I like to add sabja seeds to my drinks, especially in summer. But now that I'm pregnant, I'm wondering if they are safe to consume. Can I continue having sabja during pregnancy?
I panicked so much when I had sabja in my falooda early on, thinking it causes body heat. But actually, my doc said it is totally fine in small amounts and actually cools the stomach. Don't worry like I did, just don't overdo it.
Sabja has cooling properties, but it's always best to consult your hospital's dietitian before adding new seeds to your diet. During my visits to Apollo, they gave me a customized chart. Better to get a quick thumbs up from your medical team.
Don't stress too much about small dietary additions, dear. Sabja is generally good for body heat, but moderation is key during pregnancy. Have a little bit if you feel like it, and keep taking care of yourself.
I used to drink sabja seeds soaked in water during summers to beat the heat, and it personally helped me with my digestion. However, everyone's body reacts differently. I only took a spoon full occasionally, so just sharing what worked for me.
I just had my baby and during my late pregnancy months, sabja water really helped with my constipation. I used to soak a tiny teaspoon of seeds and drink it with milk or water. It was a life-saver for me, but check how it suits u.
