Let's take a look at the adverse effects of pregnant women drinking carbonated drinks such as cola:
Carbonated drinks generally contain many artificial sweeteners, acidulants, pigments, preservatives, spices and other additives. Drinking them regularly and eating too much sugar will increase the risk of gestational diabetes, and it will also pose health risks to the baby's future health. In addition, excessive intake of artificial additives by pregnant women is not conducive to the shaping of fetal taste.
Coke is a carbonated drink, which contains caffeine and will excite the central nervous system. Long-term drinking will not only make the fetus restless, but also hinder the absorption of iron and calcium. Pregnant mothers may be anemic, which may affect the oxygen supply of the fetus or affect the skeletal development of the fetus. Pregnant mothers are also prone to osteoporosis and their teeth are prone to fall off.
When contractions get worse, pregnant women drinking carbonated drinks will cause vomiting and nausea, so try not to drink them.
Carbonated drinks will increase satiety, and there is too much gas in the drink, which is easy to indigestion. Pregnant mothers with abdominal distension drink carbonated drinks and accumulate too much carbonated gas in their stomachs, which is even worse.
Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant mothers drink carbonated drinks as little as possible, DIY some drinks at home, such as lemon honey water and passion fruit lemonade, and drinking barley tea during pregnancy is also good.
Coke is a carbonated beverage containing caffeine, and pregnant mothers had better not drink it.
Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. Excessive caffeine intake by pregnant mothers will make the baby's fetal movement uneasy, which will increase the risk of low weight and deformity in the long run. In addition, cola also contains pigments, flavors and excessive sugar, which will increase the blood sugar of pregnant mothers and is not conducive to the health of pregnant mothers. Moreover, drinking carbonated drinks for a long time will also affect the body's absorption of calcium, which is not good for bone development. Generally carbonated drinks also contain preservative sodium benzoate, which is not conducive to the health of pregnant moms and babies.
Although a cup of cola or carbonated drinks will make people feel relaxed in hot summer, it is best for pregnant mothers to drink less or not to drink these synthetic drinks. In summer, pregnant mothers can also drink some yogurt, soybean milk, freshly squeezed juice, mung bean soup, sour plum soup and so on. Not only is it nutritious, but it also has the effect of refreshing and relieving summer heat!
