What foods can cause miscarriage? Here are 8

Pregnant women are a special group of people. There are many things they need to pay attention to in their diet, and there are many things they cannot eat casually. So today I will tell my female friends about what foods may cause miscarriage.

You should not eat longan, hawthorn, black fungus, coix seed, or anything that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis.

The old people say that you should not eat dog meat as it can cause miscarriage, but you should also eat crabs, longans, aloe vera, almonds, and purslane.

The following foods can easily cause miscarriage and should not be eaten by pregnant women;

1. Aloe: Data provided by the Chinese Institute of Food Science and Technology shows that pregnant women who drink aloe juice will suffer from pelvic bleeding and even miscarriage. For women who have just given birth, the ingredients of aloe mixed into breast milk will irritate the child and cause diarrhea. Aloe itself contains certain toxins, and the poisoning dose is 9-15 grams. People may generally experience poisoning reactions such as nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, and hemorrhagic gastritis within 8-12 hours after consumption.

2. Crab: It tastes delicious, but it is cold in nature and has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so it is not good for pregnant women, especially crab claws, which have obvious abortion effects;

3. Turtle: Although it has the effect of nourishing yin and benefiting the kidney, the nature of turtle is salty and cold, and it has a strong effect of clearing blood vessels and dispersing blood stasis, so it has a certain disadvantage of causing abortion, especially the abortion effect of turtle shell is stronger than that of turtle meat;

4. Coix seed: It is a food and medicine. Chinese medicine believes that it is smooth and astringent. Pharmacological experiments have shown that coix seed has an excitatory effect on uterine smooth muscle and can promote uterine contraction, thus it may induce miscarriage.

5. Purslane: It is both a herb and a vegetable, and its medicinal properties are cold and slippery. Experiments have shown that purslane juice has a significant excitatory effect on the uterus, which can increase the frequency and intensity of uterine contractions and easily cause miscarriage.

6. Black Fungus: Black Fungus is scientifically known as Morus alba. Although it is very popular among pregnant women because of its nourishing and stomach-benefiting effects, it also has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which is not conducive to the stability and growth of the embryo, so it is not suitable for consumption.

7. Apricots and almonds: Apricots are acidic and hot, and can cause miscarriage. Because the fetal heat is high during pregnancy, a light diet is generally recommended before childbirth. The hotness of apricots and their miscarriage-inducing properties are taboos for pregnant women. Almonds contain highly toxic hydrocyanic acid, which can cause fetal suffocation and death. Eating 7 to 10 almonds can kill a child. To prevent its toxic substances from passing through the placental barrier and affecting the fetus, pregnant women are forbidden to eat almonds.

8. Others: fennel, prickly ash, pepper, cinnamon, chili, garlic, pork liver, etc.

Foods that are harmful to the fetus: canned foods have additives, such as artificial synthetic pigments, flavors, preservatives, etc.; spinach contains a lot of oxalic acid, which can affect the absorption of zinc and calcium. The calcium and zinc content in pregnant women is reduced, affecting the growth and development of the fetus; chocolate and hawthorn make pregnant women feel full, thus affecting appetite. Hawthorn has an excitatory effect on the uterus. Excessive consumption of hawthorn by pregnant women can cause uterine contraction, leading to the possibility of miscarriage. Too many fattening agents are added to pork liver, which contains a high content of vitamin A, causing it to accumulate in large quantities in animal livers. If pregnant women eat too much pork liver, a large amount of vitamin A will easily enter the body, which is very harmful to the development of the fetus and may even cause malformations; potatoes that have been stored for a long time contain alkaloids. The longer the potatoes are stored, the higher the alkaloid content, which can affect the normal development of the fetus and cause possible fetal malformations; fennel, star anise, prickly ash, pepper, cinnamon, and five-spice powder can easily cause constipation; monosodium glutamate and sodium glutamate are combined with zinc in the blood and then excreted from the urine, which can easily lead to zinc deficiency; Longan and lychee: They are warm in nature and can easily cause fetal fever. Pomegranate: People with anemia should eat less. Pickled sauerkraut: They contain nitrosamines, which can cause fetal malformations. Watermelon: Do not eat more than 250g of fruit a day, and eat watermelon in limited amounts because it is a diuretic and can easily cause dehydration in pregnant women. Strong tea can easily cause excitement and iron deficiency anemia. It contains caffeine, which can increase the heart rate and urination rate of pregnant women, and increase the burden on the heart and kidneys of pregnant women. Coffee and cola-type drinks excite the central nervous system and can easily cause fetal malformations. Alcohol: It is an important cause of infant malformations and mental retardation.

The above foods should be eaten as little as possible or avoided if possible.
