Nutrtion In Pregnancy
You're glowing with pregnancy joy, and a juicy mango catches your eye. But then comes the worry – can you indulge? Conflicting advice from well-meaning family members can leave you feeling confused and disconnected from your cravings.
Imagine a pregnancy journey bathed in peace and confidence, free from anxieties about every choice. Picture yourself making decisions that nourish you and your baby, guided by knowledge and empowered by support.
That's the power of Garbh Sanskar. We don't just answer questions about "Can I eat this?"; we empower you with knowledge and personalized guidance. We understand the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy, and we're here to support you every step of the way.
A pregnant woman's diet must be rich in proteins, healthy fats, clean carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. In Ayurveda, the six tastes or "Shad Rasas" are given utmost importance, which include madhur (sweet), amla (sour), lavana (salty), katu (pungent), tikta (bitter), and kashaya (astringent). A balanced diet should have all these Rasas. However, nowadays, we often see pregnant women consuming junk food (excess lavana Rasa) and excessively spicy food (excess Katu Rasa). Such imbalances not only affect the pregnant woman's health but also hurt the growing baby.
A balanced diet is necessary during pregnancy
Here are some tips to ensure proper nutrition for you and your baby during pregnancy:
Start your day with soaked nuts
1 fig
4 almonds
Half walnut
A handful of black raisins
2 dates (YES, dates are absolutely SAFE during pregnancy!)
Take a glass of milk with Shatavari Kalpa throughout your pregnancy & breastfeeding journey.
Eat one seasonal preferably local fruit daily (EXCEPT papaya & pineapple). The best time to enjoy your fruits is one hour before lunch.
Have your dinner early i.e. by 8 pm to prevent heartburn at night.
Avoid junk food especially Chinese food & pizza. The excess sodium in these foods can cause PIH (pregnancy-induced hypertension).
Include micro-nutrients in your diet in the form of homemade chutneys like amla (Indian gooseberry)chutney, coconut chutney, etc.
Avoid the consumption of refrigerated foods.
