Pregnant women can eat KFC mashed potatoes.

Pregnancy is a very special period, because there is a responsible life in the belly, and pregnant women pay great attention to their diet and daily life. As a large fast food brand, KFC appears on every street to seduce pregnant women.

So is it okay to eat KFC when you are pregnant? Let's talk about the knowledge of pregnant women's diet from Baibai Safety Network.

KFC is mostly fried food, which lacks nutrition and is difficult to digest. During pregnancy, the uterus enlarges and oppresses the gastrointestinal tract, and the gastrointestinal digestion ability is poor. Eating KFC can easily lead to constipation and bleeding after defecation, and the oil of fried food contains high carcinogens after repeated heating, which is not conducive to the health of pregnant women and will also affect the development of the fetus. So pregnant women should be careful when eating KFC.

The harm of pregnant women eating KFC

1, most foods in obese KFC are high-calorie and high-fat foods, which contain a lot of trans fatty acids and are not easy to digest. Eating too much will cause the accumulation of oil, which will make pregnant women obese and increase the difficulty of pregnant women's production.

2, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases If you eat a variety of fried foods for a long time, trans fatty acids can reduce the cholesterol content, leading to an increase in the incidence of heart disease and vascular diseases, which seriously affects human health. Because trans fatty acids will increase the viscosity and cohesion of human blood, eating too much may also lead to the formation of knife thrombosis.

3. Starch food with the most potential carcinogenicity has a high content of enamide (carcinogen) after high-temperature frying, and repeated high-temperature heating of oil will also produce polymers-dimers and trimers, which are very toxic. Therefore, if pregnant women eat too much KFC, it will greatly increase the risk of cancer.

4, gastrointestinal discomfort KFC is mostly fried food, not easy to digest, pregnant women have weak gastrointestinal ability, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort, causing constipation, diarrhea, bleeding after defecation and so on.

5, affecting fetal development KFC has no nutrition, but it is easy to feel full, so that the fetus can not get enough nutrition, a lot of additives, preservatives, substances and so on. In KFC, it will damage the health of the fetus and affect the development of the fetus.

Therefore, it is better to eat KFC as little as possible during pregnancy.
