I felt so weak in my second trimester, but eating a small bowl of fresh bedana daily really helped boost my energy. My hemoglobin levels also improved. It felt like a sweet, refreshing treat during my difficult days.
Yes, bedana (pomegranate) is actually great because of iron and fiber, which helps with pregnancy constipation. Since I have PCOS, I was careful about sugar spikes, so I ate it in moderate amounts. Check with your doctor if you have high blood sugar.
It is super healthy! I used to have bedana seeds after my evening walks. Since my doctor had allowed 30 mins of light walking, this fruit was my perfect post-workout snack to stay hydrated and energetic.
Bedana is generally very safe and highly recommended for blood levels. However, if you are facing any gestational complications or gestational diabetes, it is best to ask your gynac about the exact portion size first.
Of course u can eat it. Bedana is full of nutrients and very good for baby's development. Just eat it fresh and don't buy pre-packaged juices from outside which have added sugar.
