During pregnancy, women's gastrointestinal tract is very sensitive to the stimulation of cold and heat. Eating more cold drinks will cause the gastrointestinal blood vessels to contract suddenly, the secretion of gastric juice will be reduced, and the digestive function will be reduced, thus causing loss of appetite, indigestion, diarrhea, and even stomach cramps and abdominal pain.
Respiratory mucosa such as nose, pharynx and trachea of pregnant women. Often hyperemia and edema. If they eat a lot of cold drinks, the congested blood vessels will suddenly contract, the blood flow will be reduced, and the local resistance will be reduced, so that bacteria and viruses lurking in the throat, trachea, nasal cavity and oral cavity will take the opportunity to enter, causing hoarseness, cough and headache. In severe cases, it even induces upper respiratory tract infection or tonsillitis.
Eating cold drinks will not only make pregnant women suffer from the above diseases, but also affect the fetus. It has been found that the fetus in the abdomen is also very sensitive to cold stimulation. When pregnant women drink cold water or cold drinks, the fetus will be restless in the uterus and the fetal movement will become frequent. Therefore, pregnant women must eat cold food in moderation, and must not affect the health of mother and child because of gluttony and cold food.
