In many regions, there is a saying that oranges should not be eaten during pregnancy as it can lead to jaundice in children. Therefore, many pregnant women dare not eat oranges during pregnancy. However, oranges have a sour and sweet taste, especially in the northern regions during winter, where they are very tempting. So, can we eat oranges in early pregnancy?
In the early stages of pregnancy, it is possible to eat mandarin oranges, which are a hybrid variety of oranges. They have a delicious taste and are rich in vitamins, which have the effect of reducing blood lipids in our body. Therefore, it is beneficial for pregnant women to eat some of them. They can also relieve morning sickness and increase appetite, so they can be eaten.
However, it should be noted that when eating oranges every day, the amount should not exceed 250 grams, which is about half a pound. If you eat too much, the amount of oxalic acid in your body will increase, which may cause some diseases such as urinary stones. If you eat oranges too much, you may also develop ulcers at the corners of your mouth or mouth cavity. If it is in the later stages of pregnancy, constipation may also occur.
After eating oranges in daily life, pregnant women should not drink milk because the substances in milk may react with those in oranges, affecting the absorption of the pregnant woman's intestines and stomach, and also easily leading to diarrhea. In fact, pregnant women should not overeat anything in daily life. Eating in moderation is suitable for the body's level.
