What to eat during pregnancy for healthy baby in india?
Im in my 2nd trimester now and really want to focus on diet for the baby. Looking for proper desi food options that are easily available here, not fancy stuff. What did you all eat that worked, pls share.
Keep it simple and practical. Ensure you have high protein like paneer, eggs, or sprouts, and don't skip your iron and calcium supplements that your gynac gives you.
I have been reading up a lot on this, and everyone suggests dry fruits, milk, and seasonal green veggies. Are there specific traditional foods that really work?
I had a lot of ragi porridge and fresh coconut water daily during my time. It really kept my energy levels up and provided great nutrition for the baby.
Ghar ka simple food is best, but honestly, don't kill your cravings! I balance my healthy dal-chawal and apples with a tiny portion of pani puri sometimes to keep my mood happy.
Focus on clean, organic protein and cut down on unnecessary empty carbs and sugar. Add chia seeds, avocados, and simple home-cooked Indian meals to your daily plate.
Don't stress too much about eating for two, that is a myth. My toddler is so active now, and back then I just ate regular home meals with extra dahi and fruits.
