The birth of a healthy baby is the goal of future mothers. Therefore, they carefully look after their health, proper nutrition and regularly receive the necessary nutrients and vitamins. With the latter task, red caviar is very good. Very often among mothers and doctors, the question is whether it is possible to eat red caviar to pregnant women. As they say, how many people, so many opinions - an unambiguous answer is not.
Caviar and its composition
In fact, caviar is the embryo of future fry, which means that it is very nutritious and contains many useful substances. So, 30% of caviar consists of protein, up to 50% of lecithin, about 13% of fat, easily absorbed by the body. It also includes silicon, calcium, sodium, iron, potassium, iodine, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and zinc. From the vitamin group here is vitamins B, D, E, A.
Caviar is a fairly high-calorie product in relation to milk, meat and other products of animal origin. So, in 100 g. Red caviar contains 270 kcal. Therefore, those who care about their figure to abuse it is not worth it.
Caviar and pregnancy
Pregnant you can eat almost anything. As for red caviar, it is even necessary for her to eat.
Proteins of red caviar promote normalization of arterial pressure and restoration of cells in the body.
The content of polyunsaturated acids, phosphorus, iodine and calcium excellently improves immunity, reduces the risk of blood clots, positively affects vision, stimulates brain activity, reduces the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, promotes better blood circulation, and also reduces the risk of certain cancers, which is very important currently.
The contained magnesium reduces the incidence of leg cramps, which is very often observed in pregnant women, iron - helps increase hemoglobin. But folic acid is very useful for a baby, as it participates in the process of development of hematopoiesis, organs, nervous system and fetal tissues. In addition, it prevents the development of malformations in the baby and the occurrence of premature birth.
Negative sides
No matter how useful the caviar, it also has negative sides:
- Caviar is very salty, and this contributes to the accumulation of water in the tissues, especially if there is a tendency to edema. Therefore, it is necessary to eat caviar to future mothers very carefully.
- With excessive consumption of caviar, the purines contained in it are very bad for the kidneys, promoting the formation of stones in them. And the kidneys of pregnant women - "ailing place."
- Red caviar is not recommended for another reason. The fact is that when preserving it, use a preservative such as urotropin (in common people - dry alcohol). Getting into the stomach, it under the action of hydrochloric acid breaks down with the formation of formaldehyde - a highly toxic poison that can accumulate in the body, both the mother and the future child. Formaldehyde affects the eyes, nervous system, liver and kidneys.
As an extenuating circumstance, it can be noted that, since July 2009, Russia issued a decree prohibiting the use of urotropine as a preservative.
But regardless of whether the law has come into force, there will always be low-quality producers who will release dangerous eggs to the market. Therefore, before you eat a spoonful of delicacy, think and weigh everything well. After all, you need a healthy baby, and he needs a healthy mother.
