When you’re pregnant, you are advised to eat healthy and better, obviously because you need it and also because of the nourishment that you need to pass on to the fetus. At the same time, you need to be cautious to choose what you eat; you need to understand what is right for you and your child and what has to be avoided. So, read up as much as you can, ask experts and always confirm with the doctor before you decide to include anything in your diet that you’re not too sure about.
We’ve always grown up thinking that apples are power fruits and must be consumed often, if not regularly. Remember the age old adage ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’? This holds good even to this day. Apples are rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, vitamins B (complex) and C, and dietary fibre. Hence there is no reason to doubt that a daily intake of apples in recommended amount has numerous benefits. But is it a permitted item in a pregnant woman’s diet as well? Let’s take a look to see the health benefits accrued from this easily available, yet powerful fruit.
Research shows that consuming apple during pregnancy reduces the risk of children developing asthma/wheezing later in life. To know details of the research conducted to prove this, read here.
Some might question if green apples can be consumed along with red ones during pregnancy. The answer is, yes. Green apples are beneficial too, though slightly sour in taste. How?
With so much from a fruit, it is impossible to avoid apples at any trimester. Easily available, easily digestible and power packed—that sums up the benefits from this wonder fruit. But be careful to not go overboard with this fruit as too much of it means excessive carbohydrates that get digested first. That in turn will prevent your body from burning the fat. Consuming over the recommended amounts can also lead to weight management issues during the later stage of pregnancy.
If consumed regularly in the prescribed amounts, apples along with other recommended fruits and vegetables can make you sail smoothly through each trimester and ensure a safe and healthy delivery.
