Pregnant women should be cautious when eating, as there are many foods in life that have abortion effects and must be avoided by pregnant women. But most pregnant women are having their first pregnancy and do not have experience with raising a fetus, nor are they aware of what foods in their diet are not suitable for consumption. Can pregnant women not eat barley kernels?
Da Mai Ren is a coarse grain with abundant dietary fiber, which has the effect of regulating the spleen and stomach, promoting digestion, and preventing constipation. Therefore, pregnant women can eat Da Mai Ren in moderation. Moreover, the variety of vitamins in barley kernels is relatively complete, with low fat content. Moderate consumption can lower blood lipids and have certain benefits for the physical health of pregnant women, which can prevent gestational hypertension.
However, pharmacological studies have shown that barley kernels have the effect of causing fetal movement, so pregnant women should not consume large amounts of barley kernels for a long time to avoid causing fetal movement anxiety and even the risk of premature birth. It is very safe to strictly control the amount of food consumed in daily life, with a maximum of 50 grams per time and no more than three times a week.
During pregnancy, it is recommended that pregnant women eat low-fat and high protein foods, such as fish, chicken, milk, eggs, etc., which are more in line with their nutritional needs. At the same time, pregnant women should eat fruits in moderation. Fruits can not only supplement vitamins, but also promote gastrointestinal digestion and prevent constipation during pregnancy.
