Many people have asked: Is zobo drink good for pregnant women? 

Well, the answer is likely NO. 

A research was carried out to determine the effect of maternal consumption of aqueous extract of Hibiscus Sabdariffa (Zobo) during pregnancy, on pregnancy weight gain and postpartum weight loss. From the experiment, they concluded that taking an aqueous extract of Hibiscus Sabdariffa during pregnancy decreases pregnancy weight gain and postpartum weight loss.

A similar study also on the the effect of zobo drink during breast feeding also showed that drinking zobo drink during lactation decreased maternal food and fluid intake, and increased postnatal weight gain all of which have adverse effects on their health.

Of course, Zobo is a healthy drink, but pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid consuming zobo due to its detrimental effects on maternal and child health.

Conclusion

Zobo is a very healthy drink with potent nutrients, and it offers great benefits to the human health including the regulation of blood pressure and cholesterol levels, treatment of Constipation Problem, Dealing with Kidney Diseases, Boosting of the Liver Health, Promotion of Weight Loss, and many others. 

However, it is recommended to minimize the additional ingredients so as to enjoy the full health benefits the drink comes with. To avoid the side effects of zobo drink, you need to consume it with moderation.

Pregnant and lactating women are also advised not to drink or minimize zobo drink consumption.

 

Sara Baartman passed away in 1816 at the age of 26.

The cause of her death is unknown. Nobody can confirm whether she died from alcoholism, smallpox, or pneumonia. French scientist Cuvier retrieved her corpse from local police and cut it into parts.

He made a plaster cast of her body, arranged her brain and genitals, and stuck them into jars which were placed on display at the Musée de l’Homme (Museum of Man) until 1974.

 

The story of Sara Baartman was reawakened in 1981 when Stephen Jay Gould, a paleontologist wrote about her ordeal in his book The Mismeasure of Man where he spoke against racial science.

After four years in London being forced to display her nakedness on the streets, in September 1814, she was transported from England to France, and upon arrival Hendrik Cezar sold her to Reaux, a man who showcased animals.

He exhibited her around Paris and reaped financial benefits from the public’s fascination with Sara’s body.

Reaux displayed her in a cage alongside a baby rhinoceros.

Her “trainer” would order her to sit or stand in a similar way that circus animals are ordered.

At times Baartman was exhibited almost completely naked, wearing little more than a tan loincloth, and she was only permitted that due to her insistence that she cover what was private. She was nicknamed “Hottentot Venus”.
