My saas keeps giving me gur after meals, says its good for iron and all. Im in second trimester now. Is it actually fine to have daily or thoda limit karna chahiye? Curious what others do.
I was actually given gur in my recovery after C-section, they said it helps with energy. During pregnancy, a little bit is generally fine, but like any sugar, too much isn't good. If you're craving something sweet, a small piece can be better than processed sweets. But check with your doctor if you have any concerns like gestational diabetes.
Gur, haan, it's a good old thing, na? Many elders say it's better than white sugar, gives warmth, some even say it helps with iron. My nani always told us to have a small piece with ginger for sore throat. But beta, during pregnancy, everything in moderation. And if you have gestational diabetes, best to avoid and ask your doctor.
Gur is definitely better than refined sugar, it has more nutrients. I try to stick to natural sugars and whole foods for energy. Small amounts are probably fine, but remember it's still a caloric intake. For overall health, combine it with a balanced diet and some light activity if your doctor has given you the go-ahead.
Haan, I was just wondering the same thing! My MIL insisted I have a small piece daily for energy, especially as I'm feeling a bit tired these days. It definitely feels better than eating chocolates. Does anyone know if it really helps with iron or anything? I'm still asking my doc about it.
Yaar, gur is like, the OG natural sweetener, right? Honestly, I used to have it sometimes during pregnancy, especially if I wanted something sweet but not refined sugar. It has some iron and minerals actually. But of course, don't overdo it, it's still sugar! And if your sugar levels are high, then definitely no, better ask your doc.
Oh, I've heard this too! My mom always says gur is so healthy, especially in winters. I'm planning my pregnancy now and thinking of making that switch too from sugar. It seems like a good alternative for some natural sweetness and energy, but I guess it still counts as sugar so moderation is key, right?
