Papita or Papaya is not bad for a pregnant lady!
It is a rich source of Vitamin A, just like carrots & mangoes. Also it provides us with Vitamin C, E & a lot of fibres & folic acid which is good for increasing haemoglobin & avoiding Anaemia. Anaemia is one of the commonest complications in any pregnancy in India. So Papaya is quite helpful in avoiding this complication.
But just like excess of anything is wrong so is eating a hell lot of Papaya!
So would really like to tell, that Papaya is a fruit that provides lot of nutrition to the consumer & is really cheap so please avoid the unresearched crap we see on TV & enjoy that bowl full of Papaya!
Please spread the word!
(Sorry, as a doctor & an ardent Papaya lover, I couldn't help myself from stopping ppl doing this nainsafi with Papaya!)
