Pregnant women carry the prospect of losing their child when poisoned by various foods in their minds which does prevent their future children from being born on an unfortunate start. Varieties of foods such as papaya, pineapple, fenugreek, sesame seeds, and even fishes are marketed as risky during pregnancy months. However, such a perception is dangerous as avoiding such foods might leave one deficient in nutrients like iron, calcium, folic acid, and protein. This can lead to a chain of events that result in a person suffering from anemia, underweight or even being born before the due time. The review underlines the significant responsibility of health professionals in combatting harmful food assumptions. By using culturally accentuated methods of teaching, they can encourage pregnant women to optimum for a healthier option without shying away. The paper recommends that cultural factors related to health should be integrated into policies in order to promote the well-being of mothers as well as the fetus.
