Pregnant women eat fruits with pesticides

When women are pregnant, doctors often advise them to have a healthy and balanced diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat less chicken, duck, fish and meat. Although vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrients, many varieties need to be fertilized several times during the growth period to ensure their quality.

Pregnant women eat fresh fruits with fertilizers

Pregnant women should go to the hospital immediately after eating fruits sprayed with pesticides, and take the remaining fruits for testing to see if they will cause any harm to the human body, because there are many types of fertilizers, and the effects on pregnant women and fetuses are different. After eating fruits containing fertilizers, premature births, fetal death, fetal malformations, neonatal death, etc. may occur. After examination, the data showed that there was no effect. Drinking more water can excrete the fertilizer residue through urine as soon as possible to reduce the probability of affecting the fetus. If such a situation occurs within 14 weeks of pregnancy, screening should be done in time, and a four-dimensional color ultrasound should be done at 22 weeks to avoid the occurrence of fetal malformations. You should go for regular check-ups throughout the pregnancy period. Before eating apples, you should clean them thoroughly. You can put them in a basin with water and salt, soak them for half an hour and then clean them to remove pesticide residues.

Pregnant mothers should try to avoid eating vegetables and fruits that contain more pesticide residues. A sampling test on vegetables and fruits was once conducted, and the results showed that the vegetables and fruits with the highest amount of pesticide residues are the ones that are essential on our dining table, such as the following ones.

1. Loofah:

Many mothers would not have thought that a common food ingredient like loofah could contain 4 to 13 kinds of pesticide residues. This is because the smell of loofah is very popular with insects, and the growth environment is relatively humid, which is easy to cause some problems, which makes the insecticide content relatively large.

Many people like to eat cucumbers raw, but it would be more troublesome if they are not washed clean. Therefore, if pregnant mothers really want to eat cucumbers, they can peel and wash them before eating. In addition, in addition to loofah, another plant that everyone likes to eat raw is tomatoes, which are also prone to residual fertilizers in the root part and must be carefully cleaned.

2. Strawberry seedlings:

The strawberry seedlings also have high levels of pesticide residues, ranging from 1 to 13 types. This kind of seasonal fruit is sweet and delicious and is loved by women, including pregnant women. Although the fertilizer in the strawberry seedlings takes time to dissolve, pregnant mothers should not take too much, once a week is appropriate.

In addition, the strawberry seedlings are very good in color, aroma and taste. Everyone likes to pick large, round and brightly colored ones to buy home. However, it is not ruled out that some growers continue to spray pesticides on strawberry seedlings in order to make them more colorful, fragrant and delicious. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers soak strawberries in salt water and edible alkali for a while before eating them to achieve the purpose of cleaning the fertilizers.

3. Rapeseed:

Rapeseed belongs to the cruciferous vegetable family and is more susceptible to diseases. I believe that many people will find that after buying rapeseed, there are many holes drilled by insects on the leaves. As a result, the frequency of fertilizer use will increase, and even lead to excessive pesticide residues. There are as many as 1-12 types of residual fertilizers in rapeseed.

Therefore, here I suggest that mothers who want to eat rapeseed should soak it in cold water after cleaning the whole grain. Or blanch the rapeseed in boiling water, which is also a more effective way to remove insects and fertilizers. After all, rapeseed is high in calcium and contains more vitamin C than ordinary fresh fruits. There is no harm for mothers to eat it during pregnancy.
