Can pregnant women eat arrowroot?

During pregnancy, women may have heard that eating some arrowroot powder in moderation is very good for the body, so they also want to eat some. However, during pregnancy, the safety of the fetus needs to be considered, so many pregnant women are not sure whether they can eat arrowroot powder at this time. So, can pregnant women eat arrowroot?

First of all, it is okay if pregnant women eat less arrowroot powder. During pregnancy, do not eat too much arrowroot powder, because arrowroot powder is a cooling food. During pregnancy, if you eat too much, it may stimulate the uterus and cause excessive contraction, which will cause fetal malformation. Premature birth, or miscarriage, is not good for your health during pregnancy.

Secondly, if a woman has spleen and stomach deficiency during pregnancy, she should also be careful not to eat cool foods like arrowroot powder at this time. During pregnancy, women should still eat some warm foods, which are more beneficial to their health. Hot foods can cause internal heat and constipation in pregnant women, while cold foods can cause diarrhea and are not conducive to health during pregnancy.

In addition, during pregnancy, it is better for women to eat some common fresh vegetables, fruits, meats, eggs, milk, fish and other foods. It is better to eat less traditional Chinese medicine food or more nutritious food to avoid adverse effects on health during pregnancy or overnutrition of the fetus.
