My mom keeps telling me to switch to jowar rotis instead of wheat for digestion. Im in my second trimester. Is it actually okay to have daily during pregnancy?
Of course dear, jowar is very healthy and light on the tummy. Elders at home always praised it for digestion. Mix it in your diet happily, nothing to worry.
Yes and actually jowar is great. When I had gestational diabetes my dietician encouraged jowar and bajra rotis coz they release sugar slower than plain wheat. Just keep portions in check and pair with dal/sabzi.
Totally, jowar is a good wholesome grain. I rotate jowar, bajra and wheat through the week so it stays balanced. Good fibre helps with the constipation too which is a real pregnancy issue.
Yes its fine and easy on the pocket too. Jowar atta is affordable and filling. Just eat a mixed diet overall, no single food should be the whole meal na.
