Couples who want to have an excellent baby should pay attention to their diet from the preparation period. Many people know that women preparing for pregnancy must pay attention to their dietary science, and men preparing for pregnancy are no exception. Many people believe that they should not eat crabs during the preconception period. Can I eat crabs during the preconception period?
Can I eat crabs during pregnancy preparation
When preparing for pregnancy, it is possible to eat crabs, especially for men. Crab based aquatic products can improve fertility and are beneficial for preparing for pregnancy. Women can also eat crabs appropriately during the preconception period, as crabs contain protein that is beneficial to the body. So if the family's economic ability is good enough, they can eat more crabs appropriately.
Food that cannot be eaten with crabs
1. Persimmons: Crabs and persimmons are two things that can be eaten in autumn, but they cannot be eaten together. The reason is that crab meat is rich in protein, while persimmons contain a large amount of tannic acid. These two substances react with each other to form protein that solidifies into lumps, which our stomach finds difficult to digest. So if someone eats both crabs and persimmons, it can cause discomfort such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
2. Strong tea: Chinese people like to drink tea, but when eating crabs, the best drink is lukewarm yellow rice wine. You'd better not drink tea before or after eating crabs. There are two reasons:
(1) Crab feet and gills inevitably carry some bacteria, which can be killed by drinking alcohol and vinegar. Our gastric juice also has a certain bactericidal ability, but after drinking tea, the gastric juice will be diluted, and the bactericidal effect will be greatly reduced;
(2) Tea, like persimmons, also contains tannic acid, which can cause gastrointestinal discomfort when consumed together;
3. Pear: Pear is a cool food that, when eaten with cold crabs, can damage the spleen and stomach, causing indigestion. People with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold should pay special attention;
4. Ice water and ice cream: Similarly, crabs are already very cold, and eating cold food can lead to diarrhea and gastrointestinal disorders;
5. Lamb meat: Lamb meat is sweet and hot in nature, while crab meat is cold in nature. Eating the two together not only greatly reduces the warming and nourishing effects of lamb meat, but also hinders the spleen and stomach. For patients with yang deficiency or spleen deficiency, this can easily cause spleen and stomach dysfunction, thereby affecting the body's vitality.
This article provides a detailed introduction to whether crabs can be eaten during pregnancy preparation, as well as the foods that cannot be eaten together with crabs. As a couple preparing for pregnancy, if you like to eat crabs, you can eat some appropriately. However, it should be noted that there are many foods that cannot be eaten with crabs, so be especially careful not to eat them indiscriminately.
