    Hello All,

    Can anyone please tell me whether I can consume horsegram after pregnancy is confirmed. I feel it is rich in all nutrition. But I was advised by my grand ma not to have it as it generates lot of heat.

    Please tell me your views

    I have heard many elders advising ladies not to consume horse gram, til, etc if i they are planning to convenience/already conceived due to excess heat generation.

    Actually anything in moderation is always fine with pregnancy. If some foods are heaty to body, if you wish to consume, supplement with some coolants. That will help.

    Its better not to consume food that generates too much heat, but you can consume in moderation after the fouth month. I consumed even ellurandai (sweet made of til with jaggery ) once a month in the eighth and ninth month, since it is very good for health. We all know that it generates heat. Though i consumed one or two only, i drank lots of water to cool my body immediately.

    I have heard that women in pregnancy have consumed even pickles. So, anything is excess might cause harm, but not in moderation. Dont miss some healthy foods because it generates heat. Consume more water if you had eaten anything that would generate heat.

    True generic. I am not even allowed to have ginger tea which I usually consume everyday. Irrespective of its medicinal values some things are supposed to be avoided for a certain period of time it seems
