What are the benefits of figs during pregnancy? - #10724
I’ve recently started including figs in my diet, and I’ve heard they’re especially beneficial during pregnancy. I’d like to know what are the benefits of figs during pregnancy and how they support overall health for both the mother and the baby. One of the reasons I’m interested is that I’ve been struggling with constipation, which I know is common during pregnancy. Figs are supposed to be rich in fiber, but do they actually help regulate digestion? How many should I eat daily to see results without overdoing it? I’ve also read that figs are high in calcium and iron, which are essential during pregnancy. Do they help prevent anemia and support bone health? Are dried figs as nutritious as fresh ones, or should I focus on getting fresh figs whenever possible? Another thing I’m curious about is whether figs have any benefits for reducing morning sickness or fatigue. Pregnancy has left me feeling quite low on energy, and I’m hoping figs can act as a natural energy booster. If anyone has been eating figs during pregnancy, I’d love to know your experience. How did you include them in your meals, and did they make a noticeable difference in your health? Also, are there any risks of eating too many figs during pregnancy, like excessive sugar intake or other side effects?
