My MIL keeps telling me to avoid grapes saying they cause heat in the body, but i honestly love them and theyre everywhere in the market right now. Is there any truth to this or just an old saying? what do u all do?
Beta in our times elders used to say avoid grapes in the last months because of heat, but doctors today say it's fine in normal amounts. Just wash them very well and eat a small portion, dont overdo it.
Grapes are fine but a small heads up, they're quite high in sugar. I had GD so I had to limit them and eat just a few. If your sugar is normal then a moderate handful is totally okay.
My family also had that old belief about grapes, but my gynac laughed and said eat them, just not in excess. They're refreshing especially in summer. Trust your doctor over the old myths na.
Yes you can eat grapes, they have vitamins and water content. Just dont eat a huge bowl in one go because of the sugar, and wash properly to remove pesticides. I ate them through both pregnancies, no issue.
