My mom keeps telling me to eat khajoor daily, says its good for the baccha. Im around 5 months now. Is it really that beneficial or just an old saying?
I actually asked the nutritionist at my hospital about dates. She said they're good, especially towards the end of pregnancy, they can help soften the cervix. But she also said not too many because of the sugar content. It's best to check with your own doctor or hospital's dietician for proper guidance.
PCOS ki wajah se I was always worried about sugar levels. Dates are good, no doubt, but they are also high in natural sugar. So, I used to eat them very sparingly, like just one a day. Better to discuss with your gynac, especially if you have a history of blood sugar issues or PCOS.
I'd suggest asking your doctor about dates. While they are natural, they're also quite high in sugar. After my complications, I learned that even natural foods need to be moderated and cleared by the doctor. Don't just assume anything is totally safe without asking.
Dates are actually quite good for energy, especially in the later months. My mother used to say they help. Just don't overdo it, two or three a day are enough. They have natural sugar and fibre too.
Yes, dates are really good! My mother recommended them during my last trimester, and they gave me so much energy. They're also great postpartum, especially if you're breastfeeding, for that energy boost. Just a couple daily are enough, they are quite sweet.
