My relatives advised me to include sesame seeds in my diet, but I'm trying to conceive and not sure if it's okay. Can we eat sesame seeds when trying to conceive, or should I avoid them? Please share your experiences.
Relax, a little bit of sesame seeds won't hurt at all! Many people say it produces heat, but eating it in small quantities like in chikki or on laddoos is completely fine. Don't stress over every little food item while trying, just eat balanced ghar ka khana.
There is no scientific study saying sesame seeds prevent conception or cause miscarriage in normal food amounts. They actually have good fats and minerals. Just eat them in moderation and don't overthink these old kitchen rules, you are totally safe.
Actually sesame seeds are rich in calcium and iron, which is good when trying to conceive. My doctor told me that normal dietary amounts like on burger buns or in dishes is 100% safe. Only excessive raw sesame seeds or oil in huge medicinal amounts should be avoided.
Keep your mind positive and trust God, everything will happen at the right time. About sesame seeds, you can have a little bit for taste, but avoid having too much of it. Take care of your health, do regular prayers, and let things happen naturally.
Oh, I was also so confused about til and papaya when we were trying! I actually avoided sesame seeds completely in my first trimester just to be extra safe. Is it really true that they can cause issues, or is it just an old myth?
I am also very confused about this because my MIL told me to avoid til laddoos during our trying phase. I don't want to do anything wrong, so I am staying away from them for now. It is better to be safe and eat other healthy seeds like pumpkin seeds.
