ASID FOLIK DAN KEHAMILAN



Mengapa asid folik diperlukan
  • Apakah asid folik?
  • Kenapakah saya perlukan asid folik?
  • Berapakah jumlah asid folik yang saya perlukan?
  • Apakah sumber makanan yang terbaik?

Apakah asid folik?
Asid folk adalah salah satu vitamin kumpulan B. Ia wujud secara semulajadi sebagai folat dalam kekacang, sayuran hijau, beberapa buah, dan juga yis and ekstrak daging lembu.
Kenapakah saya perlukan asid folik?
Asid folik menolong mencegah kecacatan tiub saraf seperti spina bifida. Spina bifida terjadi apabila pelindung yang menutupi korda spina bayi tidak menutup dengan sempurna. Ini boleh menyebabkan kerosakan saraf kekal.

Pada 12 minggu yang pertama dalam kehamilan anda, otak dan sistem saraf bayi anda sedang membentuk dan berkembang pesat. Oleh sebab itu, adalah sangat penting untuk mengambil folik asid setiap hari pada masa itu.

Dalam trimester kedua, iaitu dari minggu ke-13 kehamilan anda, anda boleh menghentikan asid folik. Namun begitu, jika anda mengambil asid folik sepanjang kehamilan anda, ia tidak akan menjejaskan kesihatan anda atau bayi anda.
Berapakah jumlah asid folik yang saya perlukan?
Sebelum anda hamil, anda dinasihatkan supaya mengambil 400 mikrogram (mcg) asid folik setiap hari. Kemudian, teruskan mengambilnya untuk 12 minggu yang pertama kehamilan. Adalah baik jika anda makan makanan yang kaya dengan folat.

Wanita yang telah mempunyai seorang anak dengan kecacatan tiub saraf mempunyai risiko yang lebih tinggi untuk mendapat seorang lagi anak dengan kecacatan yang sama. Dalam kes ini, doktor akan mempreskripsikan dos asid folik yang lebih tinggi.

Jika anda mengambil ubat-ubatan tertentu, seperti yang dipreskripsi untuk mengawal epilepsi, doktor anda mungkin mempreskripsikan dos asid folik yang lebih tinggi. Ini kerana ubat-ubatan itu menghalang keupayaan badan anda menyerap asid folik.
Apakah sumber makanan yang terbaik?
Makanan yang kaya folat adalah sangat baik bagi anda dan bayi anda. Makanan ini juga kaya dengan pelbagai khasiat yang diperlukan oleh anda berdua. Berikut adalah makanan kaya folat:

Makanan berikut mengandungi 100–200 mikrogram folat bagi setiap hidangan:
  • bayam, 1 cawan;
  • kacang bendi, setengah cawan;
  • asparagus, setengah cawan;
  • lentil, setengah cawan;
  • hati, 1 keping;
  • 11 kubis brussels;
  • kacang black-eyed beans, 4 sudu makan;
  • emping bran, 7 sudu makan;
  • germa gandum, 25g / 1 aun;
  • betik sederhana besar.
Makanan berikut mengandungi 50–100 mikrogram folat bagi setiap hidangan:
  • brokoli kukus, 2 pucuk;
  • buah oren saiz besar;
  • nasi putih, setengah cawan;
  • oat, setengah cawan;
  • kacang merah, setengah cawan;
  • jagung saiz besar, 1;
  • biji bunga matahari, 1 aun.
Sumber lain yang mudah didapati termasuklah telur rebus bersaiz besar, ikan salmon dalam tin dan ubi kentang tidak dibuang kulit.

Sila maklum: Asid folik dalam makanan akan dimusnahkan jika ia terlebih masak, jadi masaklah dalam kuali bertutup dengan jumlah air mendidih yang minima. Cuba makan sayur-sayuran yang dicelur atau dimasak menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro atau mentah.

Ayat Al-Quran Mendapat Zuriat

Terjemahannya: Wahai Tuhanku!Janganlah Engkau biarkan daku seorang diri (dengan tidak meninggalkan zuriat); dan Engkaulah jua sebaik-baik Yang mewarisi!" (surah al-Anbiya' ayat 89)


Terjemahannya: Wahai Tuhanku! kurniakanlah kepadaKu dari sisiMu zuriat keturunan Yang baik; Sesungguhnya Engkau sentiasa mendengar (menerima) doa permohonan" (surah Ali Imran ayat 38)



Maha suci Tuhan yang urusannya antara "kaf" dan "nun". Maha suci Allah yang urusannya apabila DIA menghendaki sesuatu, Ia berkata "Jadilah. maka akan jadilah". Aku bermohon kepada Allah yang maha Agung, Tuhan yang memiliki Arasy yang Agung agar DIA menyembuhkan dikau.

Should I be eating for two during my pregnancy?

Should I be eating for two during my pregnancy?

How many extra calories do I need to eat?

Obviously you're going to gain weight during pregnancy – it stands to reason, considering you have a baby growing inside you! But if you have a good pre-pregnancy weight and a healthy metabolism, you should only put on between 10 to 13kg (22 to 29lbs).

As for the extra calories you need, this really only comes into play when you get to your third trimester. 200–300 extra calories a day should be enough for women who were a healthy weight before their pregnancy. But put aside those visions of double dinners! Just something like two extra slices of buttered wholemeal toast can supply those extra calories.




What you should eat during pregnancy?

How much you eat isn't as important as how well you eat. Your baby is getting their nourishment directly from you, so try and eat a well balanced diet, avoiding too many sugary snacks (which get your blood sugars up and then rapidly down again, confusing your metabolism and probably leaving you feeling quite low or lightheaded at times.)

The main thing is not to be too hard on yourself. Some days you'll feel ravenous, others you'll just want to pick at your food. If you have morning sickness, eating little and often will help too. Just go with your instincts. You'll be amazed how well your body is designed for pregnancy!

What kinds of foods should I be eating?

During pregnancy your unborn child gets all the nutrients they need to grow and develop from you. So, to ensure that you and your child stay healthy and strong during this exciting period, it is important that you eat a healthy, balanced diet.

Top tips for a healthy diet

Choose a variety of foods from each of the different food groups to make sure you’re getting a good balance.

• Ask your doctor about extra supplements if you’re worried you’re not eating from a particular food group.

• Have 3 regular meals and 2 to 3 light snacks a day.

• Include generous helpings of fruits and vegetables, wholegrain cereals and beans to increase your fibre intake.

• Drink water regularly – at least 8 glasses a day.

• Include other drinks in your diet such as low-fat milk, fresh fruit juices and soup.

• Eat one portion of oily fish and one portion of white fish each week (but avoid shark, swordfish and marlin).

• Use vegetable oils such as corn, olive and sunflower oil in your cooking, but use them sparingly.

• Limit your intake of processed and preserved foods as they usually contain high levels of salt.

• Reduce your caffeine intake to no more than 4 cups a day.

• Limit your intake of sweets, crisps, cakes, biscuits, fats, oils, and sugar. These all provide extra calories but not much of the nutritional value that you and your child need. Over-indulging now means it will be harder to regain your pre-pregnancy figure afterwards, so try to resist dipping into the biscuit tin too often!
