My hb is slightly low so mom keeps adding beetroot in my salad and juice daily. Just want to be sure its actually safe and good thoda regularly during pregnancy. Anyone here eating it?
Yes, beetroot is very good. I ate it regularly along with my daily thyroid medication and kept my blood count stable, just make sure to do your routine blood checkups on time.
It is super safe and cheap too! I used to grate it and add it to my daily wheat dough or make a simple beetroot raita, which kept my hemoglobin levels perfect.
Beetroot is highly nutritious as it is loaded with folic acid and iron. However, if you are prone to kidney stones, it's best to discuss the quantity with your gynac first.
I had beetroot juice or salad almost every alternate day during my pregnancy. It really helped keep my energy up, and even now while breastfeeding, I focus on iron-rich foods.
