During pregnancy, pregnant women can cook various soups to drink. Cooking soup is not only nutritious, but also can warm the pregnant woman's body, making her feel warm after drinking soup. Pepper powder contains piperine and volatile oils, which make pepper powder more fragrant and spicy. It is a favorite seasoning for many people. So, can pepper powder be added to pregnant women's soup?
Pregnant women can add pepper powder to soup, but a small amount should be added. Pepper powder is a hot food and also a seasoning. Whether it is black pepper or white pepper, it should not be eaten too much. Adding some pepper powder appropriately can enhance the appetite of pregnant women, help digestion, and its smell can also make pregnant women have an appetite. It is more suitable for pregnant women with pregnancy reactions in the early stages of pregnancy to consume.
Pepper powder should not be added too much because it is highly stimulating. Eating too much can irritate the intestines and even cause other adverse consequences. If pregnant women have poor kidney function or high blood pressure, they should avoid adding pepper powder to soup to avoid irritation.
Eating too much pepper powder can also slow down gastrointestinal motility, leading to constipation. During pregnancy, in addition to pepper powder, other seasonings such as saccharin, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, etc. should also be consumed in moderation according to the actual situation. These seasonings can add aroma and enrich the taste buds of dishes, but be careful not to consume too much.
