Is there a scientific basis for sour and spicy girls

China Eugenics Network.

21cn Health Channel reported that for a long time, there have been many statements about the sex and pregnancy of the fetus in China, especially in the vast rural areas. These statements are well-known, and many people really believe them. So, is there really a medical basis for these claims?

Not really! "Sour and spicy girls" can be described as a long-standing saying. For this reason, some families who are afraid of "desperation" are very happy if their wives and daughters-in-law are happy after pregnancy. If they like spicy food, they will treat the pregnant woman differently, and even force them to have an abortion, hoping that the next pregnancy will be sour and give birth to a man.

In fact, from a medical point of view, changes in appetite and taste in pregnant women, such as decreased appetite, sensitivity to smells, acidophilia or spicy craving, and even the desire to eat some foods that they usually do not like to eat, are normal physiological reactions of pregnancy. This is due to the fact that the endocrine activity of pregnant women changes more than usual, and the metabolic activity also changes, which in turn affects the digestive system. This has nothing to do with the sex of the fetus.

Pregnant women's tastes are also influenced by different regions and different family eating habits. For example, sweet in the south and salty in the north, spicy in Sichuan and sour in the west, etc., there is no significant difference with the sex ratio of newborns born to pregnant women in various places. It can also be seen from this that it is absolutely untenable to judge the sex of the fetus only from the changes in the taste of pregnant women.

No. Because I'm a good example of that.

In ancient times, because medicine was not particularly developed, if you want to judge the gender of a child, you will judge it by the food you eat. In ancient times, some women wanted to eat spicy food in order to be able to conceive their sons, but for the sake of the gender of the child in their stomachs, they would still force themselves to eat sour. In fact, there is no scientific basis for the statement of sour and spicy girl, so let's explain it to you.

Women want to eat sour or spicy after pregnancy, this is mainly according to their taste. Some women like to eat acid after pregnancy, this is because of the taste of acid, which can help appetizing, after pregnancy, the placenta will secrete a substance called villous gonadotropin, what women want to eat, mainly based on this substance to judge, this substance will inhibit the secretion of gastric acid. When women have morning sickness, they can eat some acidic foods to make their stomachs more comfortable.

All in all, there is no scientific basis for the statement that the sour child is hot, and the sex of everyone's child has been decided at the moment of successful conception.

There are some pregnant women who are pregnant, even if they want to eat spicy food, they can't indulge themselves, and there are many spicy foods on the market. Generally, pregnant women with a lot of oil and salt may cause some damage to the child in their belly after eating, so it is not recommended that the diet of pregnant women is too greasy. In the early stages of pregnancy, if you feel very uncomfortable in your stomach, you can eat some sour food, and spicy food can only be eaten after giving birth.

Whether it is a boy or a girl, it is the meat that falls from the parents, and you should love the child, and don't always think about finding some folk methods to determine the gender of the child. Hospitals are not allowed to tell the gender of the children, that is, there is a fear that some of the parents of the children will be patriarchal or female-preference.

Sour children and spicy girls are the experience of our ancestors in their long-term lives, but there is no scientific evidence to prove this statement.

In fact, there is no scientific basis for this, and you can't guess whether a boy or a girl is born through taste, and you can only go to the hospital for relevant tests, such as B ultrasound, to know whether it is a man or a girl.

There is no scientific basis at all, due to the difference in regions, and then some people like to eat sour, and some people like to eat spicy, which is normal, and has nothing to do with having a boy or a girl.

I don't think there is a scientific basis for this statement, it's just a folk saying, so we should look at it rationally.

Is it really related to the sex of the fetus if a pregnant family loves to eat sour or spicy food?

There is no scientific basis for the claim that sour and spicy women are pregnant, because pregnant women prefer to eat hot and sour food when they are pregnant. And the sex of the fetus is determined at a very early age and is not affected by nurture. Therefore, the eating habits of pregnant women have nothing to do with the sex of the fetus, and pregnant women should not believe the claims on the Internet.

This claim is unfounded and we should not believe it.

I also checked it on the Internet and found that this statement has no scientific basis, and there are many experts who have criticized this statement. And pregnant women should also read more scientific parenting books when they are pregnant, and don't always brush up on some things on the Internet and believe some statements on the Internet. There are a lot of scientific parenting books, which can make mothers understand a lot of parenting methods and make mothers very knowledgeable.

By reading books, you can make your mother understand that there is no scientific basis for sour and hot girls, so that your mother will be more knowledgeable and will no longer believe what is said on the Internet.

At the time of pregnancy, there will be a noticeable change in the taste of the pregnant woman.

When pregnant, the taste of pregnant women will be very different from before. For example, in the past, pregnant women were very fond of eating fish, but now pregnant women cannot smell the fishy smell of fish, and they will vomit when they smell the fishy smell. In addition, pregnant women will have less appetite, so they prefer to eat sour foods, which can promote the secretion of gastric acid and make pregnant women have an appetite.

