Although cinnamon has the effects of warming spleen and stomach, warming liver and kidney, dispelling cold and relieving pain, removing blood stasis and reducing swelling. However, these effects of cinnamon are not helpful to pregnant women, but have certain risks, so pregnant women can't eat cinnamon.
Cinnamon contains mutagens, which may change the genetic function of normal tissues and cells of human body and make fetal genes mutate, so cinnamon is not conducive to the healthy development of fetus.
Pregnant women must eat less spices, because spices are easy to consume intestinal water, which will reduce the secretion of gastrointestinal glands and cause problems such as intestinal dryness and constipation. Once pregnant women have constipation, they will hold their breath to relieve constipation, increase abdominal pressure, oppress the fetus in the uterus, and cause adverse consequences such as restless fetal movement and premature delivery.
Pay attention to the diet in the second trimester:
1, the diet should be rich in calcium.
Calcium is an important component to form bones and teeth, help muscle contraction and maintain blood function, and it needs to be taken in large quantities in the second trimester. Sardines and dried fish are important sources of calcium, but choose foods with less salt. Dairy products, green vegetables, eggs, almonds and sesame seeds are all rich in calcium. High calcium food can improve the absorption rate if it is eaten with beef, pork and chicken.
2. Adequate iron intake
Iron intake can prevent anemia. Foods rich in iron include red meat and animal liver. If iron food is taken together with vitamin C, the absorption rate will be higher, because vitamin C can promote the body's absorption of iron. On the contrary, black tea, coffee and other drinks contain caffeine, which will hinder the absorption of iron in the body. Pregnant mommy can't drink these drinks before eating 1 hour.
Step 3 eat foods rich in cellulose
Eating more foods rich in cellulose can effectively prevent constipation, but it should be eaten in moderation to avoid affecting the absorption rate of calcium and iron. In order to get enough cellulose, pregnant women can replace white rice with miscellaneous grains rice, replace broth or chicken soup with vegetable soup, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat more than two kinds of vegetables every meal, and eat kelp, seaweed, kelp, seaweed and other foods with Shanghai algae every day.
