Everyone keeps telling me akhrot is good for baby's brain so i started having them daily. But how many is actually ok? dont want to overdo it. im in 2nd trimester. how much do u all eat?
Oh my god, I used to count each walnut piece and google if eating 5 instead of 3 would cause heat in the body. Honestly, keeping it to 2-3 walnuts is totally safe, don't worry like I did!
I was so paranoid about everything I ate after my loss. I only stuck to 2 soaked walnuts daily because they are warm in nature, just to be absolutely safe.
My mother used to soak 2 walnuts overnight and give them to me first thing in the morning. It's a very gentle way to start the day and good for baby's brain development.
Walnuts are expensive, so I used to buy them in bulk from wholesale markets to save money. Eating just 2 or 3 whole walnuts daily is enough, no need to overspend on too many dry fruits.
About 3 to 4 walnut halves per day is the standard recommendation. Still, it's best to ask your doctor or nutritionist during your routine checkup to see what fits your overall meal plan.
Beta, always soak walnuts in water overnight before eating. It reduces the natural heat of the nut and makes it easy on your stomach. 2-3 is a good number.
Having PCOS made me very careful about my diet during pregnancy. I kept it to 2-3 walnuts daily to get healthy fats without messing with my insulin. Ask your dietician if you are unsure.
Because of my complications, my doctor gave me a strict diet chart where only 2 walnuts were allowed. Please confirm with your gynac first as every pregnancy is different.
