My grandmother insists I should have ghee every day during pregnancy for an easier delivery and a healthy baby. Is ghee really good in pregnancy? What are its benefits?
I just had my delivery and let me tell you, having one spoon of homemade ghee daily really helped with my digestion and joint pains. Just add it to your dal or rotis.
Yes, pure ghee is very nourishing for your body during this time. Just make sure to eat fresh, home-cooked food and consult your doctor about your diet to keep you and the baby safe.
Ghee is healthy, but be very mindful of the quantity, especially if you have gestational diabetes. Keep your portions controlled and focus on complex carbs and veggies instead of heavy ghee-loaded sweets.
It is very good in moderation, like 1-2 teaspoons a day. I balanced my ghee intake with daily 30-minute prenatal walks and light yoga, which my doctor allowed, to stay active.
Actually yaar, ghee is super healthy for your joints and skin during pregnancy. Just put a little bit on your chapatis, no need to drink cupfuls of it!
Ghee is great, but don't fall for the 'eat for two' logic and gulp down bowls of it! With my twins, my MIL tried to feed me ghee on everything, but my doctor said a spoonful a day is more than enough unless I wanted to double my weight.
