Everyone keeps telling me eat dry fruits, eat dry fruits, but no one says which ones and how much. Im 14 weeks and want to add them to my diet properly. Which nuts do u all eat daily?
The nutritionist at my hospital gave me a pregnancy diet chart that included soaked almonds and walnuts. I'd suggest asking your gynac if you have any history of food allergies before starting.
You can totally eat almonds, walnuts, and pistachios, they are so good for you! Just soak them overnight so they are easy to digest, and don't stress too much about the quantities.
My doctor recommended eating 4-5 soaked almonds and 2 walnuts daily for healthy fats and brain development. She advised avoiding raw cashews in large amounts as they can feel heavy.
I keep a small ziplock bag of almonds, walnuts, and raisins in my office drawer. It's a quick, healthy snack to eat between meetings when you feel exhausted and need instant energy.
My pregnancy app recommended a handful of soaked almonds and walnuts every morning for baby's brain development. I used to log it in my daily food tracker to make sure I got enough nutrients.
I am currently planning my pregnancy and trying to eat healthier. Are walnuts and almonds the absolute best to start with, or can we eat cashews and pistachios too?
Almonds, walnuts, and figs are excellent during pregnancy, but moderation is key. It's always a good idea to confirm with your doctor about the exact daily portion based on your health.
