Types of foods that a mother should avoid during pregnancy, in order to preserve the health of her child

The Mayo Clinic medical website confirms that there are types of foods that the mother should avoid during her pregnancy, in order to preserve the health of her child, including:

Seafood that contains a large percentage of mercury

Seafood can be a great source of protein, and the omega-3 fatty acids found in many fish can promote a child's growth. However, some fish contain potentially dangerous levels of mercury that can harm your child's developing nervous system, such as king mackerel. Also, the larger and older the fish, the more mercury it contains.

-Avoid eating raw or undercooked seafood, such as “sushi and sashimi,” in order to avoid harmful bacteria or viruses. Seafood must also be cooked properly until its internal temperature reaches 63 degrees Celsius.

Avoid undercooked meat, poultry, and eggs

A woman's risk of contracting bacterial food poisoning increases during her pregnancy, and to prevent foodborne diseases, the "MAYO CLINIC" website explained that a pregnant woman must:

-Fully cook meat and poultry before eating and use a thermometer to check this.

- Do not eat hot dogs or luncheon meats, or cook them well until they become very hot, because they can be a source of a rare but serious food-borne disease known as listeriosis infection.

- Cook eggs well until the whites and yolks are together, because raw eggs can be contaminated with harmful bacteria.

-Avoid unpasteurized foods

Many low-fat dairy products, such as skim milk, mozzarella, and cottage cheese, may be a healthy part of the diet, but any food containing unpasteurized milk is off-limits, and these products can lead to foodborne illness.

-Avoid soft cheeses such as feta and blue cheese (Roquefort), unless they are clearly labeled as

pasteurized or made from pasteurized milk.

-Avoid drinking juices that are not pasteurized

Avoid unwashed vegetables and fruits

To eliminate any harmful bacteria, all raw vegetables and fruits should be washed thoroughly.

Avoid excessive caffeine intake

Although caffeine can cross the placenta, its effects on the fetus are unclear, and to be safe, your doctor may recommend avoiding or limiting the amount of caffeine in your diet to less than 200 milligrams per day during pregnancy.

-Avoid herbal tea

There is little data on the effects of certain herbs on children's development, so you should avoid herbal teas, even types marketed specifically for pregnancy and pregnant women, unless your doctor allows it.
