Question
A pregnant woman at 36 weeks, after discussing with friends, learned that she needs to remove toxins to avoid affecting the baby’s health. She wants to know how she should adjust her diet in the later stages of pregnancy to achieve this goal.
Answer
It is quite difficult to completely eliminate toxins during pregnancy, but dietary adjustments can help in expelling toxins from the body. It is recommended to avoid spicy and stimulating foods, maintain sufficient rest, and keep a positive mood. Avoid drinking cold water or beverages, and increase the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements. At the same time, pay attention to a healthy diet combination, consume more melons and vegetables, nourishing yin and moistening dryness foods, legumes, and seasonal fruits, reduce the intake of spicy, greasy foods, and ensure adequate water intake to maintain smooth bowel movements.
