Peanuts are rich in protein and fat, and have a crispy texture. People usually stir fry peanuts to eat as food and drink. However, many pregnant women occasionally crave peanuts during pregnancy to satisfy their cravings. May I ask what benefits pregnant women have for their fetuses when eating peanuts?
Peanut is a type of nut food that is rich in fat and has high nutritional value. Eating peanut during pregnancy can promote fetal brain development. When pregnant women eat peanut with the skin, it can also increase platelet levels in the blood and prevent the occurrence of some bleeding related diseases. Moreover, when pregnant women experience severe vomiting in early pregnancy, eating raw peanuts can supplement the nutrients lost due to vomiting and ensure the absorption of nutrients by the fetus.
However, pregnant women should pay attention to consuming peanuts in moderation and not eat too much at once to avoid increasing the burden on the digestive system and causing gastrointestinal problems such as indigestion and bloating. When eating peanuts, one should also try to eat them as much as possible. Raw peanuts are richer in unsaturated fatty acids, which are more conducive to fetal brain development. Stir frying peanuts can also easily cause symptoms of excessive heat.
In addition to eating peanuts during pregnancy, pregnant women can also eat other nut foods such as black sesame, walnuts, almonds, etc., because nut foods are rich in trace nutrients and fat content, which are very beneficial for the development of fetal brain nerves and also help supplement nutrition during pregnancy, ensuring that the fetus receives sufficient nutrition.
