We eat bhindi almost twice a week at home and suddenly someone said it's not good in pregnancy, now im confused yaar. Is there any truth to this or just a myth?
Why wouldn't it be safe? It is just a normal vegetable, not some medicine. Eat your bhindi roti happily, just don't make it too oily or spicy if you have acidity issues.
Yes dear, bhindi is completely safe and nutritious to eat during this beautiful journey. After my long IVF journey, I was scared of every vegetable, but my doctor assured me that green veggies like okra are actually great. Just make sure to wash it properly before cooking.
I can only tell you what I did during my own pregnancy. I ate bhindi quite regularly, especially since it helped me deal with my constipation. It was one of the few vegetables that tasted good to me when I had nausea.
Bhindi is actually very healthy as it has folic acid and fiber, which is great for digestion. Still, if you have any specific allergies or dietary restrictions, it is always best to double-check with your doctor during your regular visits.
Beta, bhindi is very good for health, it cools the body and is easy to digest. Just don't eat it very late at night if you are prone to gas. Cook it with a little hing or ajwain to make it lighter on your stomach.
