Why does eating a protein meal late at night prevent morning sickness?

Although there are other factors involved (like fluctuating hormone levels and some people believe a built-in method to protect from fetal-injuring microbes in foods that are common in foodborne illness, like meats), one of the main causes of morning sickness is low blood sugar. When you are very early in the pregnancy, your body has not yet adjusted to "eating for two" and it is not regulating your blood sugars well. While you are sleeping, and not consuming any foods, the baby is still "eating" your stored calories.

This makes your blood sugar dip low by morning, which typically causes nausea (even when not in pregnancy) Proteins are metabolized slower in the body than are carbohydrates, meaning that the calories last longer when you eat proteins. That is why if you eat a protein snack at night (cheese, meat, peanut butter, etc. ), it can help your blood sugar stay more stabilized until breakfast. Often, if you will eat one or two soda crackers first thing upon waking up, it will help prevent morning sickness because it is a rapidly absorbed source of blood sugar.

Then once that has relieved any nausea from the low blood sugar, eat a nutritious breakfast that includes proteins to help you start the day with fewer morning sickness symptoms Not all women experience morning sickness, which is another sign that it is associated with how a woman's body metabolizes calories and stabilizes blood sugar levels. That is why in some women, whose bodies do that less well than others even when not pregnant, "morning sickness" can happen any time of the day and also can happen either only at the beginning of pregnancy or continue longer, even up until delivery The best all around plan for helping with morning sickness (or low blood sugar nausea any time of the day) is to eat small amounts frequently that include all types of foods: proteins, complex carbohydrates (like fruits and vegetables), fats and whole grains, etc.Five or more smaller meals is much better than only three big ones. Some women switch to eating every two or three hours all day with protein at night to keep the blood sugars even.

Ask your obstetrician to suggest the most appropriate diet for you while you are making that baby.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
