Pregnant women should be careful when eating lobster

Reasons why pregnant women should be cautious about eating lobster: First, lobster has a high protein content, accounting for about 16%-20% of the total, and the fat content is less than 0.2%. The content of trace elements such as zinc, iodine, and selenium in shrimp meat is higher than other foods. However, pregnant women who are allergic to shrimps and crabs should not eat them. If the baby is breastfeeding, eating seafood can easily cause allergies in the baby. Secondly, the oceans around the world are seriously polluted today. If you accidentally eat contaminated lobsters, you will get food poisoning, and in severe cases it can even lead to death. So mothers should buy lobsters from reliable stores.

The correct way for postpartum women to eat lobster: the green "lobster liver" in lobster. Although some people find it delicious, this organ (liver) stores toxins that may cause food poisoning. Fish and shrimp are rich in nutrients such as protein and calcium. If they are eaten with certain fruits such as persimmons, grapes, seafood, pomegranates, hawthorns, green fruits, etc., the nutritional value of the protein will be reduced, and it will easily stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Therefore, there should be at least 2 hours between eating seafood and these fruits.
