Pregnancy is the most delicate stage in human life that requires high quality and several types of food to meet maternal and foetal nutritional demands. During pregnancy, food taboo is practised habitually by Ethiopian women, suggesting that they are affected by macro and micronutrient deficiencies. In Ethiopia, there is a greater magnitude of food taboo practices during pregnancy. This implies the need for attention to eliminating harmful cultural practices of food restriction during pregnancy from concerned bodies. Therefore, appropriate nutritional policies and strategies focusing on food taboos during pregnancy are crucial to counter maternal and foetal health problems related to nutritional inadequacy.
怀孕是人生中最脆弱的阶段，需要高质量且多种类型的食物来满足母体和胎儿的营养需求。在埃塞俄比亚，孕妇习惯性地遵循食物禁忌，这表明她们受到大量营养素和微量营养素缺乏的影响。在埃塞俄比亚，孕期食物禁忌的情况更为严重。这意味着相关机构需要关注消除孕期限制食物摄入这种有害的文化习俗。因此，针对孕期食物禁忌制定适当的营养政策和策略，对于应对与营养不足相关的母婴健康问题至关重要。
