After pregnancy, mothers tend to pay more attention to nutritional supplementation. One should have enough nutrition for oneself and meet the needs of the fetus. Therefore, expectant mothers are particularly particular about food, not only delicious but also nutritious. Some expectant mothers love to eat cold drinks like taro ice cream before pregnancy. So, is it good to eat taro ice cream after pregnancy?
Pregnant women can eat taro ice cream, but taro ice cream is not a healthy food. It is good for expectant mothers to eat less to please their mood. However, if they are too cold and eat too many cold drinks, it may bring the following hazards:
1. Stimulating the gastrointestinal tract
Pregnant women's intestines are actually particularly sensitive to cold foods. Excessive ice cream can cause sudden constriction of gastrointestinal blood vessels, leading to a decrease in gastric juice secretion and a lack of gastric juice in the stomach, resulting in decreased digestive ability, loss of appetite, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and other problems.
2. Inducing respiratory infections
Unlike ordinary people, expectant mothers have congestion and edema in the mucous membranes of their respiratory system, such as the nose, throat, and trachea. Excessive cold drinks can stimulate the blood vessels in these areas, causing them to suddenly contract and reduce local blood flow. This weakens the resistance of these areas, making it easier for bacteria and viruses to attack the expectant mother's body, leading to respiratory infections and other inflammations.
3. Harm to the fetus
Excessive cold drinks can also stimulate the uterus, causing contractions and leading to miscarriage and premature birth; Cold drinks can cause sudden constriction of blood vessels, reducing the blood supply to the fetus and causing it to become anxious and restless, manifested as frequent fetal movements.
