Preparation for pregnancy is an important and necessary step in the life of every mother. First of all, it includes the replenishment of micronutrient deficiencies. After all, they play one of the main roles in the formation and development of the fetus.
Top essential trace elements in preparation for pregnancy
Iron
According to doctors, only 20% of pregnant women have normal levels of iron in the body. This means that 4 out of 5 women are deficient in this trace element. Iron is necessary for the prevention of anemia. It is part of hemoglobin, which helps to provide oxygen to both the baby and the mother. Iron also participates in the synthesis of protein, which is responsible for the formation of the baby’s muscle tissue. An important point is that the deficiency of this trace element can lead to uterine tone. And this is already a serious enough threat to the normal gestation of the fetus.
Magnesium
It has been mentioned more than once that magnesium takes part in many metabolic processes and normalizes the work of the cardiovascular system. It also helps to cope with stress, reduce anxiety and nervous tension. Pregnant women often face muscle cramps. This indicates that there is not enough magnesium in the body.
Calcium
During the preparation for pregnancy, special attention should be paid to such a trace element as calcium. During pregnancy, the amount of calcium will decrease, as it will be responsible for the development and growth of the fetus, for the formation of bones, teeth, internal organs, and the nervous system of the baby. For mom, a good level of calcium in the body will be the prevention of osteoporosis.
Zinc
The trace element is responsible for the development of the fetus, the formation of a strong nervous system. Zinc deficiency may increase the risk of perinatal complications. It is involved in the production of insulin and proper cell division. It is an essential mineral.
Conscious parents carefully approach the issue of pregnancy planning: they give up bad habits, eat foods that alkalize the body, monitor the water regime.
When you have an Aquator Vivo+ at home, you can drink healthy water every day. An ionizer with the function of basic mineralization (the “Base” cartridge) will prepare water in a few minutes. It consists of basic minerals that will make up for deficiencies as carefully as possible.
