For mothers who are planning to have children, choosing to eat good, nutritious food that contains all 5 food groups can help mothers have good health and be ready for pregnancy.

For mothers who like to eat sweets or sugar, it may affect the quality of eggs because sugar contains free radicals that can destroy cells, including egg cells, which means it causes the quality of egg cells to deteriorate.

In addition, sugar also affects the body in the long term because sugar affects blood sugar levels, causing insulin secretion, which can cause Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), leading to infertility in the future.

Therefore, parents who want to have children should eat nutritious food, complete with all 5 food groups, focus on eating nutritious protein, avoid sweets that cause the quality of eggs to deteriorate, eat good fats, and control body weight to be appropriate. Exercise regularly or at least 3 days a week to increase the chances of getting pregnant.
