Walnuts
Walnuts, also known as "akhrot" in Hindi, are incredibly nutritious and safe to eat during pregnancy. The kernel of a walnut resembles a brain, and not only does it resemble a brain, but it also aids in brain function. Aside from that, there are many other advantages to eating walnuts while pregnant. Walnuts can be eaten in a variety of ways. They can be eaten whole or finely chopped, depending on your preference.
Walnuts can also be used in baked goods, meat and fish meals, as well as vegetable and fruit salads. Walnuts are also used by women as a treatment for a variety of health issues because medications are not recommended during pregnancy. While walnuts are safe to eat during pregnancy, they should not be ingested in large quantities. This is because an excessive amount of anything can be harmful to your health, and walnuts are no exception.
Some of the health benefits of eating walnuts during pregnancy:
- Walnuts are high in Omega-3 fatty acids and proteins, which can help your unborn baby's eyes and brain develop properly.
- When consumed in moderation, walnuts can also aid in the maintenance of a healthy lipid profile during pregnancy.
- Walnuts are high in protein and fiber, both of which are essential for a pregnant woman.
- Walnuts are high in antioxidants, which can benefit a pregnant woman's immune system. It is recommended that you eat the brown skin of walnuts as well. This is due to the fact that the skin of walnuts contains 90% of the antioxidants.
