Question
I ate hot pot many times during my pregnancy, and now that my baby is born, I’m worried that eating hot pot might lead to the baby developing epilepsy or other strange diseases.
Answer
Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder caused by abnormal discharge of neurons. Patients should avoid overeating and under-eating, and strictly limit the intake of sugar and highly irritating foods. In addition, they should avoid eating foods that may trigger epilepsy, such as lamb, dog meat, roosters, wild ducks, carp, etc. Alcohol, strong tea, and coffee should be completely prohibited, and spices like pepper, chili, mustard, scallions, and garlic should be consumed in moderation. These are the suggestions for whether eating hot pot during pregnancy will affect the baby’s health. I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
