Its peak summer here and i could eat watermelon all day, so refreshing. But MIL says too much thanda fruit is not good na. Is it actually fine to have daily?
I have heard from my friends that watermelon is great during pregnancy because of its high water content. It is very gentle on the stomach. I will definitely keep this in mind for the future when my turn comes.
Watermelon is very cheap, easily available, and great for reducing swelling in your feet. Just buy a whole one from the local vendor, slice it at home, and eat it fresh. Don't buy those pre-cut ones from outside to avoid any stomach infection.
Yes, it is amazing! I'm in my second trimester and I eat it almost every day because it helps with my heartburn. Does anyone else also get sudden cravings for ice-cold watermelon in the middle of the afternoon?
Watermelon is excellent because it is 92% water, which helps prevent dehydration and keeps your blood pressure stable. Just make sure you wash the outer skin thoroughly before cutting it to keep bacteria away. If you have gestational diabetes, though, keep the portion in check.
When I was staying at my mom's place, she used to cut fresh watermelon for me every afternoon to beat the heat. It really helped with my acidity and kept me hydrated. There is nothing like mother's care and fresh seasonal fruits!
I felt so dehydrated during my first trimester, and watermelon was literally my savior. It helped soothe my morning sickness and made me feel so refreshed. I used to cry with relief after eating a cold bowl of it!
I also love having watermelon, but is it true that we shouldn't eat it at night because of the high sugar content? Let me know if anyone else has been told this by their elders or doctors.
