Can pregnant women eat microwave-heated food?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Microwaves are fast, but they damage the nutritional components of food significantly. Basically, there's not much nutrition left, and some dishes can even be harmful to health after being heated in a microwave, such as green vegetables. So, it's generally not recommended to use a microwave to heat things like steamed buns or vegetables. It's okay to heat things like milk occasionally!
