we use refined oil at home but my mil says switch to mustard or ghee. now im confused which one is actually better during these 9 months. what do u all cook with?
I understand how every small decision feels so huge, especially if you've had a tough journey like my IVF one. We used light olive oil and home-made ghee in very small quantities, as advised by our team. Just eat what sits well with your stomach, dear, and take it one day at a time.
There is no one magic oil, yaar. I just switched from refined oil to mustard oil and normal ghee for my daily cooking. Just avoid too much oily junk from outside, ghar ka khana is the best.
Actually, using a mix of oils like cold-pressed mustard oil, groundnut oil, or olive oil for salads is best. Don't reuse fried oil, that is the most important thing. Keep your meals simple and nutritious!
Listen, don't worry too much about changing everything suddenly. Just stick to basic mustard oil or pure ghee in moderate amounts, and avoid deep frying. Eat light, homemade food and take care of your health, okay?
At my hospital, the dietician clearly told us to use cold-pressed oils like groundnut or coconut oil in rotation, and strictly avoid refined oils. I would highly recommend asking your hospital nutritionist during your next scan, they give a proper chart.
My toddler is 2 now, but during my pregnancy, I used to overthink oil brands so much! Looking back, I realize as long as you eat fresh, home-cooked food and limit oil overall, any basic mustard or groundnut oil is perfectly fine. Don't stress too much!
We are trying to conceive, and my MIL suggested switching to wood-pressed groundnut oil or mustard oil instead of refined ones. I am slowly making these small changes in our kitchen. I hope it helps you too.
