My mother recommended I eat aval (poha) during my pregnancy. I wanted to confirm if aval is considered a good and healthy food choice for pregnant women.
The clinical dietician at my hospital put aval in my diet plan. It is highly recommended because it is easily digestible and keeps your blood sugar levels stable.
In the South, we make sweet aval and simple aval upma regularly. My family always said it keeps the stomach cool, and my doctor agreed it's an excellent healthy carb option.
Poha is love, yaar! Actually, it has great iron content and doesn't make you feel bloated, which is a huge plus during pregnancy. Just add some peanuts and veggies.
Oh absolutely! My kid is a toddler now but during my pregnancy, aval was my ultimate go-to breakfast. It is rich in iron, super light on the stomach, and totally safe.
Post my C-section, light foods like aval upma were a lifesaver for recovery. Pregnancy me bhi ye constipation nahi hone deta aur pachan me easy hai, so go for it.
