Food taboos for pregnant women

There are many women who do not pay attention to how they eat when they are pregnant. Sometimes they eat some foods that they cannot eat during pregnancy, which will cause discomfort to the pregnant women. Some foods may even cause miscarriage. However, many pregnant women do not know how they should eat when they are pregnant. Next, let me explain to you the complete food taboos for pregnant women.

Threatened abortion may be caused by improper rest, weak constitution, a history of abortion, gynecological diseases, etc.

The following foods can easily cause miscarriage:

1. Aloe vera: Data provided by the Chinese Society of Food Science and Technology shows that if pregnant women drink aloe vera juice, it may cause pelvic bleeding and even miscarriage. For women after childbirth, the ingredients of aloe vera mixed into breast milk will irritate the baby and cause diarrhea. Aloe vera itself contains a certain amount of toxins, and the toxic dose is 9-15 grams. People may generally experience poisoning reactions such as nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, hemorrhagic gastritis, etc. within 8-12 hours after consumption.

2. Crab: It tastes delicious, but it is cold in nature and has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so it is not good for pregnant women, especially crab claws, which have obvious abortion effects; 3. Turtle: Although it has the effect of nourishing yin and benefiting the kidney, the nature of turtle is salty and cold, and it has a strong effect of promoting blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis, so it has a certain disadvantage of causing abortion, especially the abortion effect of turtle shell is stronger than turtle meat;

4. Job's tears: It is a food and medicine, and Chinese medicine believes that it has a smooth and slippery texture. Pharmacological experiments have shown that coix seed has an excitatory effect on uterine smooth muscle, which can promote uterine contraction and thus may induce miscarriage.

5. Purslane: It is both a herb and a vegetable, and its medicinal properties are cold and slippery. Experiments have shown that purslane juice has a significant stimulating effect on the uterus, which can increase the frequency and intensity of uterine contractions, and can easily cause miscarriage.

6. Black Fungus: Black Fungus is scientifically known as Morus alba. Although it is very popular among pregnant women because of its nourishing and stomach-benefiting effects, it also has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which is not conducive to the stability and growth of the embryo, so it is not suitable for consumption.

7. Apricots and almonds: Apricots are sour and hot in nature, and can induce abortion. Because the fetal heat is relatively heavy during pregnancy, people should generally eat light food before delivery. The hot nature of apricots and their ability to cause miscarriage are taboos for pregnant women. Almonds contain the highly toxic substance hydrocyanic acid, which can cause the fetus to suffocate and die. Children can die if they eat 7 to 10 almonds.

To prevent its toxic substances from passing through the placental barrier and affecting the fetus, pregnant women should avoid eating almonds. 8. Others: fennel, prickly ash, pepper, cinnamon, chili, garlic, pig liver, etc. Contact with: radiation, pesticides, lead, mercury, cadmium can easily cause miscarriage and deformity. Sexual intercourse can easily cause miscarriage.
