Can pregnant women eat preserved fruit?

You must be cautious when eating preserved fruits after pregnancy, because a lot of sugar is added during the production process of preserved fruits, and eating these foods is very bad for your body. The water content of dried fruits is very low, usually only around 20%. Eating this kind of food will not provide enough water replenishment, and pregnant women are very likely to get a sore throat if they eat too much. Therefore, try to eat less preserved fruits after pregnancy.

The sugar content of dried fruits is very high. If pregnant women eat too much dried fruits, it may cause the baby to have an enlarged head circumference and become giant. During pregnancy, some pregnant women may develop diabetes due to eating too much preserved fruits with high sugar content. The processing technology of preserved fruits may cause excessive amounts of saccharin sodium and pigments. Some illegal vendors even fail to use and add additives according to national standards. Such inferior preserved fruits will endanger the health of the mother and fetus.

The high sugar content in preserved fruits also provides a good growth environment for mold. Mold exceeding the standard often occurs, which can easily cause gastrointestinal diseases during pregnancy. If pregnant women eat too much dried fruit, additives such as saccharin will also ruin their appetite. Although preserved fruits may seem small in size, they have a high energy density and eating too much of them can easily induce obesity during pregnancy. The acidic substances in preserved fruits can easily cause dental diseases in pregnant women, which in turn affects the absorption of the fetus.

When buying preserved fruits, you must choose carefully and look at the brand. Although there have been problems with products produced by well-known companies sold in large supermarkets, the probability is much smaller after all, and they are always more reassuring than products produced by small workshops. Therefore, try to choose a brand with a good reputation.

In addition, it is important to note that when eating preserved fruits, you must carefully check the production date. If the preserved fruits are expired, you must not eat them because the inside of expired preserved fruits are extremely susceptible to bacterial infection. Bacteria feed on the high sugar content in the preserved fruits. If you unfortunately eat such preserved fruits, it can easily cause diarrhea in pregnant women and make digestion difficult for pregnant women.
