Litchi is rich in nutritional value, contains a lot of fructose, vitamins, protein, citric acid, etc., which is beneficial to human body. However, traditional Chinese medicine believes that litchi is hot and humid. There is a saying that "one litchi has three fires". That is to say, eating litchi is easy to catch fire! So for pregnant mothers to be, can you eat litchi?
First of all, litchi is high in sugar, so pregnant women with gestational diabetes must not eat it.
Secondly, litchi is hot, so pregnant women with damp and hot constitution should eat less litchi. I specially went to the Internet to find out what is the hot and humid constitution. Specifically speaking, pregnant women with ulcerative colitis, litchi allergy (and this kind of Allergy & hellip;), hot constipation and acne, upper respiratory tract infection and pharyngitis, gum swelling and pain should not eat litchi, and those who know other hot and humid constitution are welcome to reply.
Third, litchi is on fire, so the mother who is on fire should stay away from it. If she is greedy and worried about it, she can try this method: drink some salt water before and after eating Litchi (cold tea and other fire-fighting ones can also be used), or take litchi peeled and soaked in light salt water and refrigerated. It not only has a good taste, but also can prevent false fire.
Fourth, pregnant women should never eat canned litchi. This is not the problem of litchi, but the canned food is rubbish. It's better not to eat it if you can.
Finally, some foods can't be eaten with litchi, but it's not because of the impact on pregnant women, it's just because it will damage its nutritional value. For example, eating carrot and litchi together will damage the vitamin C of litchi.
