Patient's question:
Please ask if it is okay to eat fried fish during pregnancy. Is it as nutritious as steamed fish? Can you eat some fried fish in moderation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, fried foods have little nutrition and many side effects on health, but it's not very practical to avoid them completely. Eating them occasionally shouldn't be a problem.After pregnancy, it's best not to eat fried foods because they contain high levels of acrylamide, a carcinogenic substance. Moreover, both good and bad foods you eat are absorbed by the baby, which can easily lead to birth defects. If you really crave them, it's better to make them at home, but you should eat them in moderation and avoid puffed foods, as they are not good for either the mother or the fetus. Eat more vegetables and fruits.
