Radha Kumar · Answer

Yes, dates are excellent! They give a quick energy boost which is great if you are feeling weak or nauseous during this planning phase. Just eat 2-3 a day, don't overdo it.

Absolutely, they are like natural sweet candies but actually healthy! Much better than eating dairy milk chocolates while trying to stay fit for conceiving.

Haan na, khajur are very good for health. They improve hemoglobin and give strength. My mother used to say to eat them daily while planning.

Poonam Joshi · Answer

Yes, dates are very nutritious. In our home, we also eat them with warm milk. But do consult your doctor for your pre-conception folic acid tablets too, as diet alone is sometimes not enough.

Sharada Iyer · Answer

I used to eat 2 dates every single morning when we were trying to conceive. They are rich in iron and folate which are essential during this time. Looking back, those small healthy habits really helped.
