Patient's question:
Just found out I'm pregnant. Adults say eating more walnuts is beneficial for the baby's brain development. But I have severe pregnancy symptoms, and the smell of walnuts makes me feel nauseous and vomit. My mother told me that for the child's health, I should try my best to eat walnuts. Is eating walnuts good for the baby's brain development?Doctor's answer:
Eating walnuts is very beneficial for the growth and development of the fetus's brain. Because walnuts contain rich nutrients, mainly a large amount of protein, as well as some trace elements such as calcium and zinc. The human brain is mainly composed of protein, so it is important to eat more walnuts during pregnancy, especially in the first three months. It is also necessary to pay attention to a balanced diet and a variety of foods.
