After pregnancy, women like to eat sour food. In the past, people used to think that women were pregnant with sons because of the saying 'sour and spicy', but in fact, this claim has no scientific basis. Women tend to eat sour food after pregnancy due to physical reasons. So, why do women want to eat sour food after pregnancy?
After pregnancy, women may experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, which are normal physiological phenomena. The reason why they prefer to eat sour food after pregnancy is that sour food can stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, increase their appetite, and improve the activity of digestive enzymes, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and help alleviate physical discomfort caused by pregnancy.
Women should consume acidic foods appropriately during pregnancy, as acidic substances can promote calcium absorption and promote bone growth and development, helping the fetus develop. Moreover, if women have anemia problems after pregnancy, they can consume acidic foods such as cherries, grapefruit, etc. appropriately to enhance their hematopoietic function, treat and prevent anemia.
During pregnancy, in addition to consuming acidic foods appropriately, women should also consume other types of food appropriately to ensure balanced nutrition in the body and promote fetal development. In addition, women should strengthen physical exercise, improve their immune system, and avoid getting infected with viruses and diseases. Women who feel unwell during pregnancy can go to the hospital for examination.
