Precautions for pregnant women when eating mutton
Although mutton is very good for pregnant women, you should also pay attention to some taboos. Mutton must be cooked well when eating, especially pregnant women. Because there is Toxoplasma gondii in the mutton, if the temperature is not high enough and the food is not cooked thoroughly enough, these parasites cannot be eliminated. Toxoplasma gondii is dangerous to pregnant women with autoantibodies and can cause fetal malformations.
Mutton is a very high-calorie food. Pregnant women should not eat too much at one time, otherwise it will cause internal heat. After eating mutton, it is better to eat some light food that can reduce internal heat. Pregnant women should drink more water when eating mutton, and eat more fruits and vegetables and foods rich in calcium to further increase the nutrition of the fetus. The weather is hot in summer, so it is not suitable to eat mutton. Pregnant women with fever symptoms should not eat mutton.
