Beta, you can eat mangoes but soak them in water for a few hours first to reduce the 'garmi' (heat). Also, eat only half a mango a day during the first trimester.

Anika Bhadauria · Answer

Yes, you can eat mangoes. My doctor told me they are rich in vitamin A and C, but warned me to eat only one small mango a day because of the high natural sugars.

Ranjana Tripathy · Answer

Of course you can! Don't listen to old myths about mangoes causing too much heat. Just eat in moderation and don't overdo it.

Priya Prabhu · Answer

Yes, mangoes are perfectly safe in moderation, just wash them thoroughly before eating.

Yes, but be very careful with the portion size because mangoes can spike your blood sugar quickly. I had gestational diabetes, so I had to strictly limit it to a few slices.
