What are the taboos of eating fruits during pregnancy?

When a woman is pregnant, she needs the most care and attention, but nutrition must not be neglected either. So some expectant mothers eat a lot of fruit every day, thinking that this is good for the baby and themselves. In fact, this is not the case. During pregnancy, there are some fruits that pregnant women cannot eat or cannot eat in large quantities, otherwise it will more or less affect the health of the baby. So which fruits are taboo during pregnancy? Let's listen to the editor's introduction.

Hawthorn: It can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis and promote menstruation, and has a certain contraction effect on the uterus. In the early stages of pregnancy, you should eat it in small amounts. Pregnant women with a history of miscarriage or signs of miscarriage should avoid eating it, even hawthorn products are no exception.

Lychee and longan: From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, after a woman becomes pregnant, her constitution tends to be hotter and her yin blood is often insufficient. At this time, some hot fruits such as lychee and longan should be eaten in moderation, otherwise it is easy to cause symptoms of getting angry such as constipation and mouth ulcers. Pregnant women with threatened miscarriage should be especially cautious, because hot fruits are more likely to cause fetal movement disorder.

Citrus: Citrus fruits are delicious, but don’t eat too much. Because citrus fruits are warm in nature and sweet in taste, they replenish yang and qi, but excessive consumption will have no benefit to the body and can easily cause dryness and heat, causing people to get angry, and develop stomatitis, periodontitis, pharyngitis, etc. Pregnant women should not eat more than 3 citrus fruits a day, with a total weight of less than 250 grams.

Persimmon: Although persimmon has good nutritional and medical effects, it also has its shortcomings. Persimmons have an astringent taste. Eating too many of them will make your mouth feel astringent and numb. They have a strong astringent effect and can cause dry stools. It can aggregate into agglomerates when exposed to acid and produce precipitation after combining with protein. Therefore, you should eat persimmons in moderation, one per meal is appropriate. Therefore, pregnant women can eat persimmons but not too much.

Kiwi: Although kiwi is good, it is not suitable for everyone. Because kiwi fruit is cold in nature, people with weak spleen and stomach should eat it with caution. People with frequent diarrhea and frequent urination should not eat it. The best time to eat is 1-3 hours after a meal, and it is not suitable to eat on an empty stomach. Expectant mothers who are experiencing threatened miscarriage should never eat kiwi fruit.

Pineapples, bananas, muscat grapes, pomegranates and apricots: These fruits should be eaten in moderation. Fruits such as pineapples, bananas, and rose-scented grapes have high sugar content. Pregnant women who are obese or have a family history of diabetes should eat less of them to avoid consuming too much sugar. If a pregnant woman is anemic, she should eat less pomegranates and apricots.

The above are the taboos on eating fruits during pregnancy that the editor has summarized. In short, not all fruits are suitable for eating during pregnancy. Everything should be eaten in moderation. It is best to choose fruits with a lower sugar content. If expectant mothers like sweet fruits, they must pay attention to controlling the amount, otherwise it will affect the baby's health.
