Lantern Festival, Yuanxiao in the north and Tangyuan in the south are all necessary foods for festivals. But you know what? Pregnant women need to pay special attention when enjoying these delicious foods.

Glutinous rice expands easily.

Glutinous rice is the main raw material of glutinous rice balls. Although it is nutritious, it is not easy to digest after eating too much, which may lead to abdominal distension and discomfort. For pregnant women, due to hormonal changes, gastrointestinal peristalsis slows down and it is easier to feel uncomfortable. In addition, the high viscosity of glutinous rice may also aggravate the constipation problem of pregnant women.

Peanut and sesame are allergic.

Although peanuts, sesame seeds and other fillings often added to glutinous rice balls are delicious, they are high in fat and have the risk of allergies and tracheal blockage. Pregnant women need to pay special attention to diet during pregnancy, and it is recommended to avoid eating as much as possible.

The bean paste stuffing is high in sugar content and calories.

Although the bean paste stuffing has a unique taste, it is high in sugar and calories, which is not conducive to pregnant women to control blood sugar and weight. Pregnant women are advised to eat less or not to eat glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival to ensure the health of themselves and their babies.
