Aam season is here and im craving mangoes so much but my saas says avoid it, garmi karta hai. Im confused na. Are they actually fine to eat or should I really skip? Pls tell.
Mangoes are rich in vitamins, but they are also very high in sugar. It's always safest to check with your gynac first, especially if you need to monitor your blood sugar levels.
Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to be extremely careful with mangoes because they can spike your blood sugar levels instantly. If you do eat them, keep the portion very small and never have them as juice or shakes.
They are fine to eat, but don't go crazy and finish the whole bucket! With twins, I had double the cravings but had to limit myself to one small mango a day so I didn't get crazy acidity.
Oh absolutely, mangoes are life during pregnancy! I lived on mango shakes and slices, just make sure to soak them in water first to reduce the natural heat.
Haan beta, mangoes are good but don't eat too many as they produce heat in the body. Soak them in water for at least an hour before eating, and have them in moderation.
