Can pregnant women eat aconite in the early stage?

During pregnancy, women's physical fitness and immunity will decline to a certain extent. At this time, some families want to supplement the health of pregnant women through diet, supplements and even some Chinese medicine. What everyone should know is that during pregnancy, pregnant women cannot eat anything they want. Many medicines or foods are not helpful to pregnant women but may have an adverse effect on them. So, can pregnant women eat aconite when they just get pregnant?

Since aconite contains the toxic substance aconitine, pregnant women should not use it to prevent harm to the body and fetus.

Foods that pregnant women should not eat

1 Avoid eating crabs, kelp and turtles as they may cause bleeding and miscarriage in early pregnancy.

2 Avoid eating millet and horsetooth millet. Millet is also called coix seed, which promotes uterine contraction and easily induces miscarriage. Horse teeth can also increase the number and intensity of uterine contractions, which can easily cause miscarriage.

3 Avoid eating apricots and almonds: The hot nature of apricots and their characteristics of causing miscarriage are taboos for pregnant women. Almonds contain highly toxic substances. Eating 7 to 10 almonds can be fatal for children, so pregnant women should avoid eating them.

4 Avoid eating black fungus: because it has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, it is not conducive to the stability and growth of the embryo, so it is avoided.

5. Avoid eating hawthorn: Hawthorn has the effect of contracting the uterus and should be avoided.

6. Canned food: Because it contains additives, if pregnant women consume too much, it will be harmful to the baby.

7 Cold drinks and soda: Women’s gastrointestinal function weakens after pregnancy. Overcold food can cause sudden contraction of gastrointestinal blood vessels, weakening digestive function and causing symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. Soda will consume the iron in expectant mothers' bodies, leading to anemia and affecting the baby's development.

8 Spinach: The oxalic acid in spinach affects the body's absorption of calcium and zinc. If expectant mothers eat too much, it will reduce the calcium and zinc content in the body and affect the baby's growth and development.

9. Pork liver: Too many fattening agents are added to modern feed. The vitamin content in the liver is very high and accumulates in the animal's liver. Eating too much pork liver may cause malformations in the baby.

10. Long-stored potatoes: Because they contain high levels of bioalkali, eating too much will affect the baby's development.

11 Certain condiments: including pepper, star anise, cinnamon, five-spice powder, chili, etc., eating too much can cause constipation in pregnant women.

12 Fried dough sticks: A certain amount of alum containing aluminum is added to fried dough sticks. The aluminum can enter the fetal brain through the placenta and cause brain development disorders in the baby.

13. Caffeinated beverages and foods: Pregnant women may experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, headache, and rapid heartbeat after drinking large amounts of caffeinated beverages and foods. Caffeine can also enter the fetus through the placenta and affect fetal development.

14 Spicy food: Chili, pepper, Sichuan pepper and other condiments are highly irritating and eating too much can cause constipation in normal people. If women who are planning to become pregnant or are already pregnant consume large amounts of these foods, they will also experience digestive problems.

15 Sugar: The metabolism of sugar in the human body will consume a large amount of calcium. Calcium deficiency during pregnancy will affect the development of fetal teeth and bones.

16 MSG: Eating too much MSG can affect the absorption of zinc and is not conducive to the development of the fetal nervous system.

17. Ginseng and longan: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that most pregnant women have deficient yin and blood. Eating ginseng will cause excessive qi and depletion of yin, aggravating early pregnancy reactions, edema, and high blood pressure. Longan is pungent and warm and helps boost yang, and pregnant women are prone to bleeding and miscarriage after eating it.

Pregnant women who have read the above introduction should not eat aconite during pregnancy. Women and their families who did not understand it well at the beginning must pay attention now. Similarly, you should also pay attention to some dietary aspects. After all, pregnancy is a problem that concerns both the pregnant woman herself and the fetus, so you must not take it lightly.
