Pregnant people can eat beef properly, and eating beef is not harmful to their health. Many pregnant women are confused about whether they can eat beef, mainly because the older generation has a superstition that pregnant women eat beef and their children will turn black, so many pregnant mothers dare not eat beef.

In fact, there is no scientific basis for these old people's statements. Pregnant women can eat beef, and the nutritional content of beef is very beneficial to their health.

As far as the nutritional value of beef is concerned, pregnant women eat lean beef three to four times a week, 60 to100g each time, which can not only prevent iron deficiency anemia, but also enhance the immunity of expectant mothers.

Pregnant women's demand for iron and zinc is 1.5 times that of the general population. Beef is rich in iron and zinc, and the iron content per 100 gram of beef tendon is 3 mg, which is about 10% of the recommended amount of iron during pregnancy. The zinc content is 8.5 mg, which is about 77% of the recommended zinc content during pregnancy.

It is better for pregnant women to eat beef to supplement zinc than other general foods. Beef can also supplement the spleen and stomach, strengthen tendons and bones, and is a good nourishing food for pregnant women.
