‘It looks like sushi’, says Mendigata after eating a piece of her placenta

Fernanda Lacerda, who became known as the Mendigata on the program Pânico na TV, gave birth to her first child, Gabriel, last Saturday (28). After having the baby, the model ate a piece of her own placenta.

In Instagram Stories, Fernanda asked the doctor to show the placenta and talk about the supposed benefits of placentophagy (which is the act of ingesting the placenta after birth).

“It’s good for replacing lost skin, giving more milk postpartum, a lot of it…”

explained the professional.

In the caption, Lacerda said that the practice also gives energy and reduces the symptoms of postpartum depression. “It looks like a ‘little sushi’. As hungry as I am, I would eat it whole. I found it delicious. I loved it, it looks like sushi, sashimi”, she said in the video.
