Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of coldness. Can pregnant women eat bananas?Doctor's answer:
Bananas are considered an excellent "brain food." In addition to starch and sugar, they also contain protein, vitamins A, B, C, E, folic acid, and more than ten other trace elements and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, and phosphorus. They also contain small amounts of serotonin, dihydroxyphenylethylamine, and others. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bananas have the functions of quenching thirst, moisturizing the lungs and intestines, promoting blood circulation, replenishing essence, and lowering blood pressure. They can be beneficial for those with constipation, dryness, fever, and high blood pressure.
