Is it true that pregnant women crave acidic and salty foods?

Pregnant women are drawn to salty: true or false?

Some future mothers really start to suddenly love pickles. And someone, on the contrary, wants sweets, Or sour. Therefore, it would be more correct to say that pregnancy changes taste preferences. But how exactly and why?

There is an opinion that the body usually requires what it really needs. The change in taste is explained by the production of the hormone progesterone. He launches the so-called "search engine" of the necessary resources for the development of pregnancy. He determines where the deficit is, and builds a "program" in order to fill it.

The need for milk may indicate a lack of calcium. The desire to gnaw chalk or try clay is also about this. The need to drink beer is a sign of a lack of B vitamins. It can be replaced with rye and bran bread, spinach, herbs, seafood, brewer's yeast.

Most often, taste changes are not dangerous. But sometimes you want something completely inedible. If there is a strong desire to sniff solvent or gasoline vapors, an irresistible desire to eat earth, it is worth checking with a doctor for anemia. This can lead to an iron deficiency.

Usually, manifestations of taste preferences weaken in the second semester, and after childbirth they finally become a thing of the past.
