Its mango season and im eating them like crazy haha. But we are also trying to conceive and someone said aam ki garmi is not good. Is that true ya just a myth? Pls tell.
I ate so many mangoes when we were trying to conceive, and now I'm pregnant and still craving them! Is it safe to eat them in the first trimester too, or does it cause too much body heat?
Beta, you can eat mangoes, but always soak them in water for at least an hour first. This removes the 'garmi' or heat from the fruit, making it safe for your body when you are trying to conceive. Don't eat too many in one day.
Arre absolutely yaar, eat them without any guilt! Actually, mangoes are super healthy and have great nutrients. Just soak them in water for an hour before eating to reduce any natural heat.
During my pre-conception checkup at the hospital, the clinical nutritionist told me mangoes are perfectly fine. They are high in sugar, so just watch the portion size if you are monitoring your glucose levels. Always clarify with your care team.
My doctor explained that mangoes are packed with folic acid, vitamin C, and iron, which are actually great for preconception health. The theory that they cause 'excess heat' and prevent conception is just a myth. Just eat them in moderation.
I am also trying to conceive right now and was avoiding mangoes because my aunt said they are too "hot". But they are my absolute favorite! Glad to know we can eat them, I'm definitely having one today.
