Im craving something khatta so badly and amla ka achar is all I can think about. But achar has so much oil and namak na, so not sure if its okay during pregnancy. Im 4 months. koi khaa rahi hai?
I am in my second trimester now and literally craving amla aachar with every meal! But I feel slightly anxious about the high salt and spices. Is anyone else eating pickles regularly? Did it cause any swelling or blood pressure issues for you guys?
Oh, sour things like amla aachar were the only thing that kept my severe morning sickness in check! The tangy taste really helps with that metallic mouth feeling. Just don't eat too much of it because the high salt and oil can cause bad acidity later.
Amla is highly nutritious as it is loaded with Vitamin C and antioxidants. However, pickles have a lot of sodium which can lead to water retention and high blood pressure during pregnancy. It is always best to check with your doctor first, especially if you have a history of hypertension.
Amla is good for immunity, but when you have thyroid issues, you have to be very careful with salt and processed foods. I used to eat a very small piece of home-made aachar occasionally. Just make sure to discuss your diet with your doctor during your regular monthly check-ups.
Haan bilkul kha sakte ho, amla toh bache aur maa dono ke liye bohot acha hota hai. Bas dhyan rakhna ki ghar ka bana aachar ho toh zyada acha hai, market wale mein preservative hote hain. Thoda hi khana par.
