Q: My 25 years old wife is pregnant. Could you tell me the fruits that she needs to take and the ones that she needs to avoid? Is it safe for her to take fruits like pomegranate? Please also tell me which is better: milk, buttermilk or curd?
A:All fruits are okay, provided she has no past history of any medical problem. Bananas, citrus fruits and apple are good. There is no problem with pomegranate. Curd is easily digested, otherwise milk and buttermilk are also good. Please consult a dietician for detailed advice.
