Due to the special nature of pregnancy, expectant mothers are prone to experiencing symptoms of internal heat caused by various factors such as diet and physiology. In the late stage of pregnancy, many pregnant women have a high degree of stomach fire, which can pose a certain threat to their health. So, what should be done if there is a high degree of stomach fire in the late stage of pregnancy?
1、 Drink more water
Drinking plenty of water can help expectant mothers in late pregnancy cool down the body heat caused by stomach fire, help dilute oral bacteria, reduce bacterial growth rate, and avoid bad breath problems.
2、 Eat more coarse grains
People with excessive stomach fire often suffer from damage to the spleen and stomach, and the fire in the stomach can easily turn into heat. Therefore, expectant mothers with excessive stomach fire are likely to experience symptoms of mouth ulcers. At this time, you can eat more coarse grains such as beans and millet, combined with some fresh green vegetables, which can reduce the stimulation to the stomach.
3、 Eat more light food
In late pregnancy, excessive stomach heat and eating lighter food are more conducive to the dissipation of accumulated heat in the body. Generally, severe stomach fire is caused by expectant mothers consuming too much spicy, warm, and dry food. Light foods can help balance this situation and effectively alleviate stomach fire.
4、 Eat more cool and detoxifying foods
For example, expectant mothers can eat balsam pear in an appropriate amount, and can also use lotus leaves and mung beans together to make porridge for drinking. Cool and detoxifying food can help expectant mothers alleviate stomach fire.
