SPICY FOODS DURING PREGNANCY
A frequent question my pregnant clients ask me is if it’s safe to eat spicy foods during pregnancy. The answer is yes!
It is safe to eat spicy foods during pregnancy-many cultures around the world have been doing so without problems for a long time.
The biggest complaint a pregnant woman who eats spicy foods may have is heart burn, but not all will to the same extent. It is a very individual experience. Heartburn symptoms might increase as the pregnancy progresses, because the stomach is closer to the throat due to the baby growing in size. Another reason for heartburn from eating spicy foods during pregnancy is due to progestin which causes the sphincter muscle at the top of the stomach to relax (food and stomach acid can then back up into the esophagus).
A couple of common myths associated with eating spicy food during pregnancy are...
…marking up the babies skin
…giving baby less head hair
…bringing on labor
These are all myths and bear no truth. Try as she might, a pregnant woman approaching her due date will have no success in brining on labor from eating a spicy dish.
Here are some interesting fun facts about spicy food.
• Baby can “taste” the flavor of foods eaten by mom while in the womb
• The hotter the pepper the more magnesium it has
• Spicy foods are a source of many vitamins and minerals
I recommend women to go ahead and eat spicy foods while pregnant if they so desire, but to take it slow. It’s a good idea to start with a few bites or combine with cooling foods like yogurt. It is also important to make sure spicy foods are not high in sodium. Sodium can cause fluid retention and increase blood pressure.
