Pregnancy Mein Pumpkin Seeds Khane Ke Side Effects: Kya Yeh Aapke Liye Safe Hai?
Solutions: 1. Din mein sirf 30g (ek mutthi) se kam seeds lein. 2. Hamesha roasted seeds hi khayein. 3. Paani ka intake badhayein taaki fiber digest ho sake.
Key Takeaway: Nutrition ke liye pumpkin seeds behtar hain, par dosage galat hone par yeh digestion bigad sakte hain.
Dosto, mere 20 saal ke clinic career mein maine hazaron pregnant women ko guide kiya hai. Ek sawal jo aaj kal bahut common hai, woh yeh ki “Doctor sahab, kya main Pumpkin Seeds kha sakti hoon?” Aaj kal social media par har koi seeds khane ki salah deta hai, par koi yeh nahi batata ki iska nuksan kab hota hai.
India mein hum kaddu ki sabzi toh bade chao se khate hain, par beej phenk dete hain. Science ke mutabik, in chote beejo mein Zinc, Iron, aur Magnesium ka khazana hai. Lekin pregnancy ek sensitive phase hai. Yahan “Too much of a good thing” wali baat sach sabit hoti hai. Zyada fiber hone ki wajah se, agar aapne limit cross ki, toh aapko Indigestion aur Bloating ka saamna karna pad sakta hai.
Is article mein hum dekhenge ki Pumpkin Seeds in Pregnancy ke asli side effects kya hain, inka biochemistry kya hai, aur Ayurveda is baare mein kya kehta hai. Ek dost aur doctor hone ke naate, main aapko woh sahi tarika bataunga jisse aap aur aapka baby dono safe rahein.

Pumpkin seeds mein Magnesium ki matra bahut high hoti hai. Magnesium body mein 300 se zyada biochemical reactions ko control karta hai. Jaise car ko fuel ke saath engine cooling chahiye, waise hi hamari body ko pregnancy ke stress mein Magnesium chahiye hota hai.
Inme maujood Phytosterols cholesterol ko kam karne mein help karte hain, lekin agar inka fermentation gut mein sahi se na ho, toh yeh Gas aur Bloating paida karte hain. Isi wajah se pregnant women ko indigestion feel hota hai.

Doctor’s Final Verdict
Dosto, 20 saal ke experience mein maine dekha hai ki pregnancy mein nutrition se zyada “balance” zaroori hai. Pumpkin seeds bilkul safe hain, lekin inka Dosage hi decide karega ki yeh aapko fayda denge ya nuksan. Red flags yaad rakhein: agar seeds khane ke baad pet mein tez dard ho ya rash aaye, toh turant ruk jayein. Realistic expectations rakhein, yeh koi jadui goli nahi hai, balki ek healthy diet ka chota sa part hai. Apne Doctor se milte rahein aur khush rahein. Ek khush maa hi ek swasth bacche ko janam deti hai!
