Even ovarian and healthy fish oil can harm.
If you are pregnant, the amount of coffee must be reduced, and alcohol is completely excluded. Everyone knows this.
But there are much more insidious foods. At first glance, they seem innocent and even useful. But in fact, they can harm your mother or the future baby more than a couple of cups of double espresso three times a day.
Here is a list of popular products that should be abandoned during pregnancy. Or think at least twice before eating.
1. Raw eggs
As well as products containing them: Gogol-mogol, home mayonnaise, raw dough, paste eggs, ovarian-glazing with raw yolk, tiramisu.
What is the danger
One word is enough: salmonellosis. This acute intestinal infection, fortunately, is not fatal, but is accompanied by severe diarrhea and vomiting, which can cause dehydration. But this is already bad: the normal blood supply to the fetus and the level of amniotic fluid in the uterus depend on the amount of moisture. Water deficit can result in disorders in the development of the future baby, as well as an increased risk of miscarriage.
What to do
If you refuse the eggs, make sure that they are thoroughly washed and thermally processed. Cooked hard -boiled eggs, omelet, baking are safe.
2. Raw meat
As well as steaks in the frying Rare (“with blood”), raw -button and dried sausages, poorly fried minced meat, for example, in fast food.
What is the danger
Raw meat can be infected with parasites. For example, toxoplasmes. They are able to penetrate through the placental barrier and cause serious violations in the development of the future baby.
What to do
Riding the meat from parasites is simple – how to thermally process it. If we are talking about dried or smoked products, their freezing will help reduce the risk within four days.
3. Raw fish
It is especially careful to be with river and wild oceanic fish, mollusks (oysters, mussels), dried, smoked fish of all types and land.
What is the danger
A spectrum of troubles that you can get by eating roll or jerky perch, wide:
- Like meat, fish can be infected with parasites;
- In the pulp, pathogenic bacteria are also found – for example, leafer or botulinum -bacteria, causing a deadly (for mom) botulism;
- River fish can be caught in chemically contaminated reservoirs – and all toxic substances will go to both mom and baby;
- Ocean fish accumulates mercury in itself. The shark, a sword fish, royal macrel and tile are especially dangerous in this regard. Mercury poisoning hits the health of both mother and the future baby – this element can cause damage to the brain and development delay.
What to do
There is only a cooked fish properly. You can take a chance with canned goods: just follow the expiration date and in no case use the product from swollen cans.
4. Liver
As well as liver paste and sausage, fish oil from the liver liver.
What is the danger
Too much vitamin A. Its overabundance can lead to the development of congenital defects in the fetus.
What to do
Do not abuse liver products. Especially if for some reason you take drugs with vitamin A. Yes, and in no case do not prescribe vitamins and dietary supplements for yourself – this can only be done by your doctor.
5. Soft cheeses
In the zone of special attention:
- soft cheeses with white mold – BRI and CAMAMBER;
- cheeses with blue mold – Gorgonzole, Rocher, Danish blue.
What is the danger
Due to high humidity and mold, such cheeses are an ideal environment for the development of all kinds of bacteria, including dangerous for the fetus. The same listeries, having entered the body of the future baby, can provoke severe developmental disorders, miscarriage or stillbirth.
What to do
The ideal option is to switch to hard cheese (Chedder, Parmesan, Studon and others): it is safe. Soft cheeses can also be consumed, but only if they are made from pasteurized milk. These are Mozarella, Feta, Ricotta, Creamy cheeses, Halumi, melted cheeses.
6. Nepasteurized milk
As well as yogurt and ice cream prepared from it.
What is the danger
Everything is in the same high risk of bacteria content. Nepasturized milk is a product that has not undergone thermal treatment. Therefore, the same deadly lustriars for the unborn child can be found in it.
What to do
Try to drink only pasteurized milk. If for some reason only raw is available, be sure to boil it before use.
7. Products with caffeine
This is not only coffee, but also green tea, chocolate, stake, drinks, as well as some drugs for colds and flu.
What is the danger
An excess of this substance can lead to the fact that the child will have a low weight at birth – and this increases the risk of health problems in the future. Sometimes the abuse of caffeine products provokes a miscarriage.
What to do
It is not necessary to completely abandon caffeine – just not use more than 200 mg per day. In order not to cross the line, focus on the approximate values:
- 1 cup of soluble coffee – 100 mg of caffeine;
- 1 cup of espresso – 140 mg;
- 1 cup of tea – 75 mg;
- 1 Cola bank (330 ml) – 40 mg;
- 1 bank of a dispenser (250 ml)-80 mg;
- 50 g of black chocolate – up to 25 mg;
- 50 g of milk chocolate – up to 10 mg.
We focus on once again: these are approximate numbers. But they can be used for calculation. For example, if in the morning you drank a cup of espresso, and in the middle of the day – a can of cola, you got almost 200 mg of caffeine.
8. Poorly washed vegetables and fruits
As well as berries that grow close to the soil are the same strawberries or currants on the lower branches of the bush. Freshly squeezed juices are in question, if you do not know how carefully the ingredients washed before cooking.
What is the danger
Bacteria that cause toxoplasmosis and botulism live in the soil. There is a risk that an apple raised from the ground or poorly washed carrots carry them on themselves.
What to do
It is impossible to abandon vegetables and fruits during pregnancy: this is part of a healthy balanced diet. But here to follow their purity – be sure to. The health of the mother herself depends on this, but, perhaps, the life of the future baby.
