I want to make sure I stay healthy throughout my pregnancy. What are some effective ways or tips to increase immunity during pregnancy to protect myself and the baby?
I recently delivered my baby and during my pregnancy, I made a routine to have a cup of warm milk with turmeric and some soaked almonds every morning. It kept me away from seasonal colds and coughs. Just stick to basic ghar ka khana and you will be absolutely fine.
I used to panic and think I needed special expensive organic foods to boost my immunity, but my doctor laughed and said normal home food is best. Just eating dal, rice, green veggies, and some fruits kept me healthy throughout. Relax, your body's natural defense is stronger than you think.
I am currently planning my pregnancy and really want to build up my strength beforehand. I have started adding gooseberries (amla) and a glass of warm turmeric milk to my diet. Would love to know if these are safe to continue once I actually conceive!
I was so terrified of catching even a minor cold or covid during my pregnancy that I washed everything with hot water and overthought every sneeze! But honestly, simple things like home-cooked ginger-tulsi tea and citrus fruits really helped me. Just make sure to wash all fruits thoroughly before eating.
Look, don't run after fancy immunity boosters or supplements. Just eat fresh home-cooked meals, have seasonal fruits, drink enough water, and sleep for 8 hours. That is more than enough to keep your immunity strong during these nine months.
I am in my 2nd trimester now and constantly worried about getting sick, especially since we can't take normal medicines. I've started having amla and oranges daily for Vitamin C. Is anyone else also super paranoid about catching a cold right now?
