Papaya is sweet and delicious, and it is rich in nutrition. It has the functions of promoting digestion, expelling worms, clearing away heat and expelling wind. Indications: Stomach ache, dyspepsia, lung heat, dry cough, milk obstruction, eczema, parasitic diseases, hand and foot spasm and pain. Although papaya has so many benefits, pregnant women should not eat papaya. Why can't pregnant women eat papaya?

1. Papaya is cold, so people with deficiency of spleen and stomach and deficiency of qi and blood should not eat more, otherwise it is very easy to have loose bowels or deficiency of spleen and stomach. Pregnant women are not suitable for taking ingredients that are too cold.

2. There are female hormones in papaya, which is very easy to affect the hormonal changes in pregnant women, especially green papaya. Pregnant women should give it up, because it is not only harmful to the stability of the baby, but also likely to cause miscarriage.

3. Papaya glycoside contained in papaya has the effect of promoting uterine contraction. Therefore, in order to prevent accidental miscarriage or premature birth, pregnant women should try not to eat papaya, whether raw or cooked; Because even if papaya is cooked, you can't destroy papaya glycoside.

4. In Southeast Asia and China, local residents will continue to eat papaya as a contraceptive measure, which shows that papaya is very unfavorable for production and processing.

Pregnant mothers who are pregnant in October often have morning sickness reaction, and sometimes it is inevitable to love to eat papaya. Although papaya has high nutritional content, it is not suitable for pregnant women to eat papaya often. Because papaya will increase female hormones and affect the fetus, it may be aborted if you are not careful, so it is advisable to eat less.

some people say that I can't eat raw papaya, so can I eat cooked papaya? It seems that some people drink papaya soup during pregnancy. So can pregnant women eat boiled papaya? As everyone mentioned earlier, the papaya glycoside in papaya will not be destroyed even after being cooked at high temperature, so pregnant mothers are not advised to eat boiled papaya. Pregnant mothers with work experience tell everyone that papaya soup can be drunk during pregnancy, but it is not necessary to drink too much, nor can it be eaten in the early and late pregnancy, which will cause contractions and some accidents. From here, we can see that pregnant mothers can't eat papaya raw, but they can drink papaya soup in small quantities, which also shows that pregnant mothers can eat boiled papaya, but they need to take it in small quantities in the second trimester of pregnancy.
