Donkey meat is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, which has extremely high biological value. The content of linolenic acid is much higher than that of pork and beef. There is a saying that doesn’t mean: “Dragon meat in heaven, donkey meat on earth”, but it is praise for the extremely high nutritional value of donkey meat.

Pregnant mothers can supplement donkey meat in an appropriate amount, because eating donkey meat can enhance immunity and alleviate symptoms such as backache and memory loss during pregnancy; in addition, donkey meat has the effect of calming the nerves and removing troubles, improving Sleep during pregnancy. It can be said that eating donkey meat during pregnancy has many benefits for pregnant women. But everything has two sides. Donkey meat is a great heat-replenishing food. Pregnant women can eat it in moderation and not in excess.

In fact, there are many so-called foods that cannot be eaten during pregnancy, as long as they are in moderation and not greedy for excess. When I was pregnant with Dabao, during the longan harvest in July and August, I liked eating longan very much, so I asked my husband to transport a large carton of longan from my hometown to eat. I ate a small amount every day for a week. Next, I eat longan meat roasted in my hometown. This food is very filling and hot. I don’t dare to eat too much this time. I eat four or five at a time, every three or four days.

In the early stages of pregnancy, I had no appetite, so I bought hawthorn cakes to eat as an appetizer. Throughout my pregnancy, I also tried eating watermelon, occasionally stir-fried bitter melon and beef, or bought grapefruit from time to time to satisfy my cravings. We also had a good meal, and the baby and I came back safely. Doesn’t it mean you can’t eat these? I think it has something to do with the fact that I eat a small amount each time and am not greedy.

Of course, there are some things that you should never touch during pregnancy, such as coffee and alcoholic beverages. In my impression, excessive alcohol will cause the development of the baby's central nervous system, so I avoided it.

Hope the above can help you.
