I just found out I'm pregnant and I want to make sure I'm eating right. What are the main do's and don'ts when it comes to food during pregnancy? I want to keep my baby healthy.
Haan, ghar ka khana is the best na! Do eat dry fruits, seasonal fruits, and dal-chawal. Don't eat half-cooked meat, raw papaya, or too much spicy street food. Thoda dhyan rakhna padta hai.
In my 3rd trimester, the 'do' is whatever doesn't give me heartburn lol! But seriously, do eat small frequent meals and don't eat heavy spicy dinners right before sleeping. Otherwise, prepare for a sleepless night of acidity.
Don't overcomplicate your diet. Just avoid raw papaya, pineapple, and high-mercury fish. Rest, eat your normal balanced food and make sure to wash your salads thoroughly. No need to stress over every single bite.
Beta, always eat freshly prepared warm food. Avoid stale food, ice-cold drinks, and papayas. Drink coconut water daily in the morning, it is very good for your health.
Keep it simple and realistic. Do eat fresh home-cooked meals, leafy greens, and nuts. Don't eat raw eggs, unpasteurized cheese, or outside food from unhygienic places to avoid stomach bugs. This will save you a lot of sick days.
