Yes, it is excellent. Pumpkin seeds are also great for zinc and magnesium, so don't throw them away. Just roast them lightly and have them as a snack, but avoid eating too much sweet pumpkin halwa.
Oh, I was actually wondering about this too! I love roasted pumpkin but was worried if it generates heat in the body. Do you guys eat it as a soup or in regular sabzi?
Actually, my pregnancy app showed pumpkin as a superfood because it's packed with beta-carotene and iron. It is amazing for baby's eye development and your overall immunity. Definitely add it to your weekly meal plan!
Haan bilkul, pumpkin toh bohot hi healthy hota hai pregnancy me! My mom used to make delicious kaddu ki sabzi for me. Isme bohot fiber aur vitamins hote hain, toh constipation me bhi help milti hai, na.
When I was at my parents' place, my mummy used to make warm pumpkin soup for me in the evenings. It's so soothing and filled with nutrients. Having simple home-cooked meals like this really kept me healthy.
My MIL always made yellow pumpkin sambar, saying it's very cooling and good for pregnant women. Honestly, it has great vitamins and fiber. But if you have gestational diabetes, do ask your doctor once about the portion size.
Pumpkin is great for digestion, which is so important during pregnancy and even after a C-section when your bowels are sluggish. I had a lot of pumpkin soup during my recovery period. It's very light on the stomach and nutritious.
