I believe eating in moderation. In the past, people believed that cooling foods like kangkong, papaya, pineapple, citrus fruits, grass jelly and green bananas should be avoided as they may lead to miscarriage. However, this is not scientific proven. There is no documented case of miscarriage from eating these foods. There is also no scientific evidence that you should avoid “cooling” foods as well as fruits and vegetables when you’re pregnant. However, there is no harm in avoiding only one or two foods, including these foods during pregnancy. Remember, eating a healthy and well-balanced diet with foods from the four food groups depicted in “My Healthy Plate” is the best way to obtain optimal nutrition during pregnancy.
