Yes, you can definitely have mixture or namkeen occasionally, I used to love eating it with my evening tea! Just keep the quantity in check because too much spicy fried stuff can trigger bad acidity later. Stay active and keep walking!
I actually asked my premium hospital nutritionist about this because I was craving spicy bhujia. She said a small portion is absolutely fine, but to watch the sodium and oil levels. If you have any swelling or BP issues, definitely check with your gynac first.
Honestly, it’s just namkeen, so yes you can eat it. It's not poison, just high in salt and oil. Enjoy a handful when craving, but don't make it a daily meal because it has zero nutritional value for the baby.
Try to eat homemade baked snacks instead of store-bought oily mixtures. If you get a stomach infection or high BP from too much salt, the extra doctor visits and medicine bills will just add up. Eat a little bit if you crave, but keep it clean.
Same here, I am currently 5 months pregnant and literally dying to eat spicy mixture with tea! Did your doctor say anything about spicy snacks? I try to eat only two spoons of it when the craving is too much.
I can only share my own experience—I ate a lot of spicy mixture during my second trimester because of salt cravings! It didn't cause me any issues other than mild heartburn. But everyone's body is different, so see how it suits you.
Oh yes! 😋 A little bit of namkeen mixture to satisfy your chatpata cravings is totally fine. Just make sure to drink lots of water afterward so you don't get bloated or dehydrated. Enjoy your snack time!
