Mom keeps telling me to have dry fruits daily and i love pista. Im in my 4th month. Is there a right way ya right amount, like soaked or raw, kitne khane chahiye in a day? dont wanna overdo it.
I'm planning my pregnancy and was looking up healthy snacks. Pistas seem like a great option! I guess eating them raw or slightly dry-roasted is the best way to keep them healthy.
I'm in my second trimester and I eat a handful of roasted unsalted pistas daily, but sometimes I worry if it's too much heat for the body? Did anyone else feel anxious about eating nuts?
A handful of dry-roasted, unsalted pistachios daily is excellent for protein and fiber. Avoid the salted ones as they can cause water retention. It's a great, healthy snack.
I always tell moms on this group that nuts are a lifesaver. You can eat 5-6 pistas daily, either raw or mixed in your morning kheer or milk. It's very good for your energy levels.
My mother-in-law advised soaking them overnight, but my doctor said eating a handful of plain, unsalted roasted pistas daily is perfectly safe and nutritious. I followed my doctor's advice.
Pistas are good, but since I had complications, I was very careful with my diet. It is always safest to ask your gynac about the right portion size of nuts for your specific condition.
Honestly, just open the packet and eat them! I used to munch on pistas during midnight cravings because they require no cooking. Just avoid the heavily salted ones to prevent swelling, lol.
