11 Foods to Avoid During Pregnancy



11 Foods to Avoid During Pregnancy

Questions, especially food when you are pregnant. Here are 11 foods to avoid during pregnancy, and some alternative ideas to try them.

Bologna




Because it is a processed meat, bologna may contain bacteria called Listeria. Anyone can be affected by bacteria, but pregnant women reduces the immune system and are more susceptible to bacteria. Pregnant women are more likely to develop a serious disease called listeriosis, which can be fatal or lead to miscarriage or stillbirth in the second and third quarters. Bologna also contains sodium nitrite as a preservative, which has been identified as carcinogenic and can be linked to an increased risk of brain tumors in the fetus.

Instead of Bologna


Christina Pirello, host of Christina Cooks TV series, and author of The Way of cooking Whole Foods and the vegan life Crazy, proposes to substitute soy bologna avoid additives that are lunchmeats or to be more pure, tofu for protein and a smoky flavor. Try our delicious recipe for tofu patties.

Blue cheese


Did you know that source of bacteria is what gives blue cheese its color and taste? Soft cheeses such as blue cheese, cause about the majority of cases of listeriosis. During pregnancy, consume only pasteurized cheeses and other dairy products.

Instead of blue cheese

Pirello said to try soy, non-dairy cheese feta. You get the flavor you crave without saturated fat and mold.
Try our recipe for Edamame and Penne Salad with Feta.

Swordfish


Swordfish is one of several fish (shark, king mackerel, and tilefish), which can be high in mercury and should not be consumed during pregnancy. The mercury in the form of methylmercury, which can cause neurological damage in fetuses and young children. For more information, read Seafood is safe during pregnancy?


Instead of swordfish


Skip this and go for a completely white meat fish such as haddock for the "meat" texture you want, but stay safe, says Pirello. Try our fish with brown butter sauce for dinner tonight.

House Caesar Dressing


If you prefer homemade Caesar dressing the good old days with raw eggs, you may want to consider switching to bottle until baby arrives. Most experts agree that moms-to-be should never consume raw eggs because they may contain salmonella. Salmonella can cause gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain) and can also lead to stillbirth.

Instead of Caesar dressing

Go vegan, Pirello said. A vegan version with tofu is just as creamy and delicious and you will not Salmonella. Try our recipe for buttermilk dressing better.


Sushi


Although sushi grade fish has been frozen to kill parasites potential, there is still concern that raw fish can contain bacteria and viruses. Also, fish such as Ahi Tuna, typically used in sushi are higher in mercury content.

Instead of Sushi


Go vegetarian sushi and raw fish jump suggests Pirello. Avocado rolls and cucumber rolls are fresh, delicious, and safe. Cat Cora Try Thai Chicken Rolls coleslaw spring.

Cabbage


While sprouts look innocent enough and are an excellent source of vitamin C and other vitamins, it is best to avoid because they are waiting for another potential source of bacteria. Even after you wash the sprouts, they may still be contaminated with bacteria and viruses from several, such as E. coli.

Instead of cabbage

Sprouts have a distinct texture and are difficult to replace, but Pirello suggests shredding carrots or zucchini on your salad for a safe and healthy alternative.

Pasta



Pasta pasta spreads are usually made from finely ground mixtures or pieces of meat, such as liver or fat added. Add in spices, herbs, and sometimes wine, and many believe that this is a wonderful spread on crackers or toast points. Perhaps, but home versions are best skipped for now, as they may contain harmful bacteria. If you must have pie, choose canned.

Instead Pate


There are tons of pasta prepared vegetables on the market to meet this need and avoid saturated fats and additives in pie says Pirello. Or another alternative is creamy hummus.

Raw oysters


Oysters can contain a bacterium called Vibrio vulnificus, which can cause illness in some people. With no way of knowing if the bacteria are present and your weak immune system because of your pregnancy, it is a good idea to cross raw oysters in your menu.

Instead of oysters

While oysters can cause foodborne illness when raw, Elizabeth Ward, a registered dietitian and author of Expect the Best: Your Guide to Healthy Eating before, during and after pregnancy, says oysters are cooked considered fit consumption during pregnancy. "This is because the right amount of heat destroys the germs in food that can make you sick," she said.

Alcohol


Alcohol can have a negative effect on your developing baby. Alcohol can cause physical and mental birth defects, including fetal alcohol syndrome.

Instead of alcohol

Choose a glass of water or your favorite juice fruit 100 percent. Or cheer! Just because you're pregnant does not mean that your drink to be boring. Here are 8 great mocktails, sure to please.


Diet Soda


While artificial sweeteners found in soda have been deemed safe by the Food and Drug Administration, with the exception of saccharin, a study showed that soda drinking during pregnancy can increase the risk of preterm delivery

Instead of Diet Cola


Doctors recommend that you drink during pregnancy August 8 - 12 glasses of water per day, so it's best to skip the baking anyway and opt for good old H2O. Next to the bubbly? Try sparkling water, or something different all together, make a cucumber melon Agua Fresca, a pitcher of lemonade blueberry, or a refreshing cucumber and lemon water.

Licorice


OK, we can be picky here, but a small study in London showed that pregnant women who consumed licorice had elementary school children with elevated cortisol levels compared to mothers who did not eat the sweet sticky. Cortisol helps the body deal with stress, but too much of the hormone in the body has been linked to diabetes, hypertension and obesity in adulthood.

Miss the smell and taste of licorice? Try a dish with fennel. Orange-Scented white fish caramelized fennel and fennel crusted salmon on white beans have a licorice flavor and are a healthy part of your pregnancy diet.
