      1. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that peaches are sweet and warm in nature. Eating too much will generate heat, which is especially easy for people to get angry. Pregnant women have a lot of heat in their bodies, and adding peaches will add fuel to the fire. Excessive consumption of thermogenic food may cause acute illness and bleeding in pregnant women.

      2. Some pregnant women will suffer from hyperglycemia during pregnancy in the later stages of pregnancy, and peaches have a high sugar content. Each hundred grams of peaches contains 7 grams of sugar. If you eat too much without restraint, it will damage the function of the pancreatic islets, cause blood sugar and urine sugar to rise rapidly, and aggravate the condition.

      3. Many people have the habit of eating peach kernels. Here we will also mention by the way that peach kernels contain volatile oil and a large amount of fatty oil. If the peach kernel is purged more than it is replenished, it can lead to poisoning. In the early stage, there will be nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, blurred vision, accelerated heartbeat, etc. In severe cases, it can lead to cardiac arrest. Especially pregnant women should not eat it.
