9. Fat content:
During pregnancy, your body needs more fat than usual due to physiological reasoning such as gaining fat tissue around the pelvic area to support the labor process. Therefore, 30-35% of your total calories must come from fat and preferably MUFA . However, overconsumption must be avoided. A study in 2016 found that excess fat consumption by the mother can damage the baby’s immune system. Another study by The Cleveland Clinic and West Virginia University, says that children born to mothers with high fat levels will have obesity problems later in their life.
10. Sugar and sodium levels:
Mayonnaise is high both in sugar and sodium, the two ingredients which need to be taken in limited quantities during pregnancy. Research studies have shown that in the long run, high sugar foods can lead to diabetes and sodium could potentially increase your blood pressure.
