Will eating lychees during pregnancy cause miscarriage?

In ancient times, Yang Yuhuan loved eating lychees very much. This immediately became a historical allusion in history. Of course, Yang Yuhuan was not the only one who liked to eat lychees. Nowadays, transportation is very convenient, and many people like to eat lychees. When the lychee harvest season comes, everyone goes to eat lychees. So, will eating litchi in the early stages of pregnancy cause miscarriage?

Will eating lychees in early pregnancy cause miscarriage?

Because lychees are high in sugar, consuming large amounts may cause high blood sugar. If the blood sugar concentration is too high, it can cause sugar metabolism disorders, causing sugar to be excreted from the kidneys and leading to diabetes. Although high blood sugar can be restored within 2 hours after eating too much sugar, repeated excessive eating of lychees can cause blood sugar levels to continue to rise, which can easily lead to an oversized fetus, dystocia, delayed labor, postpartum hemorrhage and infection in pregnant women.

However, for ordinary people, the possibility of getting sick due to litchi is not very high. According to clinical epidemiological surveys, people who eat 2 kg of lychees every day for a week are likely to get "lychee disease", and the onset patients are more common in children. Therefore, if pregnant women take lychee without overeating, there should be no danger to their lives.

According to Chinese medicine, the main physiological change of pregnant women is "excess yang and insufficient yin". After pregnancy, the yin blood gathers to stabilize the fetus, which most of the time causes yin blood deficiency. Yang deficiency often breeds internal fire, which usually leads to symptoms such as dry stool, bitter and dry mouth, palpitations and fever, red tongue and excessive liver fire. Therefore, scientists generally believe that "it is better to keep cool before pregnancy" and often use some refreshing, nourishing and health-preserving medicines. Litchi is warm in nature and sweet in taste, and it is very easy to "get angry". There is a saying in Guangzhou that "one lychee causes three fires". Some people will have a sore mouth or nose bleeding if they eat too much. However, from the perspective of Western medicine, lychee itself does not contain substances that can cause miscarriage. However, lychees are high in sugar, and eating too much of them can easily cause high blood sugar levels. Eating a lot of lychees for a long time may cause high blood sugar levels and easily cause the fetus to be oversized.

What are the benefits of eating lychees

Litchi is also very effective in reducing swelling and removing toxins, and is often used to treat surgical diseases. Especially the effect of lychee on inhibiting E. coli is very large. When we eat seafood on a daily basis, we can drink some wine soaked with lychee, which can inhibit E. coli virus infection and has a very good effect of reducing swelling and detoxifying. Litchi can also reduce swelling, remove toxins, promote blood circulation and relieve pain. In addition to its widely known nourishing and health-preserving effects, lychee can also be used in surgery. Litchi fruit is rich in nutrients and has certain medicinal and nourishing health effects.

When we peel off the Litchi shell, we try to leave the white film of the Litchi as much as possible, and then soak it in 30% salt water for about an hour. At this time, you can tear off the white film when eating lychees. Often soaking lychees in salt water can greatly reduce the chance of getting angry.

This method is to swallow the milky white fruit membrane directly, that is, when peeling lychees, we don't need to peel off the white membrane, we can eat it directly. Although the taste is a bit astringent, in order to avoid getting irritated, it is recommended that you swallow the fruit membrane.
