My mom keeps telling me to eat moringa, the drumstick leaves, says its full of iron. Im in 2nd trimester and slightly low on hb. Is it really good and how much can i have?
Moringa or drumstick leaves are highly nutritious, but like everything, eat them in moderate food quantities. If you are taking separate iron supplements, just mention your diet to your doctor.
Drumstick leaves are excellent for health, no doubt about it. They help increase hemoglobin naturally. Just make sure you clean them properly and don't eat them raw.
I had to feed two babies, so my plates were full of drumstick leaf poriyal for iron! It is absolutely safe and super healthy. Just don't overeat it to avoid any stomach upset.
I felt so weak in my second trimester, but my mother started adding drumstick leaves to my dal, and it really helped my iron levels. It is highly nutritious and completely safe to eat.
Yes dear, drumstick leaves (moringa) are amazing for pregnancy! They are rich in iron, calcium, and vitamins. Just wash them thoroughly and cook them well before eating.
I have heard from my family that drumstick leaves are very healthy because they have lots of iron. It is good to eat them cooked in dal or soup during pregnancy.
