Saw somewhere that brazil nuts are good but i have no idea if they actually help during pregnancy. Trying to eat better in my second trimester. Does anyone include them in their diet? how many is even ok?
Beta, dry fruits toh accha hota hai sehat ke liye. Brazil nuts ke baare mein maine zyada suna nahi, par generally badam, akhrot ye sab khaate hain pregnancy mein. Jo bhi khao, thoda thoda khao aur taazaa hona chahiye. Acche se sehat banao.
Oh, I've seen these at the store! I'm planning my pregnancy soon and trying to learn about what foods are good. I heard nuts are healthy. Are Brazil nuts specifically good for anything particular, or just a general healthy snack? Good to know!
Brazil nuts are rich in selenium, which is good, but you need to be careful with the quantity. Especially if you have a thyroid condition like I did, selenium intake needs to be monitored. So please ask your gynac about how many you can safely have. Too much of anything isn't good.
Yes, Brazil nuts are actually quite beneficial during pregnancy, primarily because they are an excellent source of selenium. However, selenium can be toxic in high doses. Stick to just one or two nuts a day, max, to get the benefits without overdoing it.
My doctor actually recommended a few Brazil nuts to me! They are packed with selenium, which is really important for thyroid function and baby's development. But she stressed that just 1-2 nuts a day are enough, as too much selenium can be harmful. So moderate consumption is key.
While some nuts are healthy, with specific ones like Brazil nuts that have high concentrations of certain minerals, it's always best to ask your gynac first. They can tell you if it's suitable for your specific health needs during pregnancy and in what quantity. Don't take risks with diet.
