Give up spicy food during pregnancy, it can burn the eyes of your baby.
Myth suggests that spicy foods eaten during pregnancy can burn the baby’s eyes, resulting in blindness. Spicy foods also have been blamed for miscarriages and the induction of labor. While those associations might sound plausible to some people, they aren’t real. Spicy foods can increase a pregnant woman’s risk of heartburn, however. Repeated heartburn during pregnancy may mean that the baby will be born with a head full of hair, if we are to believe another old wives’ tale.
Spicy food will not harm a developing baby. If eating spicy food bothers your stomach or you have an aversion to the taste, you can choose to avoid these foods. But you do not need to be concerned about your baby's health and development either way.
Not only is spicy food safe for your baby but it may have some benefits too. Spicy food may keep you healthy during your pregnancy and it may help prevent your baby from becoming a picky eater later on.
You can eat spicy food if you like to eat it. |
