Parents & ChildrenHow to wash fruits and vegetables during pregnancy
Eating fresh fruits and vegetables is essential for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. However, it is crucial to take extra care when it comes to handling and cleaning produce to the risk of bacterial contamination. Unwashed fruits and vegetables can harbor harmful bacteria, parasites, and viruses, which may cause serious foodborne illnesses, such as Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and Toxoplasmosis. These infections can pose a severe threat to the health of both the pregnant woman and the developing fetus.
