The specialist that the expectant mother turns to for registration always warns: now you need to eat right, paying attention to drawing up a healthy diet. There are food products that are urgently needed by the organisms of a woman and a child, but there are, on the contrary, those that can be harmful. Below are the main ones that you will have to get rid of during gestation.
6 foods pregnant women should forget about
1. Sausage and sausages
In addition to the outright harm due to the presence of carcinogens (in smoked sausages) and chemical additives (in any sausage), there is another negative property of the product. It contains listeria - a bacterium that is far from useful for the human body. Since the susceptibility of pregnant women to bacteria is much higher, then sausages, sausages and other similar products must be abandoned.
2. Meat, fish, eggs without heat treatment
Many parasites can be infected from raw meat, fish products and eggs, but the most common are salmonella and toxoplasma - harmful microbes. They cause severe intestinal diseases, which should not be allowed for pregnant women. Therefore, the use of jerky meat, poorly fried shashlik, sushi with raw fish, raw eggs is unacceptable!
3. Alcohol
Rarely, it occurs to someone to take alcohol "in position", but still there are fans of experiments. Alcohol leads to the birth of a sick child, with underdevelopment of organs and the nervous system, causes birth trauma, fetal alcohol syndrome. Autism in a baby after birth can be provoked even by minimal doses of light alcohol.
4. Coffee
Caffeine in any form is contraindicated, but only if abused. It leads to vasospasm of the placenta vessels only in significant dosage. Therefore, you can occasionally pamper yourself with a cup of coffee. But do not forget about other caffeine-containing products (tea, pastries, chocolate, etc.) so that the total amount of the substance is not large.
5. Blue cheeses
Listeria also live in such a product as gourmet blue cheese. This type of cheese should be discarded, at least until delivery!
6. Drinks "no extra calories"
In fact, all these drinks contain a ton of chemicals that are intended to replace sugar in them. It is not known which drink in the end will be more harmful - sweet or dietary, so it is better for the expectant mother to forget about both for a while.
