My mom keeps telling me to have ragi malt and ragi dosa now that im pregnant, says its good for calcium. But i read somewhere it can heat the body so im confused. Did anyone have it regularly?
Beta ragi is a blessing, full of strength and good for bones. We made ragi java for new mothers also. Eat it in normal quantity along with your other food na.
Ragi is something we eat a lot at home and it's considered very good for calcium and iron. I had ragi malt and dosa during my pregnancy happily. My mother swears by it, but I did keep my gynac in the loop on my overall diet.
I had GD so I was careful with everything, and ragi actually worked well for me because of the fibre. But portion still mattered, I didn't go overboard. For anyone with sugar issues, do confirm quantities with your doctor.
Ragi is a clean wholesome grain, I had it as part of my balanced meals. Paired it with my walks that doc had okayed. Felt good and energetic with it honestly.
My dietician said ragi is a great source of calcium and fibre and is safe in pregnancy in normal amounts. She just said don't overdo any single thing and keep the diet varied. I enjoyed ragi porridge in the mornings.
