Everyone at ghar keeps giving me badam saying its good for baby's brain. I love them but eating like 8-10 a day, ab soch rahi is that too much during pregnancy? just wanted to check before I overdo it.
I panicked so much when I accidentally ate raw almonds because someone told me they cause body heat! But my doctor reassured me that they are perfectly safe. Just soak them overnight and peel them, it's actually super healthy.
Yes, almonds are very safe and packed with nutrients. Since I had thyroid issues, my doctor gave me a proper diet plan which included a handful of nuts daily. Just make sure to discuss your overall diet during your regular doctor follow-ups.
When I went to stay at my mother's place, she used to peel soaked almonds for me every single morning without fail. It is a traditional and safe way to get good nutrition during these months.
I can't give any medical advice, but I personally ate 5-6 soaked almonds every morning throughout my pregnancy. It kept my energy levels up and felt like a very safe, healthy habit for me.
My mother-in-law insisted I eat soaked badam daily with milk for the baby's brain development. I asked my doctor and she agreed it's very nutritious. Just peel the skin after soaking as it's easier to digest.
