Patient's question:
Female, 27 years old, she has been feeling unwell in her body for a while. She didn't pay attention even though she was pregnant, but now it's a bit serious. Please ask: What foods should not be eaten after pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to avoiding excessive nutrition: If pregnant women consume too much meat, fish, eggs, and sweets, it can increase the level of catecholamines in their bodies, leading to cleft lip and palate in the fetus. If pregnant women excessively strain during bowel movements, it can significantly increase the level of vitamin A in their bodies, which may affect the development of the fetal brain and heart, as well as cause genital malformations. Therefore, pregnant women should not overeat or eat excessively when consuming nutrient-rich foods. To be precise, it is not advisable to eat them in excess, rather than completely avoiding them. Foods that are normally consumed by healthy individuals can still be eaten during pregnancy, but should be consumed in very small quantities if they are considered to be foods to be cautious about, such as those mentioned above. Foods that are absolutely not to be eaten are those that healthy individuals should also avoid outside of pregnancy, such as raw beans, raw soy milk, cassava, sprouted potatoes, fresh yellow cauliflower, green tomatoes, rotten ginger, raw bamboo shoots, and so on.
