Can I eat star anise and cinnamon during pregnancy?

Pregnant women are not recommended to eat condiments such as star anise and cinnamon during pregnancy, because star anise and cinnamon are warm foods, which can easily lead to the appearance of fire after taking. And eating condiments during pregnancy is easy to consume the body’s gastrointestinal tract water, so that the body’s gastric juice secretion is reduced, easily resulting in constipation, gastrointestinal dryness and other phenomena, and in serious cases, excessive force during defecation in pregnant women will lead to increased abdominal pressure, which will cause pressure on the fetus in the womb, fetal movement, premature labor and miscarriage. In addition, MSG and other condiments should be eaten sparingly, as they can easily lead to a decrease in zinc in the body, which can affect the body of the pregnant woman and the nutritional needs of the fetus. It is recommended that pregnant women eat less condiments during pregnancy, eat a light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and have regular checkups.
