Q: If a pregnant woman takes refrigerated foods regularly, what will be the effect of it on the baby?

A:Refrigerated foods per se are unlikely to cause any adverse effect on the baby. However, a balanced diet with adequate nutrients is the key issue. As long as fresh fruits and vegetables along with dairy products, grains are also being consumed (refrigerated or not), there should be no problem. However, spoilt and stale food should be strictly avoided. Whatever supplements are prescribed by your doctor must be consumed regularly.
