My mom keeps sending almonds and stuff saying khao baccha strong banega. I do eat them but not sure which dry fruits are actually best in pregnancy and how much. What do u all have daily?
My mother told me to eat soaked almonds and dry grapes (raisins) daily for strength. But I checked with my doctor first, and she said to limit dates to 2-3 a day. Always moderate the quantity.
I eat 4 soaked almonds and 2 walnuts daily before my light morning walk, which my doctor permitted. Dry fruits give great clean energy for active days. Avoid too many raisins or dates if you aren't very active.
Because of my high-risk pregnancy, my doctor gave me a customized diet chart. I was allowed only a limited number of soaked walnuts and almonds. Please consult your doctor before eating heat-producing dry fruits like dates.
I literally survive on almonds and walnuts now because I'm too tired to cook! Just soak them first so they don't cause body heat, otherwise you'll be running to the washroom even more.
I totally understand wanting to feed your growing baby only the best things! Almonds, walnuts, and a couple of dates are so wonderful for their development. Eat them with love and stay happy, dear.
Please be very careful with dry fruits like figs and dates as they can generate heat in the body. I only had 2-3 soaked almonds and walnuts during my early months. It's always best to ask your gynac about quantities.
Haan na, dry fruits are so good for baby's brain. Almonds and walnuts are the best. I used to soak them overnight and peel the almonds in the morning, very easy and healthy.
Be very careful with sweet dry fruits like dates, raisins, and figs if you have blood sugar issues. I strictly stuck to almonds and walnuts because they don't spike blood sugar. Check your glucose levels regularly!
Almonds and walnuts are great, but don't eat them like popcorn! Just a small handful of soaked ones is more than enough. Your baby doesn't need a whole dry fruit market in there!
