My MIL keeps giving me amla saying its good for immunity and baccha. Haan its healthy but how much is too much per day? Dont want to overdo it na. Pls tell how many you take.
Honestly, I'd ask my gynac for a number, I just ate it whenever MIL gave it, probably one small one a day in some form. It helps with immunity and iron absorption, which is good when you're feeling so drained and tired all the time! Bas zyada khatta na lage.
Amla is good for Vitamin C, but it's very acidic, so overdoing it can cause acidity issues. I'd say maybe 1-2 small ones max, or a small glass of diluted amla juice. If you have any health conditions like thyroid or acidity, just check with your doc first as it might affect you differently.
For anything specific like exact quantities of food items, I always found it best to directly ask the hospital nutritionist or my gynac. They give proper, personalized advice based on your health chart and trimester. Don't rely on general advice for specific dosages like this.
Amla is wonderful for immunity and Vitamin C! Usually, 1-2 small fresh amla per day is considered safe for most pregnant women, or you can have it as a diluted juice. Just ensure it's fresh and washed well. Don't go overboard as it's quite sour and can sometimes cause heartburn if consumed excessively.
Oh, my heart goes out to you for wanting to be so careful with everything you eat for your little one! Amla is indeed a powerhouse for immunity, but it's quite potent and acidic. I'd definitely recommend asking your gynac about the exact quantity that's right for you, just to be super safe.
