Patient's question:
I just got pregnant, can I eat black fungus and carrots? Thank you for your answer.Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women can eat black fungus, but they should pay attention to the amount consumed and avoid overeating. Black fungus contains nutrients such as vitamin B1, B2, carotene, and niacin. It is particularly rich in iron, which not only helps with blood replenishment during pregnancy but also enhances the immune system of the pregnant woman. For pregnant women with ureteral stones, it is advisable to consume slightly more black fungus. Black fungus can thin the blood, reduce blood viscosity, and help dissolve and expel stones from the body.Pregnant women can also eat carrots. Carrots are beneficial for the liver, improving eyesight, promoting digestion and bowel movement, strengthening the spleen, eliminating indigestion, enhancing immune function, and lowering blood sugar and fat. Long-term exposure to air-conditioned environments and urban pollution can directly affect the defensive function of the respiratory mucosa, leading to a decline in the body's resistance. Pregnant women should eat more carrots to increase their intake of provitamin A (carotene) and enhance their immunity.
