Pregnant women can't drink aloe vera yogurt, what should pregnant women eat

A woman's taste may change after she becomes pregnant. She may suddenly like foods that she didn't like before, and hot and sour flavors may become more addictive. Pregnant women should try not to drink beverages, so yogurt becomes the drink of choice for pregnant women. Aloe vera has certain medicinal properties. Some people eat aloe vera and yogurt together, but pregnant women should not eat aloe vera yogurt because aloe vera may cause miscarriage. Pregnant women must be aware of dietary taboos to avoid harming their bodies and the development of their babies.

1. Can pregnant women eat aloe vera yogurt?

In recent years, many studies have shown that aloe vera can cause miscarriage, so the Food and Drug Administration now stipulates that all foods containing aloe vera must be labeled as being for pregnant women and infants to consume with caution.

Pregnant women and women during menstruation are strictly prohibited from taking aloe vera. In ancient times, aloe vera was used as a gynecological medicine to treat symptoms such as amenorrhea. Because aloe vera can cause congestion in the female pelvic organs and promote uterine movement. Therefore, pregnant women or women during menstruation may easily suffer from abdominal pain and cause severe bleeding if they take it. Yogurt is made from fresh milk fermented by lactic acid bacteria and has a low pH value. If a pregnant woman has a strong reaction in the early stages of pregnancy and has acid reflux, it means that she has too much stomach acid and she should not drink yogurt at this time. However, you can drink it after a meal, when there is some food in your stomach, but in moderation. You can try it, but don't drink it on an empty stomach. If pregnant women do not have acid reflux, they can drink yogurt. The nutritional value of yogurt is not only the same as that of fresh milk, but also easy to digest and absorb. The lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can inhibit the reproduction of putrefactive bacteria after entering the intestines, and reduce the toxins produced by putrefactive bacteria in the intestines, thereby playing a health-care role. At the same time, it can also increase the body's intake of B vitamins. Yogurt is more suitable for people with lack of stomach acid. However, a lot of calcium is needed during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, about 1000-1500 mg per day. Because a lot of calcium is lost in the production process of yogurt, it is not as rich in calcium as fresh milk. Moreover, the lactic acid in yogurt must be metabolized in the liver, which increases the burden on the liver of pregnant women. Therefore, whether or not to drink yogurt needs to be decided based on the actual situation of the pregnant woman.

2. What should you eat during early pregnancy?

Most expectant mothers in the early stages of pregnancy are troubled by pregnancy reactions and have poor appetite. At this stage, expectant mothers do not need to deliberately force themselves to eat more. Instead of worrying about chicken, duck, fish and meat every day, it is better to choose more of their favorite foods to increase appetite. There is no need to force yourself to eat greasy or appetite-suppressing foods.

3. Dietary nutrition principles for pregnant women

(1) During early pregnancy, the diet should be light and easily digestible.

(2) Pregnant women should choose foods they like as much as possible.

(3) To ensure adequate protein intake, pregnant women can appropriately supplement their diet with milk, eggs, beans, and nuts.

(4) Pay attention to folic acid intake during early pregnancy, as folic acid is related to the development of the fetus's nervous system. If there is a lack of folic acid during pregnancy, it is easy to cause neural tube defects in the fetus, such as anencephaly or spina bifida, and the chance of cleft lip and cleft palate is also increased. Many natural foods are rich in folic acid. Various green vegetables (such as spinach, lettuce, asparagus, Chinese cabbage, broccoli, etc.), animal liver and kidneys, beans, fruits (bananas, strawberries, oranges, etc.), dairy products, etc. are rich in folic acid.

(5) The supply of vitamins should be adequate. If the expectant mother's pregnancy reaction seriously affects her normal eating, she can take appropriate multivitamin tablets under the doctor's advice.
