Trying to eat healthier now in my second trimester and we make bajra roti a lot at ghar. Just want to be sure its good for the baccha and not something i should avoid. Anyone include it in their diet?
My saas made sure I ate bajra rotis with white butter during my second trimester. She said it gives strength to the back, and it actually tasted so delicious!
I had bajra rotis during my pregnancy and it really helped with my digestion. Even after my C-section, my doctor suggested eating fiber-rich grains to avoid constipation.
It's super healthy, but honestly, making bajra rotis when you're exhausted is a task! Eat it if someone else is making it for you, otherwise stick to normal wheat roti and sleep.
Bajra is very good for health, but it is warm in nature, so avoid eating too much of it during early pregnancy or hot summer days. Always pair it with curd or a little ghee to balance the heat.
Bajra is excellent for controlling blood sugar because of its low glycemic index. I substituted wheat with bajra and ragi rotis during my gestational diabetes phase and it worked wonders, but do check with your nutritionist.
Eating local grains like bajra is a great, affordable way to get your daily iron and fiber without buying expensive supplements. Saving on these small things helps balance out the delivery package costs later.
Bajra roti is great because it has high fiber and iron, but it can be a bit heavy and heating for some. Have it in moderation, especially during summer months.
I ate bajra rotis regularly during my winter pregnancy and it was so comforting. Just drink plenty of water along with it because millets can sometimes be slightly dehydrating.
