Pregnant women- advised- no sex, no meat

Doctors, generally advise pregnant women to avoid non vegetarian food. Reason is, meat ,eggs and other such food likely to make delivery difficult .

Normally gynaecologist s advise pregnant women to avoid red meat since it is fattening and tends to add too much of fat instead concentrate on fish, pulses ,lentils etc for proteins  , also avoid sex during the first three months since chances of miscarriage is maximum during that period..

I don't know about meat items but fish is very much permissible. Among Bengalis, fish is a staple food and it is very much consumed by the pregnant ladies throughout the period.   

What is the need for such advice in the first place? 

If the advice is based on health ground then it is fine but if any religious sentiment or morality attached to it then definitely, it 's no one's business.

Definitely, the advice is based on health Grounds. Because, the advice was given by qualified Doctors. Hence, there is no scope for Advice being given on religious grounds.

Meat is eaten by more than 80% of the world. Why the vegetarians of India have an issue with it and are all the time advising against it. Why can't they mind their own eating business and stop preaching. Do vegetarians not suffer the same type of diseaeses that meat eaters suffer from. It is irritating to suffer such self appointed moralists.

No. Meat eaters are more prone to ailments, may be life threatening ailments. Where as a Vegetarians are less likely to become the victims of life threatening ailments.

It is a widely propagated perception promoted by self appointed vegetarians. Take it or leave it.

I guess now rambabu thinks he is a dietician and a physician as well to speak about meat and its threats, life threatening ailments indeed !!! from where does he get these weird ideas from ? probably his own limited imagination ..

Meat, poultry and sea food are all very very rich in protein and unless vegetarians take special care they lose out on this which anybody can understand ..

I am not a dietician. But, I learned all about food  from the Book, " You are what you eat" and from a few Doctor friends.

You are jack of all trades and master of none. There is no subject beyond you. Only when you start stretching beyond your level of knowledge you go haywire but are too proud to either own up or give up. Carry on RAMBABU .

No doubt there are some concerns but unless we see the total picture , it is futile to come up with any conclusive opinion about the issue of eating meat. This is a very good article which covers a whole and of details ..

No one shall force any pregnant women not to have sex. Similarly, non vegetarian food items may be consumed if they like to have.

It is indeed a good article. Actually, we assume whatever we wish to according to our mindset and then start lecturing others without going into the details. I believe one can consume whatever he/she likes in moderation and no problem will arise.  

I read the article. The writer clearl says, it all depends on different conditions, under which, Meat is eaten.

Its a very good article and an eye opener too. Heard often that food cooked over slow fire is tastier. The article proves that it is healthier too to cook over slow fire and avoid very high temperature.

In the debate of veggie eaters vs meat eater, one keep forgetting that in both the cases being extreme is bad. Some months back, I read in a newspaper article that some people who are totally vegans to the point of avoiding anything animal products including milk and milk products tends to end up anaemic and unhealthy

Some doctors advise pregnant women to have sexual intercourse in particular months  in order to favour normal delivery. They recommend food stuff based on the health of the pregnant women.

On comparison, vegetarians have an edge over non vegetarians. One can lead a healthy life only with green vegetables, pulses etc without falling I'll. It is not so with non vegetarians. Living on only meat or onlychicken will definitely  lead to life threatening ailments.

No one lives only on chicken or meat. Non veg eaters also take vegetables in good quantities. Why must you forcibly try to say that veggies have an edge over non vegs.
