Its mango season and i love them but my MIL straight away said no aam during pregnancy, says it produces heat. I really dont want to give them up if its not actually harmful. Is there any real reason behind this or just an old saying?
There is no real ban on mango, the worry is mostly sugar and quantity. Eat it in moderation and pick ripe ones from a clean source. If u have any sugar concern, just confirm the portion with ur doctor.
Haan everyone scared me about mango too na, but my gynac said thoda thoda is fine. I just kept the portion small. Mango season aur na khaaun, that was impossible for me honestly.
Beta the old saying was mango is too heaty, but in normal amounts it is actually fine and full of vitamins. We just told girls not to eat a whole basket in one day. A ripe mango or two a week is no problem.
The main reason to limit it is the sugar, not that mango is bad. I had GD so I had to be careful with how much. If ur sugar is normal, a small portion is okay, just dont go overboard.
