1. Can I eat bird's nest during pregnancy? The benefits of eating bird's nest during pregnancy
Pregnant women can eat bird's nest. Bird's nest has been a nourishing food since ancient times. Many pregnant women will eat bird's nest during pregnancy, thinking that it is good for the baby and has a good nourishing effect on their own bodies. The benefits of pregnant women eating bird's nest are mainly reflected in:
1, provide and supplement the nutrition needed during pregnancy and delivery. Due to pregnancy reaction and some external factors, pregnant women eat very little at the beginning of pregnancy and can only absorb limited nutrition. Bird's nest is rich in nutrition. It only needs to eat 1-2 spoonfuls a day, and the nutrition can be absorbed by pregnant women for three meals a day.
2. Supplement the "bird's nest acid" needed by the fetus. Early pregnancy, that is, the first three months, is the key period of embryonic development, and the nervous system and various organs of the fetus grow and develop at the fastest speed. Bird's nest contains neuraminic acid, an important component necessary for human body, which can promote the growth and development of fetus.
3. Prevent stretch marks. Many pregnant women can't say they have stretch marks. Bird's nest contains epidermal growth factor, which is a polypeptide molecular compound. It can stimulate the division, proliferation and differentiation of various cells, replenish collagen lost due to external stimuli, repair damaged skin, and thus prevent stretch marks.
4. Improve fetal memory. During pregnancy, if pregnant women can eat a certain amount of bird's nest, it will help improve the memory of the fetus. Because bird's nest is rich in protein and trace elements, these substances have considerable benefits for improving children's memory, and can also promote the development of fetal bones, making them stronger in the later growth.

Second, what brand of bird's nest is better and best, and how to distinguish the authenticity of bird's nest?
Of course, there will be many fake bird's nests in the market, and the price of bird's nests is also very high. Everyone should be cautious when choosing to buy them. Then let's see how to distinguish the authenticity and inferiority of bird's nest.
1, compare shapes. When buying bird's nest, there is no need to choose which bird's nest has a larger base and a fuller base. Often this kind of bird's nest is very easy to be adulterated. Because the base material will be coated manually after removing the hair and impurities in the base material to reduce the loss, however, the chemical components contained in this glue can easily destroy the nutritional value of bird's nest, thus deceiving consumers. For the natural bird's nest, its base is all fine hair, which looks natural although it is not beautiful.
2. Compare weights. Generally, the weight of pure natural bird's nest is between 7 grams and 10 gram. Even after manual hair picking, the weight will be 5 to 8 grams. This shows that if there are more than 8 grams of artificially processed bird's nest at the time of purchase, you should pay attention. This bird's nest is probably inferior bird's nest painted with glue.
3. Compare colors. The color of natural bird's nest is generally grayish yellow, and some are red. However, the color of artificially bleached and dyed bird's nest will look abnormal and have a chemical smell. Bleached bird's nest will contain a strong oxidant (H2O2). A large amount of food is easy to react with the human body, which will cause oral mucosal damage, serious damage to the liver, harm the human digestive system and even cause cancer.
4. Compare soaking time. Natural bird's nest has high water absorption, which will burst in about 3-4 hours, while inferior bird's nest coated with glue will take a long time to spread out because of the glue, and the texture is not clear and the spread is not obvious.
5. Compare the tastes. Natural bird's nest tastes smooth and elastic, including egg white. The artificially treated inferior bird's nest will have a chemical smell and may taste sour.
In terms of brands, there are many brands of bird's nest and many good brands. But when you buy bird's nest, you must look for the trademarks of these brands, because there are still many bad businesses in the market, and there are many bad and inferior bird's nests. Therefore, when buying bird's nest, we must improve our ability to identify bird's nest, otherwise it is easy to be deceived. As far as the brand is concerned, bird's nest is worth choosing as long as it is pure natural, has no additives and can guarantee the quality. For example, the brands selected in the global rankings are: 1, Yan Home 2, President Brand 3, 4, Exhibition 5, Old Expert 6, Long Biao 7, Yan 8 and punctuality Bird's Nest (note: in no particular order, for reference only). I suggest you choose bird's nest in the early stage. No matter the brand or quality of bird's nest, everyone must choose carefully. It is always right to shop around. Xiamen's "Yikangde" is a famous time-honored brand that nourishes the dry goods industry in the north and south, and has a history of many years.
Everyone should know the brand list of bird's nest and the brand encyclopedia of bird's nest. As for whether the bought bird's nest is wet and soft, and whether the hairy bird's nest can be bought, the bird's nest is soft and wet, which is a means for merchants to reduce costs. As long as the bird's nest is not moldy, it can still be eaten. Mao's bird's nest is picked directly from wild caves. For the sake of health, it is recommended not to eat this kind of bird's nest for a long time.
Finally, I would like to remind you that eating bird's nest is also about dosage and cycle. You can't overeat for a day, and you can't keep it at intervals. You should persist for a long time. If you determine a trustworthy brand and stick to it, there will be unexpected results!
