During pregnancy, pregnant women need to pay close attention to their diet and eat more beneficial foods. Many pregnant women think that milk tea has a good taste and a sweet aroma, and there should be no problem drinking it. Can seven month old pregnant women drink milk tea? Does drinking milk tea during pregnancy have any impact on the fetus? Below, the editor will give you a detailed introduction.
Pregnant women should not drink milk tea because the black tea in milk tea can affect fetal development. Black tea contains 2% -5% caffeine, with approximately 0.06 milligrams of caffeine per 500 milliliters of concentrated black tea. Caffeine has an excitatory effect, which can stimulate fetal movement and even harm fetal growth and development.
Drinking tea appropriately for pregnant women is still beneficial, but it must not be excessive or too strong. If you drink too much strong tea, it may cause pregnancy anemia and the fetus may also develop congenital iron deficiency anemia. The various components contained in tea are beneficial to the human body, including tea polyphenols, aromatic oils, minerals, proteins, vitamins and other nutrients. If pregnant women can drink 3-5 grams of tea per day, especially light green tea, it can strengthen heart and kidney function, promote blood circulation, help digestion, and prevent pregnancy edema. Green tea is rich in zinc, which can promote fetal growth and development.
The additive saccharin in milk tea damages the liver of pregnant women. saccharin, also known as sodium ethylaminosulfonate, is what merchants call honey water. Due to its low price, saccharin is often used in milk tea instead of honey. Sweetener is an artificially synthesized sweetener that has no nutritional value. However, excessive consumption of saccharin can harm the liver and nervous system of the human body, especially for elderly people, pregnant women, and children with weaker metabolic detoxification abilities.
Milk tea may also be added with pigment, essence, sodium cyclamate and thickener to add color and flavor. For example, papaya flavor, taro flavor, etc. are all derived from the pigment and essence in the fruit flavor powder. The excessive absorption of pigment, essence, etc. is very harmful to the liver, kidney and other organs of the human body. Chemical synthetic pigment is more toxic, purgative and carcinogenic to the human body. Long term intake of fruit flavored powder by pregnant women can affect the intelligence of the fetus and even lead to poisoning.
Milk tea contains a large amount of sugar, saturated fat, and trans fatty acids. Trans fatty acids can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, and for pregnant women, drinking milk tea is even less suitable.
After the introduction by the editor, I believe that pregnant women have already understood the dangers of drinking milk tea. During pregnancy, in order to maintain the health of themselves and the fetus, it is necessary to pay close attention to their diet, eat some nutritious foods for themselves and the fetus, such as protein rich foods, eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement various vitamins, and have sufficient and balanced nutrition to enhance physical fitness.
