Getting pregnant is not easy. Raising another life in a healthy way means that a mother also needs to be very careful. Periodic check-ups with the doctor, taking pills at the right time, diet, daily activities, etc. everything needs to be taken care of.
Many people say that eating fruits is good for pregnant women. This is also true. But can you eat all the fruits just like that..? If asked, the answer is no. Consumption of some fruits during pregnancy is considered harmful for the health of the fetus growing in the womb. So let's know which are those fruits.
Papaya:
This is generally known to most people. It is advisable not to consume papaya during pregnancy. The latex content present in papaya fruit can contract the uterus and the chances of miscarriage are very high. Some people say that papaya fruit can be consumed after 3 months.
Pineapple:
Many people advise pregnant women not to consume pineapple fruits like papaya. There is a scientific reason behind this. Pineapple contains bromelain which softens our cervix. The possibility of miscarriage is also very high. But consuming a small amount of pineapple fruit after three months will not cause any problem. However, it is better to consume this fruit only after consulting a doctor.
Grape:
Consumption of grapes is also not considered good for pregnant women. This is because the highest amount of chemicals are used while growing grapes. Any amount of washing cannot completely remove the chemicals from grapes. These chemicals have the potential to adversely affect the health of the unborn child. Therefore, consumption of grapes is not considered very beneficial during pregnancy.
watermelon:
Watermelon has a lot of fans. Watermelon is always a favourite fruit in summers. But pregnant women are advised to stay away from watermelon. Watermelon does not cause any harm to the health of the uterus. Artificially ripened watermelons are more available in the market these days. These increase the blood sugar level in pregnant women. Therefore, watermelon can be consumed regularly.
Unwashed Fruits:
Eating any unwashed fruit from the market is not advisable for pregnant women. A lot of chemicals are used to grow fruits and maintain their freshness. And eating them directly is not good for the health of a pregnant woman and the baby for any reason. So mix some salt and turmeric in lukewarm water and put the fruit in it for a few minutes and then wash it thoroughly and consume it. Along with this, it can also be said that instead of keeping the fruits in the refrigerator and eating them, it is better to keep the fruits in the outside environment and consume them. Apart from this, before consuming anything during pregnancy, it is best to consult a specialist doctor and only then consume it.
