Started cooking more in olive oil thinking its healthier. Also some people use it on the pet for stretch marks na. Just wanted to know if its actually beneficial during pregnancy or im just assuming.
During my IVF pregnancy, I was extremely cautious about my nutrition. I shifted to olive oil for cooking as it has healthy fats and antioxidants, which support the baby's growth. Just ensure you buy a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
I'm currently planning to conceive and trying to switch to healthier cooking oils. Is olive oil actually better than normal refined oil during pregnancy? Let me know if your doctors recommended it.
I totally understand wanting only the healthiest things for your precious baby! Olive oil is beautiful and rich in healthy fats, which helps your baby's development. You can cook with it or gently massage your belly with it.
With twins, my belly was growing at double speed, so I used olive oil to prevent dry, itchy skin! It's also great in salads for healthy fats, though keeping up with two babies means I barely have time to cook with it now!
Olive oil is highly nutritious and has great antioxidants, which are wonderful during pregnancy. I used to use it for light cooking and also applied it on my stretch marks. It is very gentle and safe.
