Im just 6 weeks and so confused about food, everyone is giving different opinions. We use garlic in almost everything at ghar so i got worried. Is it ok in the early days or should i avoid?
Haan, bilkul kha sakte ho, koi problem nahi hai! North Indian food is incomplete without lehsun anyway, na? Just don't eat it in excess because it can cause a bit of acidity.
Eat whatever you can digest, honestly! In early pregnancy, I couldn't stand the smell of garlic at all, but if you like it, go for it. Just don't ask me to cook it right now!
In moderate culinary amounts, garlic is perfectly safe as it contains beneficial compounds like allicin. My doctor mentioned that only large medicinal doses of garlic supplements should be avoided as they can thin the blood.
I had such bad morning sickness that even the word garlic made me throw up. If you are able to digest it without feeling nauseous, please enjoy your meal! Just keep some ginger tea ready in case of acidity.
Garlic is actually great for regulating blood pressure and blood sugar. I used to add it to my low-carb meals, but just keep it to moderate amounts and focus on a balanced diet.
Yes, garlic in normal food quantities is absolutely safe and good for immunity. Since my PCOS made me over-cautious, I just avoided eating raw garlic in huge amounts, but normal vegetable dishes are perfectly fine.
When I was staying ghar pe, my mother used to put light garlic in dal to help with my digestion. It is very safe in food, just make sure it's cooked well.
