Can pregnant women drink barley tea?
Pregnant women can drink barley tea in moderation. Barley tea is also a kind of tea, which is made of barley after frying and boiling. It has a strong wheat flavor. Barley itself is a grain, so it is good for the body, because its nature is mild and will not cause adverse effects on pregnant women and fetuses. Barley tea has the effects of appetizing, invigorating the spleen, promoting digestion, removing greasy food and reducing weight, but it does not contain theophylline, caffeine and other substances, which does not affect fetal development, so drinking it in moderation can help digestion, remove heat and quench thirst. Barley tea is not recommended to be drunk on an empty stomach, nor overnight. It is also not recommended for pregnant women with poor gastrointestinal function. Of course, for pregnant women, it is best to drink boiled water during pregnancy. If you feel tasteless, you can choose freshly squeezed juice, or eat fresh fruit and soup, which can not only replenish enough water, but also facilitate the absorption of nutrients.
