My MIL keeps making jowar and bajra rotis instead of normal wheat ones, says its healthier. I do feel lighter but not sure if its good for baby in 2nd trimester. anyone eating these regularly?
Absolutely, jowar is a great complex carb. It has a low glycemic index, so it won't give you sudden energy crashes. Go ahead and add it to your daily lunch!
My grandmother always suggested eating millets like jowar and ragi as they are very traditional and healthy. I checked with my doctor too and she highly recommended it. It is very good for digestion.
Yes, jowar roti is amazing! I had GD during my pregnancy and my dietician made me replace wheat roti with jowar. It keeps sugar levels perfectly in control.
My doctor said jowar is rich in fiber, iron, and calcium, which are great for baby's development. It's a gluten-free option so it also helps if you have bloating.
It is generally considered very healthy, but still, please ask your gynac once if it suits your body type, especially if you have digestion issues. Always safe to double check.
