Its so hot here and ganne ka ras sounds amazing right now. But im a little worried about the roadside hygiene and sugar part. Did u all have it during pregnancy without any issue?
Sugarcane juice is great for instant energy, but only in moderation. I used to have a small glass on hot days and then go for my regular 15-minute walk, which my doctor had permitted. Just ensure it is freshly squeezed and hygienic.
You can definitely have it, but please make sure it is from a highly hygienic place. Roadside stalls often use dirty ice and machines, which can cause severe stomach infections. Better to make it at home or skip it if you are unsure.
It's fine to drink it occasionally, but please ensure it is absolutely fresh and prepared hygienically to avoid any bacterial infection. If you feel any stomach ache or fever after drinking anything outside, check with your doctor immediately.
Since I had a history of PCOS, my doctor warned me about sudden insulin spikes during pregnancy. I avoided sugarcane juice entirely because of its high sugar content. It's better to be safe and discuss your diet limits with your gynac.
Be very careful with sugarcane juice because it is loaded with natural sugars and can spike your blood glucose instantly. If you have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, it is best to avoid it completely and consult your doctor.
My mother-in-law used to get fresh sugarcane juice made at home for me to help with morning fatigue. It is very refreshing, but just ensure no unhygienic ice is added to it.
