Can pregnant women eat a lot of pumpkin seeds?

Pumpkin can be used to cook dishes on the table. For example, we can make some stir-fried pumpkin shreds or pumpkin cakes. The pumpkin seedlings can be made into stir-fried pumpkin heads. When the pumpkin is old, we can remove the pumpkin seeds, dry them and stir-fry them. In short, the pumpkin is a treasure from head to toe. So can pregnant women also eat pumpkin seeds? Let's first learn about this issue together.

Characteristics and effects of pumpkin: 1. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic: relieve pain and reduce pain. It can reduce inflammation and fever and relieve inflammation.

2. Lowering blood sugar and relieving thirst: It has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on diabetes. It has the effect of lowering blood sugar and promoting the decomposition of sugar.

3. Anti-cancer and anti-tumor: prevent cancer and reduce the incidence of cancer. Delay and inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells.

4. Nourishing skin: Rich in vitamin E, it inhibits skin aging and prevents pigmentation.

5. Insecticide and deworming: Pumpkin seeds are very effective in killing schistosome larvae and can also cause the degeneration of mature adults and reduce the number of worms.

6. Prevent and treat prostate diseases: American research has found that eating about 50 grams of pumpkin seeds every day can effectively prevent and treat prostate diseases.

Warm reminder: There is currently no report on the adverse effects of pumpkin seeds on pregnant women and fetuses, so there should be no problem if eaten appropriately. However, eating them can easily cause getting a sore throat. I recommend white fried melon seeds, which are rich in folic acid and are very helpful in preventing fetal malformations in the early stages. White fried seeds do not cause much heat. Please try not to eat black melon seeds as they contain a lot of additives and flavors.

Although pumpkin seeds are rich in nutrients, it is best for pregnant women to eat less and not too much at one time. In addition, it is recommended that pregnant women peel the pumpkin seeds by hand and eat them directly to avoid eating the pumpkin seed shells directly without knowing how to crack the seeds, as this will affect the appetite of pregnant women.
