My mom keeps feeding me akhrot saying its good for baby's brain. I do eat it but just want to be sure how much is ok in a day. Anyone else having it regularly?
Akhrot are very good during pregnancy. I ate them regularly and they really helped my energy levels. Post my C-section, during recovery, I continued having them soaked in the morning for strength.
I can only share my personal experience, but I ate 2 soaked walnuts every morning throughout my pregnancy. It suited my digestion really well and kept my energy up. If you have any allergies or doubts, definitely ask your doctor.
Yes, akhrot (walnuts) are excellent for the baby's brain development due to omega-3. Having a PCOS history made me careful about healthy fats, so I ate 2-3 soaked walnuts daily. Just don't overeat them as they can generate heat, keep it moderate.
Walnuts are a great, quick snack to carry to the office. I used to keep a small box of walnuts and almonds in my bag for those busy working hours. It's an easy way to get healthy nutrition without spending hours cooking.
Yes, my tracking app had a dedicated food guide that highly recommended walnuts for brain development because of high DHA and folic acid. I used to log them in my daily diet tracker. They are super healthy, especially in the second and third trimesters.
