效果。
Have Tonic Food During Pregnancy Based on Body Type
The elderlies keep telling me to eat more when pregnant, and they make me tonic foods like chicken essence and ginseng claiming they are good for the baby. But I get a dry mouth and sore throat after, what can I do?
CheckCheckCin: Expecting moms just need to simply have a healthy lifestyle, eat regularly, and have light nutritious meals to ensure there is enough nutrient for the baby. Over eating just becomes fat for expecting moms! When it comes to tonic foods, it should be consumed based on body constitution. If the expecting mom has qi deficiency or phlegm and dampness body type, having too much tonic food can lead to indigestion, and she really just needs to strengthen the spleen and stomach. If the expecting mom is weak, then some congee with Chinese yam and codonopsis root would be suitable. Healthy and strong expecting moms don’t need to have tonic food, and if their body type is leans towards being hot, then tonic food can lead to irritability, or even constipation, canker sores, and pass on the ‘heat’ to the baby. You should consult a Chinese medicine practitioner before consuming tonic foods and use medicinal herb according to professional recommendation for best results.
