My saas keeps saying amla is very good for pregnancy, full of vitamin C. But raw amla is too khatta for me, cant eat it like that. Any nice way to have it that u tried?
Amla is generally considered very healthy, but you should definitely check with your gynac before adding it to your daily diet. Everyone's body reacts differently during pregnancy, especially if you have a sensitive stomach. Better to be safe and get a quick green light from your doc.
With both my kids, I ate one fresh amla every morning to keep my bowel movements smooth. If the taste is too strong for you, just grate it and add it to your daily mint chutney or coriander chutney. It works beautifully and prevents constipation without any issues.
Amla is packed with vitamin C and iron absorption boosters, which is excellent for pregnancy. Try to avoid eating it on an empty stomach if you are prone to acidity. Having a small piece post-lunch or mixing it into juice is a safe and practical way to consume it.
Having PCOS made me overthink everything I ate during my pregnancy. I used to have half a fresh amla daily with a pinch of black salt to help with my digestion, but I always avoided those heavy sugar-syrup amla murabbas. It's safe, but just keep the portion size very small.
I used to have constant nausea during my pregnancy, and small pieces of salted amla were my absolute lifesaver. Now my little boy is two and he loves amla too! Just don't eat too much at once, a small piece a day is perfect.
My mother-in-law used to make a simple amla pickle without too much oil, and my doctor also agreed it's a great source of Vitamin C. You can also mix a little amla juice in warm water, but always ask your gynac first if it suits your body.
Look, don't complicate it. Just buy fresh amlas, cut them into small pieces, add a little black salt, and eat. Don't go for those packaged sugary candies from the market, fresh is always best.
Fresh amla can be really sour and hard to eat daily, so I used to boil them, mash them with a little jaggery, and make a simple ghar ka jam. It's cheap, healthy, and keeps well in the fridge for a week. No need to buy expensive supplements for vitamin C.
When I asked my nutritionist at the hospital, she suggested eating fresh amla rather than the store-bought sweet candies which are loaded with sugar. She said grating a little fresh amla into salads or dal is the best way to get the nutrients without any extra preservatives.
I am currently in my 20th week and my mom suggested I eat amla murabba daily for baby's hair. I'm a bit scared if it will cause a cold or cough because it's sour. Did any of you eat it daily during your second trimester?
During my pregnancy, I had such bad heartburn and eating a tiny piece of sweet amla candy felt like heaven. It really helped me get through those rough afternoons when I felt so emotional and exhausted. Just eat whatever feels comforting to your body right now.
