Speaking of horseshoe cake, almost everyone has tried it, mainly a pastry made from horse hooves. It has a refreshing and smooth taste, and also has the function of clearing heat and detoxifying, which is highly favored by many people. Often, when we drink morning tea, we naturally place a portion of horseshoe cake on it. So, can pregnant women in the late stage of pregnancy eat horseshoe cake?
Pregnant women should be cautious when eating horseshoe cakes. Horseshoes, also known as ground chestnuts. The fruit is flattened, round and spherical in shape, crispy, sweet and juicy, with white and tender flesh, and delicious and refreshing. It is rich in nutrients such as starch, calcium, phosphorus, iron, protein, fat, thiamine, niacin, carotene, and various vitamins.
Many people are attracted by the rich nutritional value of water chestnuts. During pregnancy, they add seaweed and water chestnuts to make a soup called Er Xian Yin, which is used to prevent and treat conditions such as gestational edema, iodine deficiency, gestational hypertension, hemorrhoids, and rectal bleeding. Some people take horseshoe as a health food every day, washing, slicing, and frying 200 grams of horseshoe, fresh lotus root, and white radish each, and taking one dose daily to treat gestational edema. Many pregnant women who are afraid of trouble also use water chestnut juice as a tea drink to treat pharyngitis, glossitis, and hoarseness.
Although horseshoe cake is nutritious, many people do not recommend pregnant women to consume it. Horseshoe cake belongs to the category of cold and smooth products, which have a certain impact on late pregnancy and can promote uterine contractions, thus potentially inducing premature birth. Pregnant women who love to eat horseshoe cake should consider it comprehensively. If you are in the early stages of pregnancy, it is best not to easily come into contact with horseshoe cake, because during the period from pregnancy to the delivery of the fetus, it is not only necessary to ensure daily intake of nutrients, which is beneficial for fetal development, but also to avoid the adverse effects of ingesting horseshoe cake on the fetus, and even cause serious consequences such as fetal malformation and miscarriage.
Therefore, although horseshoe cake has a good taste and high nutritional value, and even has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, we generally do not recommend pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy to consume it because horseshoe has a cold nature, and eating too much can easily cause uterine contractions, which may cause discomfort for pregnant women and even lead to premature birth of the fetus. Therefore, it is best for pregnant mothers to avoid certain foods.
