Its so hot these days and I feel weak by afternoon. My mom suggested glucon d in water for energy. But im 5 months pregnant so wanted to check first, is it okay to have or not?
Beta, Glucon-D has too much sugar in it. Instead of packaged drinks, try having fresh buttermilk, barley water, or homemade lemonade with a pinch of salt. These traditional drinks are much safer and better for the baby.
I am in my second trimester and drink it sometimes when it's very hot! Does anyone else feel like it instantly cures their weakness? Just make sure not to overdo the sugar.
Look, it is basically pure sugar. While it gives a quick energy boost during hot days, drinking it regularly can increase your gestational diabetes risk. Better to drink coconut water or fresh lime juice with less sugar instead.
Honestly, it's okay once in a while if you are feeling dizzy, but don't make it a habit. It is full of sugar and can spike your glucose levels. Stick to simple water or coconut water for daily hydration.
