Jaggery is the traditional sweetener that most of us love and often consider healthier than sugar. But if you’re pregnant, you should know about the negative impact as well. Tap to see!
Jaggery is rich in iron, which can help prevent anaemia. It is a common issue during pregnancy.
It also has calcium and potassium that support bone health and help keep blood pressure in check.
Since it’s unrefined, jaggery can improve digestion, reduce constipation, and ease bloating.
It’s still sugar at the end of the day. Eating too much can spike blood sugar levels.
Jaggery is high in calories, so it may lead to unwanted weight gain.
You can consume around 30–50 grams a day, which is generally fine. It is advisable to consult your healthcare provider before adding jaggery to your daily routine.
