Information

Pregnancy is a period when women must take care of their diet. They must choose foods rich in vitamins and minerals that are good for the development of the baby. However, there are certain foods that can be consumed in moderation during pregnancy. The brain is one of them. Cervelas is a pork and spices pâté and is considered a little nutritious food. However, it is rich in protein, phosphorus and iron, making it an acceptable food during pregnancy. It is also rich in sodium and saturated fat, which may present risks to the health of the fetus if it is consumed regularly and in large quantities. Therefore, it is advisable to limit the consumption of brains during pregnancy. Pregnant women should only eat brains from time to time, in small quantities and with vegetables or other nutrients rich. They should also avoid consuming it too frequently to avoid health risks.
