Pregnant woman eats crab

Crab is a very common seafood in people's daily life. It is popular because it tastes very delicious, has high nutritional value, and contains rich minerals, protein and other trace elements that are good for the human body. However, crabs are not suitable for pregnant women, as they will have some adverse effects on them. Here is a detailed introduction to the effects of eating crabs on pregnant women.

Pregnant women eating crabs will affect the fetus and easily cause miscarriage. They should not eat longan and hawthorn. Other fruits can be eaten appropriately, but rabbit meat, crab, donkey meat, frog meat, coix seed, and cereal should not be eaten. However, normal food can be eaten.

It is necessary to correct the bad habit of picky eating and eat more foods rich in folic acid, such as spinach, milk, animal liver, potatoes, fruits, tomatoes, etc.

What should pregnant women pay attention to in their diet

1. Avoid high calcium diet

Pregnant women who blindly consume high-calcium diets, such as taking large amounts of calcium tablets, vitamin D, etc., will do more harm than good to the fetus. Nutritionists believe that if pregnant women take too much calcium supplements, the fetus may suffer from hypercalcemia. After birth, the child will have a premature closure of the fontanelle, a widened and protruding jawbone, a forward-tilted nose, and aortic stenosis, which is not only detrimental to the child's growth and development, but also damages the appearance of future generations. Generally speaking, pregnant women need 800 mg of calcium per day in the early stages of pregnancy, which can be increased to 1,100 mg in the later stages. This does not require special supplements, as long as a reasonable intake from daily dairy products, fish, meat, eggs and other foods is enough.

2. Avoid excessive salty food

Some pregnant women have a preference for salty food due to their eating habits, especially those living in the northern part of the country. Modern medical research believes that there is a certain relationship between the amount of salt consumed and the incidence of hypertension. The more salt consumed, the higher the incidence. As we all know, pregnancy-induced hypertension is a disease unique to pregnant women. Its main symptoms are edema, hypertension and proteinuria. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by subjective symptoms such as headache, dizziness, chest tightness, and vertigo, and even eclampsia may occur, endangering the health of mother and baby. Excessive salty eating in pregnant women can easily cause pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome. It is recommended that pregnant women should consume about 6 grams of salt per day.

What foods can't pregnant women eat?

In daily life, every ingredient has its own nutritional value, but once it is not fresh, sprouted, uncooked, or ripened by unconventional means, it may produce toxins and endanger your health. Pregnant women are a special group. If they accidentally consume these foods, it may affect the gastrointestinal health of the expectant mother at the very least, or threaten the safety of mother and baby at the worst. Therefore, it is important to know what foods you should not eat during pregnancy.

Foods that pregnant women cannot eat

1. Raw beans: green beans, lentils, red kidney beans, white kidney beans and other beans can cause poisoning if they are eaten raw or not heated thoroughly.

2. Raw soy milk: Raw soybeans contain toxic ingredients. If you consume uncooked soy milk, it may cause food poisoning.

3. Cassava: The roots, stems and leaves of cassava contain toxic substances. If you eat raw or undercooked cassava or drink its soup, it can cause poisoning. The toxins can cause nerve paralysis and even permanent paralysis.

4. Sprouted potatoes: The toxin in the sprouted part of potatoes - solanine - is dozens to hundreds of times higher than that in the fleshy part. Once accidentally ingested, it can cause mild impaired consciousness and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, the patient may die from heart failure and paralysis of the respiratory center.

5. Fresh daylily: Daylily contains colchicine, a toxin that can cause poisoning symptoms such as dry throat, burning sensation in the stomach, and hematuria. Before eating, you need to cook the day lily thoroughly, then blanch it in boiling water and then cook it for consumption.

6. Green tomatoes: Green tomatoes contain the toxic substance solanine. Eating these unripe green tomatoes will cause a bitter feeling in the mouth, and may cause poisoning symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. It is even more dangerous to eat them raw.
