Can pregnant women kill fish?

Although today's society believes in science, there are still relatively feudal ideas in the minds of some elderly people in the folk. For example, some people believe that pregnant women cannot kill fish. This statement has no scientific basis, but I personally recommend that pregnant women do not kill fish, mainly because pregnant women are prone to vomiting and other pregnancy reactions due to the fishy smell. Although it is not recommended for pregnant women to kill fish, there are many benefits to eating fish, and there are many types of fish that are suitable for pregnant women.

What are the benefits of eating fish regularly for pregnant women?

1. Fish meat is rich in high-quality protein, trace elements, unsaturated fatty acids, lecithin, vitamins, etc. The taurine and unsaturated fatty acids in fish are very beneficial to the fetal brain development and can directly affect the proliferation and maturation of brain cells.

2. Fish contains a special fatty acid. Eating fish regularly can keep the body's "happy hormone" at a normal concentration, which helps pregnant mothers maintain a relaxed and happy mood during pregnancy and is beneficial to the healthy development of the fetus.

3. Eating more fish during pregnancy is good for the fetus's vision development. The DHA and fatty acids in fish play an important role in the fetus's vision development.

4. The fatty acids in fish play an important role in preventing premature birth of the fetus and also play an important role in preventing depression in pregnant women.

Suitable fish to eat: whitebait, which is high in protein, replenishes qi and benefits the lungs, stabilizes the fetus, resists aging, and helps enhance the immunity of pregnant women. Fresh crucian carp can strengthen the spleen, reduce swelling, clear away heat, and is very helpful in reducing blood viscosity and promoting blood circulation. In addition, hairtail, cuttlefish, carp, herring, grass carp, deep-sea fish, etc. are also suitable for pregnant women.

Fish that should not be eaten: fish high in mercury, tuna, shark, swordfish, tilefish, and mackerel. Canned pickled fish, dried fish, salted fish. Fish from waters near chemical plants have excessive amounts of heavy metals, and the meat doesn’t taste fresh enough and has a strange smell.
