We use haldi in literally everything at ghar pe and ab i started wondering if it's totally fine during pregnancy or thoda limit karna chahiye. Like in normal cooking amount its ok na? someone told me too much is not good so im confused.
A pinch of turmeric in warm milk at night is absolutely fine and actually helps with body aches. Just don't go drinking raw turmeric juice or taking supplements. Keep it moderate, like we do in regular Indian cooking.
My mom gave me light haldi doodh after my C-section to help with internal healing and it was so comforting. During pregnancy, a little bit in your dal and sabzi is perfect, no need to overdo it.
When I asked the clinical nutritionist at Cloudnine, she told me that standard kitchen haldi is totally fine in daily meals. But if you're planning on taking any herbal tablets with turmeric, definitely ask your gynac first.
I used to have a very tiny pinch of organic haldi in my milk during my third trimester, it helped me sleep so well. Even now during breastfeeding, it helps with my immunity. Just make sure the haldi is pure.
Haldi is fine in daily food, but please don't take those fancy turmeric lattes with lots of honey or sugar if you are watching your sugar levels. Always look at the overall ingredients you add to it.
