During pregnancy, fruits are an essential food for pregnant women to ensure that the fetus has sufficient nutrition. But pregnant women should not eat fruits casually, and there are also some things to pay attention to. Can pregnant women eat fruits on an empty stomach?
The answer is no. In fact, there are many fruits that cannot be eaten on an empty stomach. Once consumed, they can cause significant damage to the digestive system. Especially the following fruits should not be eaten on an empty stomach:
1. Banana
Bananas contain a high amount of magnesium, and once pregnant women eat bananas on an empty stomach, the magnesium content in the body will increase, and the balance of calcium and magnesium in the blood will be disrupted, which is detrimental to the health of the body.
2. Pineapple
Pineapple cannot be consumed on an empty stomach because it contains a high amount of proteolytic enzymes. If consumed on an empty stomach, it can harm the stomach. Additionally, when eating pineapple, it is best to soak it in diluted salt water.
3. Peach
Peaches contain a high amount of organic acids. If eaten on an empty stomach, they can promote intestinal peristalsis and cause discomfort in the digestive system.
4. Litchi
Litchi is rich in fructose, which can affect insulin secretion. Therefore, if you eat a large amount of lychee on an empty stomach, it is easy to develop hypoglycemia. Litchi is hot, so pregnant women should not eat too much.
