What is the best time to eat fruits during pregnancy?
I'm trying to make sure I eat enough fruits for a healthy pregnancy. Is there a specific best time of day to eat fruits? Or does it not matter when I have them?
You are doing such an amazing job taking care of yourself, dear. I found that eating fruits in the forenoon made me feel so refreshed and energetic. Be gentle on yourself and eat whatever fruit makes you happy during the day.
Haan, the best time is definitely in the morning or as a mid-day snack around 11 AM, na. Try to avoid eating them late at night as it can cause acidity or gas.
I loved eating cold watermelon and apples as a 4 PM evening snack to beat my weird sweet cravings! It's much better than grabbing biscuits or chips, and it keeps you full till dinner.
I recently delivered my baby, and during my pregnancy, I always had fruits in the morning on an empty stomach or with breakfast. It kept my energy levels up and really helped with my morning constipation.
Honestly, any time I managed to stay awake was fruit time for me! But my doctor told me mid-morning is best because eating fruits right before bed just gave me terrible heartburn and kept me up even more.
