Women who suffer from severe morning sickness can eat some pickled mustard tubers in moderation to relieve the symptoms.

1. Pickled mustard tuber has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stimulating appetite. If expectant mothers have obvious morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy, they can eat some pickled mustard tuber to relieve the symptoms. However, pickled mustard tuber is a pickled food after all, and the nitrite content in it is relatively high, so pregnant women must control the amount when eating pickled mustard tuber. At the same time, you must choose pickled mustard tubers produced by regular manufacturers. High-quality pickled mustard tubers are green or light yellow in appearance, with chili powder on the surface, red in color, shiny, tender and fresh, with a fresh and fragrant smell and no peculiar smell.

2. In addition to pickled mustard tubers, pickled foods with high salt content should not be eaten too much. The sodium content in the average person's daily diet is about 500 mg. The Nutrition Society recommends that pregnant women consume about 2,500 mg of sodium per day, which means that daily salt intake should be less than 6 grams. If you sweat a lot, you can increase it appropriately.

During this stage, the diet of pregnant women should be light and easy to digest and absorb. They should eat less greasy food, drink less beverages and soup during meals, avoid various harmful stimuli, not smoke, and not drink beverages containing alcohol or caffeine.
