Pregnant women should eat less of these foods to prevent fetal abnormalities

　　1. Too many acidic foods

　　—Generally speaking, women often experience nausea, vomiting and other reactions in the early stages of pregnancy. In my country, acidic foods have always been used to relieve vomiting during pregnancy, and acidic drugs have even been used to stop vomiting. These methods are not advisable.

　　In recent years, relevant research institutions in the foreign medical community have clearly pointed out that acidic foods and drugs are one of the "culprits" leading to fetal abnormalities.

　　Studies have found that if pregnant women eat too much acidic foods such as meat, fish, chocolate, and sugar, their body fluids will change, forming a kind of "acidification", which will further increase the level of catecholamines in the blood, causing pregnant women to be irritable, lose their temper, easily sad, and other negative emotions. This kind of bad negative emotion can increase the secretion of hormones and other toxic substances in the mother's body, causing fetus An important cause of developmental malformations of cleft palate, cleft lip and other organs. At the same time, researchers measured the pH of fetal tissue and maternal blood at different periods, and concluded that it is better to eat no or less acidic foods or acid-containing drugs (such as vitamin C, aspirin) during the first half month of pregnancy.

　　Kind tips:

　　From a nutritional perspective, pregnant women eating sour foods can meet the nutritional needs of the mother and fetus. Pregnant women eating sour foods can help the growth and development of fetal bones. However, extremes must be reversed. If pregnant women eat a large amount of acidic foods, the alkalinity in the body will decrease, easily causing fatigue and weakness. Not only will the mother be prone to certain diseases disease , and more importantly, it can affect the normal and normal development of the fetus. healthy Growth and development of the fetus, and in severe cases, it can even lead to fetal malformation.

　　2. Foods containing Toxoplasma gondii

　　Almost all mammals and poultry (such as rats, pigs, sheep, cattle, rabbits and chickens, ducks, geese, etc.) can be infected with Toxoplasma gondii. The main source of human infection is the meat of these animals. For example, if the scalding time of hot pot is too short, the temperature of barbecue is not enough, and the Toxoplasma gondii in the meat is not killed, there is a risk of infection; if raw meat and cooked food share a chopping board, the Toxoplasma gondii on the raw meat will contaminate the cooked food; contaminated sheep and milk can also be infected. The low infection rate of Toxoplasma gondii in the Chinese population may be related to the Chinese people’s habit of eating cooked meat, rather than keeping pets.

　　Kind tips : Acute infection with Toxoplasma gondii in early pregnancy can lead to fetal hydrocephalus, microcephaly, brain calcification, miscarriage, stillbirth, etc. Neonates can have convulsions, cerebral palsy, hearing impairment, intellectual disability, etc., with a mortality rate of 72%. Therefore, pregnant mothers must avoid Toxoplasma gondii.

　　5. Tuna

　　Pregnant women who like to eat tuna should be careful! An American environmental group found that the mercury content in 7 types of seafood, including tuna, seriously exceeded standards, and that pregnant women who regularly consumed them could give birth to fetal abnormalities. Relevant groups have suggested that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration should expand the blacklist of "mercury fish". A Hong Kong doctor pointed out that excessive mercury absorbed by the fetus in the mother's body will affect the brain. nerve Development, future learning ability will be defective, as well as sequelae such as delayed intellectual development.

　　Kind tips : Pregnant mothers should reduce their consumption of canned tuna, fish, cod, and pollock, as these canned fish also contain high mercury content, and the amount they eat should be limited to once a month. The U.S. Environmental Working Group points out that seafood that is safe for pregnant women to eat includes artificially raised trout and catfish, shrimp, salmon, Pacific salmon, yellow croaker, Mid-Atlantic blue crab and black silk crab.
