Everyone knows that walnuts have extremely high nutritional value. Pregnant women can supplement the fetus with nutrients after eating them, promote the development of the fetus's brain, and enhance brain function. However, no matter how delicious the food is, it cannot be eaten enough all the time. The best thing is to eat in moderation. So, how many months can pregnant women eat walnuts?
It is generally better for pregnant women to eat walnuts at three to four months old, from 26 weeks of fetal development to 2 years after birth, which is a crucial stage for the development of the fetal brain and retina. Although walnuts have high nutritional value, pregnant women should not eat too much. Eating too much will inevitably cause weight gain due to excessive calorie intake, which will affect the normal blood sugar, blood lipids, and blood pressure of pregnant women. Generally, eating four or five walnuts a day is enough, and the duration of consumption depends on economic conditions and preferences.
Walnuts are rich in nutrients, with 15-20 grams of protein, 60-70 grams of fat, and 10 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams. They also contain essential trace elements and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron for the human body, as well as various vitamins such as carotene and riboflavin. According to measurements, 500 grams of walnut kernels are equivalent to the nutritional value of 2500 grams of eggs or 4750 grams of milk, especially walnuts contain a large amount of calcium, iron, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and other components that are beneficial to brain nerve cells.
Generally speaking, walnuts are best eaten between breakfast and lunch, or between lunch and dinner. Walnuts can be eaten raw after peeling, or you can choose to make some Dim sum to eat directly at two meals, or you can eat steamed buns mixed with brown sugar after grinding, or you can cook Congee or make peach cakes to eat.
