What are the benefits of anjeer (fig) during pregnancy, and how should it be consumed? - #10264
I’ve heard a lot about the health benefits of anjeer fruit in pregnancy, and I’m considering adding it to my diet. However, I’d like to understand how it specifically supports the health of pregnant women and their babies. One of the claims about anjeer is that it’s rich in dietary fiber, which helps with digestion and prevents constipation—a common issue during pregnancy. How effective is it for improving gut health, and how much should be consumed daily? I’ve also read that anjeer contains essential nutrients like calcium, iron, and potassium. Do these nutrients significantly contribute to the baby’s development and the mother’s overall health? Another aspect I’m curious about is whether anjeer helps with energy levels. Pregnancy often causes fatigue, so does the natural sugar content in anjeer provide a quick and healthy energy boost without raising blood sugar levels too much? Lastly, are there any precautions or potential side effects of consuming anjeer during pregnancy? For example, could overeating it cause stomach discomfort, or should it be avoided by women with gestational diabetes? If anyone has included anjeer fruit in pregnancy in their diet, I’d love to hear your experience. How did it help you, and what’s the best way to eat it—fresh or dried?
