      The weather in autumn is dry, and pregnant women may get angry if they are not careful. In severe cases, not only will the mouth become dry, but the mind will also be restless, and some people will even lose their temper due to rising deficiency fire. Pregnant women get internal heat. Getting internal heat during pregnancy is a bad thing and can also affect fetus of healthy . So, what should pregnant women do if they get angry?

      Expert explanation 1: To prevent internal heat, put diet first

      1. Drink more water in your diet. Pregnant women should eat more foods that are easy to digest and less spicy, fried, and greasy foods.

      2. Drink more mung bean soup and chrysanthemum tea, eat bitter foods such as bitter melon and lily in moderation, and pay attention to getting more rest.

      3. As far as food is concerned, "bitter" food is the natural enemy of "fire". The reason why bitter foods are bitter is that they contain bitter substances such as alkaloids and ureas. Traditional Chinese medicine research has found that these bitter substances have the effect of antipyretic, heat-relieving and fatigue-relieving effects. The best bitter food is bitter melon. Whether it is cold, stir-fried or soup, as long as the bitter melon is cooked without losing its "green" color, it can achieve the purpose of "removing heat". In addition to bitter melon, there are other bitter foods that also have a good "removing fire" effect, such as almonds, bitter herbs, Kudingcha, celery, kale, etc., which can also clear away heat and relieve summer heat.

      Expert tip: Because bitter melon contains quinine, quinine can stimulate Uterus contraction, causing miscarriage. Therefore, some people suggest that pregnant women should not eat bitter melon. Although the content of quinine in bitter melon is very small, it is not harmful for pregnant women to eat some in moderation. However, for the sake of caution, it is better for pregnant women to eat less bitter melon.

      4. Before 23:00 sleep This is difficult to do, especially in the summer. However, professional doctors remind pregnant women that summer is exactly the season when they need to ensure that they go to bed before 23 o'clock. Because 23:00 to 1:00 am is the time when Qi and blood return to the liver. If you don't sleep, it is equivalent to forcing the liver to continue working. Coupled with external climate factors, "sleep time or not" is particularly obvious in summer.

      Friendly tip from experts: Because bitter melon contains quinine, quinine can stimulate uterine contraction and cause miscarriage. Therefore, some people suggest that pregnant women should not eat bitter melon. Although the content of quinine in bitter melon is very small, it is not harmful for pregnant women to eat some in moderation. However, for the sake of caution, it is better for pregnant women to eat less bitter melon.
