Pregnant women can eat lotus seed soup.

Lotus seed is a kind of food with good fire-reducing effect, with high nutritional value and rich in potassium, phosphorus and iron. Phosphorus is very important for fetal bone development. Iron can avoid anemia of pregnant mothers, while potassium can effectively maintain the normal metabolism of pregnant women.

In traditional Chinese medicine, it has the reputation of lotus ginseng, which has a good effect of nourishing heart and moistening lung, strengthening yang and enriching blood, and prolonging life. Therefore, it is an edible food during pregnancy, especially suitable for pregnant mothers who get angry during pregnancy.

However, because lotus seeds are cool food, it is not recommended for pregnant women with cold constitution to eat too much, so as not to have some adverse effects on themselves and the fetus. In order to slow down the coolness of lotus seeds, you can use some warm ingredients to achieve a good warming effect, such as lily, red beans, red dates, tremella and so on.

Although lotus seeds have high nutritional value, they are not suitable for all pregnant women. For example, pregnant mothers with dry stools should eat as little as possible. If you eat lotus seeds with astringency and yin injury, it may affect fetal development. Besides, lotus seeds are bitter and cold, so they are not suitable for eating on an empty stomach.
