My mom adds til to a lot of things at home and i love it. But ive heard sesame seeds ki garmi can be a problem in early pregnancy. Is white til safe ya should i avoid for now? Im in first trimester.
Honestly, you can absolutely eat them! This old belief that sesame seeds are dangerous is totally outdated and not backed by science. Just don't eat an entire box of til laddoos; moderation is key for everything in pregnancy.
There's a common myth in India that sesame seeds cause miscarriage because they generate heat, but scientifically, they are rich in calcium and iron. Having a tiny amount in food is completely fine, but if you are anxious, it's best to ask your gynecologist for reassurance.
Actually, my doctor told me that white sesame seeds are a powerhouse of calcium and fiber, which is great for pregnancy. The 'heating food' concept is mostly a traditional myth unless consumed in massive quantities. She suggested keeping it in moderation, like a teaspoon occasionally in dishes.
Yes, they are highly nutritious and great for bone health. I sometimes sprinkle a few on my salads or multigrain rotis before heading out for my daily evening walk. Just keep the quantity small and stay active!
I completely avoided them in my first trimester because my elders said they cause 'body heat' and I was too anxious to take any risk! Later, my doc told me a little bit is actually healthy, but honestly, if it's making you worry, just skip it till your 2nd trimester to keep your mind at peace.
