      Can pregnant women eat salted duck eggs? Pregnant women cannot eat salted duck eggs, because eating pickled salted duck eggs will cause edema in pregnant women.

      Because estrogen in pregnant women continues to increase with the increase of pregnancy months, estrogen has the effect of promoting excessive retention of water and salt in the body. If a pregnant woman's diet is improperly prepared, it is easy to cause edema in pregnant women, especially salted duck eggs. Each salted duck egg contains more than 10 grams of salt, and the human body needs about 5 to 8 grams of salt per day. It can be seen that one salted egg contains more salt than a pregnant woman needs in a day. In addition to salted eggs, pregnant women also eat salty foods every day, which makes the salt intake far exceed the body's needs. In the human body, salt and water are twin sisters. Excessive salt consumption will cause thirst, which requires drinking a lot of water. The accumulation of water and salt in the body exceeds the excretion capacity of the kidneys, leading to high levels of edema in pregnant women.

      High degree of edema in pregnant women will drastically reduce the amount of effective circulating blood in the body to supply the placenta. fetus blood decreases, causing the fetus to Uterus Internal hypoxia affects the growth and development of the fetus. And due to placental ischemia, it is easy to trigger gestational hypertension Syndrome occurs, which is one of the serious complications of obstetrics.

      It is worth mentioning that, just like eating salted duck eggs, excessive consumption of pickled foods such as salted fish, bacon, pickles, sausages, etc. can also cause the above results. 》》》 Pregnant women must not drink it5Planting and drinking material
