Can pregnant women eat red-skin peanuts?

Normally when we eat peanuts, we often have a habit of peeling off the red skin on the outside of the peanuts, because everyone thinks that this layer of skin affects the taste. Even if the peanuts are cooked, this layer of skin tastes particularly bad. So no matter how you eat peanuts, you habitually peel off the outer skin. In fact, it is best to eat red-skinned peanuts with the skin, especially for many pregnant women, who can eat peanuts appropriately during pregnancy.

Pregnant women can eat red-skin peanuts: the reasons are as follows:

Peanuts are recognized worldwide as a healthy food. In our country, peanuts are considered one of the "Top Ten Longevity Foods". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the effects of peanuts are to harmonize the spleen and stomach, replenish blood and stop bleeding, and lower blood pressure and blood lipids. The effect of "replenishing blood and stopping bleeding" is mainly due to the red skin on the outside of the peanut.

According to TCM theory, "the spleen governs blood" and people with qi deficiency are prone to bleeding. The red skin of peanuts can replenish the qi of the spleen and stomach, so it can nourish blood and stop bleeding. This is called "tonifying qi and stopping bleeding" in TCM.

Western medicine believes that peanut skins can inhibit the dissolution of fibrin, increase the content of platelets, improve the quality of platelets, improve the defects of coagulation factors, strengthen the contraction function of capillaries, and promote bone marrow hematopoietic function. Therefore, it has obvious effects on various bleeding diseases, anemia caused by bleeding, aplastic anemia and other diseases.

Female friends, especially those who are menstruating, pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding, should eat peanuts more often and eat more of them, because women in these periods lose more blood and consume more nutrients, and peanut red skins are very good for nourishing and replenishing their blood. At the same time, peanut red skin has the effect of promoting hair growth and darkening hair. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "hair is the residue of blood" and hair loss and graying are caused by blood deficiency, which deprives the hair of nourishment. The red skin of peanuts nourishes and replenishes blood, making people's hair darker and more beautiful.
