I usually include ragi atta (finger millet flour) in my daily diet as it's very nutritious. Is it okay for me to continue having ragi atta during pregnancy?
I actually got scared because someone told me ragi creates 'heat' in the body during the first trimester. But when I asked my doctor, she laughed and said it's totally safe and high in calcium. So eat it without any fear!
Why buy expensive multi-grain flours when simple ragi atta is so good? Mix it with normal wheat flour to make soft rotis, that way it won't feel too dry to eat. It's a very easy way to add calcium to your daily meals.
Yes! When I was at my mum's place, my mother used to make delicious ragi laddoos with ghee and dry fruits. It is very traditional and healthy for both mom and baby. Enjoy it warm!
Absolutely, ragi is a superfood! My MIL used to make warm ragi malt with milk and it really helped with my low energy. However, if you get severe stomach ache or constipation after eating it, check with your doctor.
Ragi is great, but since I had thyroid issues, I had to keep checking my weight and sugar levels regularly. It's safe, but always keep your gynac in the loop about your diet during your routine monthly checkups.
Oh god, I used to check everything before eating! Ragi is actually amazing and super safe, full of calcium. Just make sure to cook it completely so it doesn't cause any digestion or gas issues for you and the baby.
Ragi is best, ho na! It gives so much strength during pregnancy. You can make ragi bhakri or even simple porridge with jaggery. It is very healthy for us.
Definitely go for it, ragi is extremely cheap compared to all those expensive protein powders hospitals sell you. It keeps your hemoglobin up naturally, saving you money on extra iron supplements and tests. I used to make simple ragi rotis at home.
