Can I eat crabs after giving birth? What should I pay attention to?

I believe that many people love to eat seafood. Except for people with allergies, seafood is rich in nutritional value and has great benefits to human health, especially crabs, which are even richer in nutritional value. Many people eat crabs to replenish their bodies after giving birth, while some people do not agree with eating crabs after giving birth. So, can you eat crabs after giving birth? Let's find out together.

1. Can postpartum women eat crabs? Crabs are cold and damp. It is recommended that postpartum women with cold body, poor spleen and stomach function or heavy moisture should not eat crabs. For the vast majority of pregnant women who are in good health, almost any food sold on the market and of qualified quality can be eaten. Although postpartum women are special, they are not "patients". As long as they follow the principle of a balanced diet and take into account the balanced intake of various nutrients and do not eat too much of a certain type of food, they do not need to worry too much about their daily diet.

2. Of course, there are individual differences, and only pregnant women with obvious special physical conditions should consider dietary restrictions. For example, some mothers have always had poor spleen and stomach, so they should not eat too much cold food, but they can still avoid it at all. In addition to being cold in nature, crabs are also a great food for pregnant women with allergic constitutions due to the significant changes in hormone levels during pregnancy, especially those who have had allergic symptoms from eating shrimp, crabs and other seafood in the past, so as to avoid allergic reactions.

3. Many postpartum women have a special liking for crabs. Experts say that if you want to eat crabs during the confinement period, in addition to eating less, you must also pay attention to some taboos about eating crabs. You must pay attention to which crabs cannot be eaten at different time periods. It is best not to eat dead crabs during the nursing period of new mothers. The parasitic bacteria in the dead crabs will multiply and spread into the crab meat, breaking down the protein and producing histamine. The longer the crab has been dead, the more histamine accumulates in its body and the more toxic it is. Even if the dead crabs are cooked thoroughly, the toxins are still not easily destroyed. Eating them can cause nausea, vomiting, flushed cheeks, rapid heartbeat, etc.
