My mom keeps telling me to eat dates daily for strength but i also heard somewhere they are heaty and you should avoid early on. Now im confused about when its okay to have them. Pls share what your doctor or elders said.
Yes, dates are safe and actually good, lots of iron and fibre. I ate a couple daily in my last trimester. Just keep the quantity sensible since they are sugary.
In our home elders always gave dates in the later months, they believe it helps. I had a couple a day soaked overnight and felt good. Just not too many, and your doctor can confirm whats right for you.
Dates are nutritious but I'll add a note since I had gestational diabetes, they are high in sugar so I had to limit mine and check with my doctor first. If your sugar is normal, a few are fine. If you have any sugar issue, ask your gynac about the amount.
