My hb is slightly on the lower side and aunty suggested chukandar daily for it. I like beetroot anyway but just want to be sure its ok during these months. Second trimester here.
Haan ji chukandar khaa sakte ho, bahut achha hota hai. Mummy used to give me beetroot sabzi and salad for khoon banne ke liye. Bas dho ke saaf karke khao.
Beetroot is healthy, just one small thing it does have natural sugar, so if you are watching sugar levels keep the juice portion small. I ate it cooked or in salad more than as juice. For most people its perfectly good though.
My doctor was happy I was eating beetroot, she said it helps with iron and folate. I'd add it to my salad and sometimes a small glass of beet carrot juice. Just wash properly since its a root veggie.
Beta chukandar is very good, in our family we always gave beetroot to pregnant ladies for blood. Have it in salad or juice. Wash it well and dont overdo, but its a healthy thing for your hemoglobin.
