My mom made til laddoo and stopped me from eating saying til is not good in early pregnancy. Im 10 weeks. Is there any truth to this or just an old belief? Confused honestly.
I asked the senior clinical nutritionist at my hospital about sesame seeds. She told me that having them in normal food quantities is perfectly safe, but to avoid large amounts like til gajak in the first trimester.
Humare yahan kehte hain ki shuruat mein til nahi khana chahiye kyunki yeh 'garam' hota hai. Safe rehne ke liye first trimester mein ise thoda avoid hi karo, baad mein sab theek ho jata hai.
I've also heard from elders that sesame seeds can generate heat in the body. Since we are trying to conceive, I am avoiding til laddoos just to be on the safer side.
Let's be realistic, sesame is in so many things we eat outside. Having a sprinkle on your bread or salad is completely fine and won't cause issues. Don't waste time stressing over minor food myths, just eat balanced meals.
Meri saas told me to strictly avoid sesame seeds in the first trimester because they are considered 'garam taseer'. To keep the peace at home, I avoided them, though my gynac said a little bit is fine.
Honestly, at this point in my third trimester, I'm too tired to filter out every seed on my burger bun! A little sesame won't hurt, just don't go eating a whole bowl of til laddoos everyday.
