Can pregnant women eat fish marinated for two days?

Pickled fish, also known as salted fish, belongs to a kind of pickled food with local flavor. Some female friends have a great preference for pickled food in their daily eating habits, but they should pay attention to healthy diet after pregnancy to avoid improper diet affecting the baby's healthy development. So, can I eat pickled fish as a pregnant woman?

1. Pickled fish is a kind of pickled food, which not only contains a lot of salt, but also contains some carcinogens such as nitrosamines. Pickled fish is not a healthy food to eat during pregnancy, so it is better to eat less or not to eat salted fish for the sake of health and safety during pregnancy.

2. Pickled fish also contains more nitrite, which is not only toxic, but also can synthesize carcinogenic nitrosamines from ammonia in protein food. Too much of these substances in the body will seriously affect health, so it is not recommended for pregnant women to eat pickled fish and other pickled foods.

3. A lot of salt will be added to the marinated fish in the production process to prevent the fish from spoilage, but it will make the fish taste particularly salty. Women should control the salt during pregnancy, and should eat less salt and light nutrition, and should not eat salty food. Excessive salt intake during pregnancy will increase the burden on the kidneys and risk inducing pregnancy complications. So from this perspective, we should also eat less or not eat this kind of pickled food.
