Milk and sweet potato soup
Overview
Sweet potatoes are rich in starch, vitamins, cellulose and other essential nutrients for the human body. They are also rich in mineral elements such as magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and linoleic acid. Sweet potatoes contain a large amount of cellulose and pectin that are not easily destroyed by digestive enzymes, which can stimulate the secretion of digestive juices and gastrointestinal motility, thus having a laxative effect. Plus, its rich content of beta-carotene is a potent antioxidant that helps scavenge free radicals in the body. During the third trimester of pregnancy, pregnant women often feel distended in their lower abdomen due to the falling fetal position, and their digestive function may become poor. At the same time, they may also suffer from constipation, frequent urination, edema and other symptoms. At this time, often giving pregnant women some sweet potatoes can prevent constipation during pregnancy.
