Is it safe to drink barley water during pregnancy?
My mum keeps telling me to drink jau ka pani for swelling and water retention. Im 7 months and have some leg swelling. Wanted to check if its actually safe before I start having it daily.
Yes, it's safe and very helpful for preventing UTIs and reducing bloating, which is great when you're sitting at an office desk all day. You can easily boil some barley in the morning, strain it, and carry the water in your bottle to work. Just drink it in moderation.
Yes, barley water is a lifesaver, especially for the foot swelling that makes you look like Shrek! I drank it often during my twin pregnancy to reduce water retention and it worked. Just don't overdo it, a glass a day is more than enough.
Barley water is highly beneficial for detoxifying and managing gestational hypertension or swelling. However, since it can sometimes cause minor digestive changes, it's best to consult your doctor before making it a daily habit. Always listen to your body first!
Barley water is excellent during pregnancy! It keeps your body cool, helps with digestion, and reduces swelling in the feet. I used to have it twice a week and felt so light.
