      Can pregnant women eat strawberries?

      female After pregnancy, the placenta secretes a type of chorionic gonadotropin, which can inhibit the secretion of gastric acid and reduce digestive enzymes, resulting in a weakened appetite and decreased digestive function in pregnant women. Therefore, eating sour food is undoubtedly a remedy for this reaction. at the same time, fetus The development of human body, especially bone development, requires a large amount of minerals, but calcium salts must be deposited to form bones, which cannot be separated from the help of sour food. In addition, sour foods can promote the absorption of iron in the intestines, which is beneficial to both mother and fetus.

      Precautions for pregnant women to eat strawberries

      1 People with cold spleen and stomach, cold lungs and cough should not eat too many strawberries.

      2. If you want to eat, eat naturally ripe strawberries. It is best not to eat strawberries that have been ripened by drugs. Although these strawberries are beautiful in color, they are not really ripe, which is not good for the baby.

      3. The problem of pesticide residues is also worth noting. Soak in light salt water for 10 minutes before eating, and then rinse with clean water.

      4 Finally, I would like to remind pregnant women that although fruits are good, too much is not enough. You should eat fruits appropriately. For example, in the second trimester, the total amount of fruits eaten every day is about 200 grams, and no more than 500 grams.
