When it comes to seafood, many foodies are full of praise. There are many kinds of seafood, including fish, shellfish, crabs and so on, and most of them have high-quality gold elements, including protein, VA, VB, calcium, iodine and so on, which are beneficial to human body. Some scholars pointed out that women often eat fish during pregnancy, and the children born are outstanding in action, language and sports, so seafood is also suitable for expectant mothers.
However, the current marine environment is worrying, and the mercury content in seafood is increasing. If expectant mothers often eat seafood (refers to the number of times they eat a week >; 4. Consumption per time > 100g), which will pose a great threat to the development of children's nervous system. Although some children are not abnormal at birth, they will still show neurological defects by preschool or even adolescence, and then mothers will inevitably regret it. Therefore, it is suggested that expectant mothers who like seafood should learn to avoid food, eat it no more than twice a week, and each time the consumption should be less than 100g, and stay away from high-mercury fish such as tuna and swordfish.
