Aam season is here and i cant resist yaar. But my mom keeps saying mango garam hota hai and not good in pregnancy. Im in 2nd trimester, is it actually okay to have some?
I felt so happy when my doctor said yes to mangoes because it was peak summer during my pregnancy. I felt like it was the only thing that made me happy during those tough days. Just don't overeat them because of the sugar.
Yes, of course you can! Mangoes are packed with vitamins, so don't stress too much about the 'heat' factor people talk about. Just wash them well and have one a day in moderation.
Mangoes are actually a great source of Vitamin A and C, but they are also very high in sugar. My gynac advised me to limit it to half a mango a day, especially if you are at risk for gestational diabetes.
Yes, go enjoy the king of fruits! 🥭 Just soak them in water for an hour before eating to reduce any excess heat. It's a great natural energy booster! 😍
I've heard so many conflicting things about mangoes causing body heat. It's good to know we can eat them, because I absolutely love mangoes and would hate to miss them when I conceive!
When I was at my parents' place, my mother would always soak the mangoes in water for a few hours before cutting them. She said it neutralizes the heat. Having a small bowl of fresh mango with my family is one of my favorite pregnancy memories.
