Pepper is spicy and fragrant, which belongs to spicy and irritating food. It can enter the fetus with the blood circulation of pregnant women and stimulate the fetus, which is not conducive to the normal development of the fetus. Pepper is hot, which is not only irritating, but also may slow down the intestinal peristalsis after pregnant women eat pepper, which is not conducive to the discharge of metabolic waste in the intestine and is easy to cause constipation during pregnancy.
In addition, excessive consumption or long-term consumption of pepper can stimulate gastrointestinal mucosa, cause congestive inflammation, and induce hemorrhoids, elevated blood pressure, palpitation, irritability and other symptoms. If pregnant women have oral diseases or throat diseases, they also need to avoid eating pepper. If they eat pepper, it will irritate the affected area and make it difficult to heal.
Seasoning that pregnant women can't eat
1. Hot seasoning. With the increase of the fetus, it squeezes the stomach and intestines, which slows down the gastrointestinal peristalsis and is prone to constipation symptoms. During pregnancy, you should avoid eating hot spices such as pepper, mustard, fennel, anise and pepper, otherwise it will consume intestinal water and make constipation more serious.
2. Seasoning containing sodium glutamate. During pregnancy, try to avoid eating chicken essence, monosodium glutamate and other seasonings containing sodium glutamate, otherwise it will affect the absorption of zinc and consume zinc in the body, so that the body is short of zinc. Zinc deficiency in pregnant women will affect the development of fetal nervous system.
3. Eat less salt. During pregnancy, the intake of salt should be reduced, and the daily intake of salt is 2-5 grams. Excessive salt intake will make pregnant women bloated, even induce pregnancy-induced hypertension, and affect the kidney health of mother and fetus.