And pregnant women also prefer to eat spicy food, because it is actually a kind of pain, which can make pregnant women's appetite better. Therefore, pregnant women are more fond of eating sour and spicy food, and we cannot judge the sex of the fetus conceived by pregnant women through their eating habits, which has no scientific basis.

Summary. When pregnant, pregnant women should read more scientific books, so that they can understand a lot of knowledge and will not be disturbed by the remarks of the older generation. If the older generation doesn't believe this, we can also take out the books and show them them.

This is actually unfounded, generally speaking, having children has nothing to do with what you want to eat, but generally speaking, whether you have a boy or a girl, your appetite will increase.

Without scientific evidence, there is no relationship between the child's gender and dietary status, and this statement is unscientific.

There is no basis for this. The saying is just some ancient legends, which are passed down among the people.

Unreliable, it is common for the taste to change during pregnancy, but it does not mean that the taste changes, and the sex of the fetus will change.

Everyone's taste is different, and the reaction during pregnancy is also different, so there is no scientific reason for "sour and spicy girl". People born in Hunan, Sichuan Province, are particularly fond of spicy food, and they have not found a high proportion of newborn females there. This just shows that the taste of pregnant women is related to the eating habits of different regions and families.

"Sour and spicy girls" are not without scientific basis.

After pregnancy, the change of hormone secretion in the female body will reduce the secretion of gastric acid, thereby reducing the activity of digestive enzymes, affecting appetite and even digestive function.

As a result, pregnant mothers will have decreased appetite, eosinophilia or spicy liking, odor sensitivity, and may suddenly become interested in foods that they usually don't like to eat, which are normal physiological reactions of pregnancy and have nothing to do with the sex of the fetus.

Similarly, there is a folk saying that "a girl with a round belly is a boy, and a boy with a tip is a boy", and a boy is diligent and a girl is lazy", which has no scientific basis.

Xie Na, who was pregnant some time ago, posted spicy beef jerky on Weibo, and netizens shouted "Sour and spicy girl, it's a daughter!" "Sour and spicy girls", you must have heard: if a pregnant woman loves sour, it is a boy, and if she loves spicy food, it is a girl.

Later, it was falsely rumored that people could mistakenly think that eating more sour during pregnancy could give birth to a boy, and eating more spicy food could give birth to a girl. Either way, there is no basis for a real hammer for "sour and spicy girls".

In fact, during pregnancy, it is normal for women to like to eat heavy food. We all know that we all need to be tested before we confirm that we are pregnant, and it is chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), a hormone that the placenta secretes.

HCG is a hormone that inhibits the secretion of stomach acid, which helps us digest, and when the stomach acid is gone, morning sickness will occur. At this time, pregnant women eat a little acid, which can help restore digestive function, and has nothing to do with the sex of the child.

As the old saying goes, sour children and hot girls, whether this statement is reliable or not, you will only know after reading it!

My dear, there is no scientific basis for this, everyone's personal physique is different, so the taste is different during pregnancy, some people like to eat spicy, but the child born is a boy. What a pregnant woman wants to eat is decided according to her personal nutrient needs, and has nothing to do with having a boy or a girl.

I believe that every mother should think like this, when she is pregnant, she wishes to give birth to him as soon as possible, because it is too uncomfortable, but after giving birth, she still feels a little uncomfortable, and I think the process of giving birth to a baby for new mothers is surprised and happy.

There is a certain scientific basis for this statement. Because eating some acidic foods or spicy foods will cause some chromosomal changes.

I don't think there is any scientific basis for this, because it's just a superstition on people's part, so we must look at it rationally.

Without any scientific understanding, it is particularly incorrect, and we should not believe such obvious words in life.

Many people have heard of the phrase sour and spicy girl, and to put it more simply and popularly, they say that when a woman is pregnant, if she likes spicy food very much, then half of them are pregnant with a daughter, and if they like to eat sour food very much, then most of them will be pregnant with a son. This is a phrase that many older generations will say, and it is also an experience passed down by them, but is there really a scientific basis for such a statement? I don't see it.

I think the reason why there is such a statement is because of the experience of the older generation, who may have a lot of people around them who are in such a situation, so they think that this is the case. But everyone's physical condition is different, this can't be generalized, you can't say that you like this kind of thing, then everyone should like this, it's impossible. They just rely on their experience, but they don't know enough about the outside world at all.

There are also some people who will say that the belly is a daughter, and the belly is a son, but in fact, it is also inaccurate, I think when I was pregnant, at first the belly was particularly sharp, everyone said that I was pregnant with a son, and then my belly slowly became round. But they also said that my belly button was protruding, and that such a phenomenon must be the boy who was pregnant. In fact, I didn't believe it and didn't want to believe it at first, because my husband and I both wanted to have a little princess.

At that time, everyone said that I must be pregnant with a boy, but in the end I gave birth to a lovely little princess. So I think such a statement is really inaccurate, and it is just an experience of the older generation. We can't say that their experience is completely useless, but it is true that they have no scientific basis, because science speaks with facts, and there is no reason to prove it.
