My MIL keeps giving me badaam every morning and says zyada khao for the baby. But i feel like im eating too many na. How many soaked almonds is actually enough in a day?
Look, don't overthink this. Just soak 5 to 6 almonds at night, peel them in the morning, and eat. No need to eat 15-20 almonds, moderation is the real key here.
When I was staying at my mom's place, she used to give me 5-6 soaked almonds with warm milk every morning. It felt so comforting and healthy. Peeling the skin is highly recommended by elders and doctors alike.
I used to eat around 5-6 soaked almonds every morning. But honestly, every pregnancy is different, so it's always best to ask your gynac how many are safe for you. Sometimes too many nuts can cause heat in the body.
After my previous loss, I was so careful with my diet. I ate exactly 4-5 soaked almonds daily because my doctor said they are gentle on the stomach. Just peel them so they are easy to digest, and take it one day at a time.
I used to panic thinking what if I miss eating them even for one day. But it's totally fine if you miss a day! Having 5-6 soaked almonds daily is more than enough and very good for you.
My mother-in-law wanted me to eat a whole fistful, but my stomach definitely disagreed with that! I stuck to 5-6 peeled ones. Otherwise, instead of baby brain development, you will just end up with acidity!
In my house, my saas was very strict about this! She used to soak exactly 7 almonds for me every night and make me peel them in the morning. They say peeling them keeps the body cool, which is good during pregnancy.
My doctor mentioned that 6-8 soaked almonds daily are excellent for baby's brain development. She specifically told me to peel off the skin because the skin has tannins which make it harder for the body to absorb nutrients.
I totally understand wanting to get everything perfectly right, I used to worry about the exact number of nuts too! My family suggested having 4 to 6 soaked and peeled almonds. Don't stress too much about small things, you are doing great.
I just had my baby two months back, and throughout my pregnancy, my routine was 5 soaked badam daily. I used to keep them in water overnight and peel them first thing in the morning. It really helped with my morning energy.
