Litchi season is on and i bohot love them yaar. But i heard somewhere that too much can raise sugar or cause heat in the body? Im 6 months along. Is it ok to eat a few daily?
My toddler now runs around the whole house, but I still remember craving cold lychees so badly in my second trimester! It's perfectly safe in moderation, just don't eat too many at once. Enjoy these sweet cravings, this time flies by so fast.
Yes, lychee is fine but keep the quantity in check because it has high natural sugar. Don't eat them on an empty stomach. Having 4-5 pieces a day is more than enough to satisfy your craving without raising your blood sugar.
Lychees are great for natural hydration, but always wash them thoroughly before peeling. Also if you feel any weird stomach pain, acidity, or allergic reaction after eating, immediately stop and ask your doctor. For normal days, a few pieces are a healthy treat.
My mother-in-law used to say lychee produces 'garmi' in the body, so she only allowed me 3-4 pieces a day. Actually she was right in a way because eating too much sweet stuff isn't good anyway. Just soak them in water for a bit before eating.
It is fine to eat but don't overdo it, especially because we have to do that gestational diabetes test later which adds to the hospital bills if positive. We saved up for all those regular blood tests, so keeping diet under control helps avoid extra expenses. Just eat 3-4 pieces occasionally.
