Pregnant mother craving spaghetti is a sign that indicates what?

With eye-catching yellow color, pasta is considered a favorite food of many pregnant mothers. The general question of many people is that this food is safe for pregnant women?

Depending on the location of each person as well as the type of noodles, the amount used and the way of processing, spaghetti can bring different results to the health of pregnant mothers. The following shares will help you know specifically the nutritional level and influence of pasta on the health of mother and fetus.

Should moms eat spaghetti during pregnancy?

Pregnant mothers can still eat pasta during pregnancy, but you should only eat in a moderate amount and prepare yourself to ensure safety and hygiene. Pregnant mothers eat too much noodles can lead to many problems with digestion and general health.

 

What kind of pasta is good for pregnant mothers?

Pasta is a food that helps you feel both delicious and full. Here are some suggestions for spaghetti styles:

Traditional pasta

This pasta is made with refined flour. The purification process involves removing the outer shell and the inner seed layer, leaving only the starch endosperm layer. Rejected nutrient-rich outer shells contain large amounts of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and fiber, leaving the final product with very few nutrients. Therefore, manufacturers often add some other nutrients like B vitamins and iron.

Noodles are made from 100% whole grains

This noodle contains all three layers of nutrition - the bran, germ and endosperm of the wheat seed. It is full of fiber and micronutrients. This type of noodle is much more nutritious than traditional pasta and has various health benefits such as helping to lower blood pressure and reducing the risk of several chronic diseases like heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Currently, there are many types of whole grains on the market . So how to choose the right 100% whole grain product? Check the list of ingredients on the package and choose only 100% whole grain or 100% whole wheat. Brown rice and oats are two typical whole grains.

The reason why pregnant mothers want to eat

Pregnancy can cause you to develop some completely different eating habits like eating pasta. Some possible reasons for this phenomenon are:

Hormonal changes in the body;

Nutritional requirements. Pasta, depending on the type and recipe, is often rich in carbohydrates, fiber and magnesium. The pregnant mom's appetite for some foods can be a sign that pregnant women lack one or some of these nutrients;

Serotonin. Certain types of pasta contain high amounts of sugar, which promotes the production of serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays an important role in creating feelings of happiness. That is why pregnant women may want to use foods that increase serotonin production.

Eating too much of any kind of food can also cause negative effects on the health of mother and fetus. With pasta, too, you need to eat a sufficient amount to protect your health.
