Im veg and trying to get more protein in my diet, 2nd trimester chal raha hai. Read mixed things online about soya so im confused. is soya milk ok daily or not?
Yes, soya milk is a great source of protein and calcium, which really helped me stay strong during my pregnancy and recovery. Just make sure to drink it in moderate amounts. Always ask your gynac if you are replacing regular milk completely.
My nutritionist at the hospital suggested soya milk as an option since I wanted to try non-dairy. They recommended choosing fortified versions for extra calcium. I'd highly suggest asking your hospital's dietician to plan your daily intake.
Soya milk is definitely a good alternative if you are lactose intolerant, as it provides solid plant-based protein. However, moderation is key since soy has isoflavones. It's always a good idea to discuss your dietary changes with your doctor first.
Soya milk is perfectly fine to have, but don't drink too much of it daily because of the phytoestrogens. A glass of organic, unsweetened soya milk now and then is a great option. Take care of yourself and eat a balanced diet.
It's quite good, especially if you don't like regular dairy milk. I used to have it occasionally with my breakfast. Just buy the one with no added sugar, and you're good to go!
