Lychee season is here and I have such strong cravings for it. Im in 1st trimester. Somebody said it makes body too hot during pregnancy, is that true na?
Lychees are highly nutritious, rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C. However, they have a high glycemic index, so if you are monitoring your blood sugar, eat them sparingly. It's always a good idea to confirm with your nutritionist.
In our house, elders sometimes say lychee causes 'body heat', but my doctor assured me that eating 4-5 lychees a day is perfectly fine. Just make sure they are fresh and clean. Trust your doctor's advice over old myths.
Yes, you can eat lychees, I ate them during my pregnancy and had no issues. Just don't eat too many at once because they can heat up the body or raise sugar. Moderation is key for everything.
I was actually reading about this because I love lychees! Apparently, they are totally fine to eat in moderation as they have vitamin C, but you should avoid them if you have high sugar. Can't wait to enjoy them when I conceive!
Go ahead and enjoy your lychees! My baby keeps me up all night now, but back when I was pregnant, eating fresh sweet fruits was my ultimate comfort. Just wash them well and don't eat the whole basket in one go!
