First pregnancy and im so confused about what to eat what to avoid. Everyone at ghar gives different advice. Can u all share a basic list of foods to skip? matlab the important ones na.
Beta, always avoid very spicy, deep-fried food and outside chat-pakodi during these months. It causes heavy gas and acidity which is very uncomfortable. Eat simple, freshly made dals, green veggies, and keep your body cool.
Try to avoid stale food, raw meat, and high-mercury fish, as keeping our body pure helps the baby grow beautifully. Focus on positive thoughts while cooking and eating. God will protect you and your little one, just take basic precautions.
In my house, my saas strictly banned raw papaya, pineapple, and any leftover food. Scientifically too, you should avoid raw or undercooked eggs, unpasteurized milk, and papaya because of the latex. Stick to freshly cooked, warm ghar ka khaana.
I am so paranoid about food safety right now! I read online that we should avoid street food, Chinese food with MSG, and packaged juices. Is everyone else also being this strict, or am I just overthinking and worrying too much?
Honestly, just avoid outside street food and raw salads from restaurants because of water infection risks. At home, just wash your veggies properly and boil milk well before drinking. No need to buy expensive organic foods, normal home food is best.
The main things to completely avoid are raw sprouts, unpasteurized dairy, raw papaya, and half-cooked meat due to bacteria risks. Also, cut down on caffeine like tea and coffee. Stick to thoroughly washed, well-cooked meals and you'll be perfectly safe.
