What should pregnant women do if they drink rice wine?

Everyone knows that women need to supplement a lot of nutrition during pregnancy, but they also need to pay special attention to their diet. Not all foods are suitable for pregnant women. In daily food ingredients, each ingredient has its unique nutritional value. For ordinary people, there will be no bad effects after eating it, but as a special group of pregnant women, they need to pay a lot of attention when eating food.

Pregnant women should not drink glutinous rice wine. Glutinous rice wine is also wine and contains alcohol. If pregnant women consume too much alcohol, about 30-40% of the fetuses will suffer from malformations or defects to varying degrees. Common ones include macrocephaly, mental retardation, and congenital malformations of the heart or limbs. This is because alcohol travels through the pregnant woman's bloodstream to the placenta. The placenta has no ability to absorb alcohol, so alcohol will enter the fetus through the placenta.

In the fetus, alcohol can affect the cell division process and thus affect the development of the fetus's brain or other organs, leading to various malformations. For the mother, the functional burden on the liver and kidneys increases during pregnancy, and alcohol in the body is mainly degraded by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Therefore, consuming alcohol during pregnancy will undoubtedly increase the burden on the liver and kidneys. Moreover, alcohol is harmful to the nervous and cardiovascular systems of pregnant women. Therefore, glutinous rice wine also contains alcohol. Although the content is small, it can also cause harm to pregnant women and fetuses.

Foods that pregnant women should eat with caution

1. Aloe Vera

Data provided by the Chinese Society of Food Science and Technology shows that if pregnant women drink too much aloe juice, it is easy to cause abdominal pain, vomiting, bloody stools, and even miscarriage.

2. Crabs

Crabs taste delicious, but they are cold in nature and have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Therefore, they have adverse effects on pregnant women and should be eaten with caution.

3. Barley:

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that coix seed is slippery in texture and has an excitatory effect on uterine smooth muscle, which can promote uterine contraction and have the possibility of inducing miscarriage, so it should be eaten with caution.

4. Purslane:

Purslane has a cold and slippery nature, and has a significant stimulating effect on the uterus. It can increase the frequency and intensity of uterine contractions, and can easily cause miscarriage, so it should be eaten with caution.

6. Apricots and almonds:

Because the fetal heat is heavier during pregnancy, people should generally eat light food before delivery. However, apricots are hot in nature, and eating too many apricots at one time can cause getting angry, so pregnant women should eat them with caution.

7. Soft-shell turtle

Because soft-shelled turtle is salty and cold in nature, and has a strong effect of clearing blood vessels and dispersing blood stasis, it has a certain disadvantage of causing abortion, so pregnant women should eat it with caution.

8. Chili pepper:

Eating chili peppers in moderation is good for people to absorb comprehensive nutrients. However, eating too much chili can irritate the stomach and intestines, cause constipation, and accelerate blood flow. If the patient has placenta previa, it should be absolutely prohibited to eat.

9. Pepper, star anise, cinnamon, five-spice powder:

These are hot condiments that easily consume intestinal moisture, reduce intestinal secretions and cause intestinal dryness and constipation. Pregnant women should try to eat less or no them.
