After all, it is a very good condiment. Many people like to eat MSG because it can enhance the flavor of dishes and make them more delicious and fragrant. However, since modern scientists have discovered that eating too much MSG can hinder a person's intellectual development, many people stay away from it. During the confinement period, mothers cannot eat many foods in consideration of their own physical recovery. So can they eat MSG during the confinement period? Knowledge about MSG It is a known fact to many people that adding a little MSG when cooking or making soup can make the dish more delicious. Why does MSG have such magical power? Such a small amount can make a dish delicious? I believe that most people do not know the secret of MSG. MSG was originally made by extracting glutamate from kelp and then adding sodium. It is actually a sodium salt of glutamate, which can also be called disodium glutamate. MSG has the strongest umami taste of all glutamates. If it is diluted 3000 times with water, the umami taste can still be felt, so it is not an exaggeration to call it "MSG". Can mothers eat MSG during confinement? After ten months of pregnancy and childbirth, sometimes you may feel that you have no appetite for anything. At this time, you have to rely on your own eating preferences and the temptation of delicious food to support your stomach. Adding a little seasoning when cooking will make the food more delicious and may increase your appetite, but all diet should not only satisfy your own desires but should be based on good health. For the sake of health, it is recommended that mothers should not eat MSG during the confinement period. What will happen after eating MSG? The sodium glutamate component in MSG will break down into glutamate, a neurotransmitter. Excessive intake will suppress various nerve functions and cause a series of symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and drowsiness. Some people with sensitive constitutions will also feel headache and muscle weakness. Excessive intake of sodium ions can easily cause thirst symptoms. Can breastfeeding mothers eat MSG? It is recommended not to eat too much MSG in your daily diet, and breastfeeding mothers should avoid it. MSG can be passed to your baby through breast milk. It is very harmful to your body. Monosodium glutamate has an impact on the growth and development of babies, especially babies under 12 weeks old. Monosodium glutamate combines with zinc in the baby's body to produce glutamate that is not easily absorbed by the human body. Zinc is excreted from the baby's urine, resulting in zinc deficiency in the baby. In severe cases, the baby will suffer from developmental problems or even intellectual impairment. |
