Trying to eat healthier this pregnancy and thinking of switching to ragi and jowar rotis. But my mom says millets are heavy and to avoid during this time. Is it actually safe to have them regularly?
Yes, millets are a regular part of our food at home and very nourishing. Ragi especially is good for calcium, my mother insisted on it. Just keep your meals varied and follow your doctor for supplements.
I added millets to keep my meals wholesome and filling. They have good fibre and kept me satisfied longer. Just rotate them with rice and wheat, dont eat only millets.
