Can pregnant women eat spicy cabbage?

Some women become fond of sour food after pregnancy, so they often eat a lot of pickles and pickles. However, Dr. Zhong from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology suggested that it is ok for pregnant women to eat pickles occasionally, but excessive intake is not good for their health and development. The doctor explained that there are nitroso compounds in pickles and sauerkraut, which are highly carcinogenic and can induce tumors in various animals and various tissues and organs. It is worth noting that some nitroso compounds can cause uterine tumors and induce fetal malformation through placenta. But that doesn't mean you can't eat sour food. After all, sour taste can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, improve the activity of digestive enzymes, promote gastric peristalsis, and facilitate the digestion of food and the absorption of various nutrients. Therefore, eating sour food after pregnancy is good for the health of both the fetus and the mother, but it must be eaten selectively.

Because pickles produce nitrite in the curing process, it is recognized as a carcinogen; Moreover, the content of nitrite is closely related to many factors such as salt concentration, temperature and curing time. The problem of high nitrite content is more likely to appear in pickles produced by families, small workshops or manufacturers without strict safety inspection. Therefore, kimchi should not be eaten more.

The principle that pregnant women should not eat and drink

1, not suitable for high-calcium diet: pregnant women blindly ingest high-calcium diet, such as taking a lot of calcium tablets and vitamin D, which is harmful to the fetus. If the daily intake of dairy products, fish, meat, eggs and other foods is reasonable, it is necessary to supplement calcium according to the doctor's advice.

2, not suitable for high-fat diet: medical experts pointed out that long-term indulgence in high-fat foods will increase the concentration of cholic acid and neutral cholesterol in the large intestine, and the accumulation of these substances can induce colon cancer. At the same time, high-fat food can increase the synthesis of prolactin and promote the occurrence of breast cancer, which is not conducive to maternal and child health.

3. Not suitable for high-protein diet: The daily protein requirement of pregnant women should reach 90 ~ 100g. A high-protein diet exceeding this value will affect the appetite of pregnant women, increase the burden of gastrointestinal tract, affect the intake of other nutrients, and make the diet and nutrition out of balance.

4, not suitable for high-sugar diet: sugar metabolism in the human body will consume a lot of calcium, calcium deficiency during pregnancy will affect the development of fetal teeth and bones.

5, should not be too salty: pregnant women eat too much salty food is likely to lead to pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, therefore, experts suggest that pregnant women's daily salt intake should be about 6 grams.

6, not acidic diet: pregnant women may have picky eaters, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and other early pregnancy symptoms in the first trimester, many people like acidic diet. However, if the mother ingests a large amount of acidic drugs or other acidic substances in the early pregnancy, it may affect the normal division, proliferation, development and growth of embryonic cells, easily induce genetic material mutation, and lead to fetal malformation.
