Information

Eating gray during pregnancy can be risky because they are very rich in salt and nitrites, which can be dangerous for development and fetal health. Nitrites can be associated with complications such as hypertension, gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia, and pregnant women are more at risk of these complications. However, if you want to eat gray during pregnancy, you can do it, but in moderation. It is important to check the nutrition label and make sure that the gray is weakly salty and do not contain nitrites. It is also important to eat gray with healthy foods to compensate for their salt content. Avoid eating gray too often and opt for healthier foods such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
