For the hot summer season, chilled longan is a great choice as it can help cool down without being too cold. For most people, this food can be used to nourish their bodies. And pregnant women can know that they absolutely cannot eat cold food. So, can pregnant women eat longan at five months old?
In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that longan has the function of tonifying qi and calming the mind, but its nature belongs to heat. If a pregnant woman has a constitution of internal heat or fever, it cannot be consumed. Moreover, most women will experience symptoms of yin deficiency such as dry stools, fetal heat, and liver meridian stagnation after pregnancy, so it is not recommended to eat longan.
But if pregnant women do not experience the above symptoms, as long as they ensure to eat less longan, it is still possible, because longan also has a good nourishing effect on pregnant women. After pregnancy, you can consult traditional Chinese medicine for diagnosis. If the doctor determines that there is fetal heat after pregnancy, you should eat foods that clear heat and cool blood. So for pregnant women with fetal heat, they cannot eat hot longan because it not only has no good effect on the fetus, but also may cause symptoms such as abdominal pain and threatened miscarriage.
Attention: Eating too much longan in early pregnancy is not beneficial as it can lead to fetal obesity, which can result in difficulties during delivery in the future. If pregnant women have diabetes after pregnancy, they should not eat longan with high sugar content.
