Edible suggestion: eat less bitter vegetables.

Reasons for eating less

Pregnant women should eat less bitter vegetables. Bitter vegetables, also known as bitter vegetables and patrinia, are distributed in most parts of the country. Sowthistle is rich in nutrients, containing many kinds of saponins, alkaloids, volatile oil, vitamins, etc. It has inhibitory effects on Shigella, Staphylococcus aureus, Typhoid Bacillus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and has pharmacological effects of antagonizing hepatitis virus, preventing liver degeneration and promoting hepatocyte regeneration. However, because of the volatile oils such as Patrene and IsoPatrene, it may have different effects on pregnant women and fetuses. So if pregnant women eat too much bitter vegetables, the possible risks are as follows:

Mild respiratory depression

The experimental results show that the 95% ethanol total extract of Sophora alopecuroides has obvious respiratory inhibition, so eating a lot of Sophora alopecuroides will have a mild respiratory inhibition.

Mild diarrhea

Bitter herbs are bitter and slightly cold. Bitter herbs can clear away heat and relieve constipation. Slight cold also has the effects of clearing away heat and purging fire, purging heat and relaxing bowels. If pregnant women eat too much, it can lead to mild diarrhea, which is harmful to both pregnant women and fetuses.

matters need attention

Not suitable for eating with honey.

Honey has complex nutrients, including organic acids and enzymes, so it is not recommended to eat with it to prevent it from reacting with the chemical components in bitter vegetables. Because honey has the function of moistening intestines and relaxing bowels, it is easy to aggravate the possibility of diarrhea caused by bitter vegetables.

nutritive value

Sowthistle contains many nutrients, including ivy saponins, oleanolic acid saponins, ursolic acid saponins, protein, vitamins, etc., which can supplement some nutrients needed by human body.
