In a recent YouTube vlog, Indian actress Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya, aged 41, shared that her mother, Neelam Tripathi, has been advising her to include chironji dana (Charoli) in her diet since learning about her pregnancy. Chironji is known for its nutty flavor and is rich in calcium, which is believed to contribute to the development of strong bones in the fetus. However, Dt Amreen Sheikh, chief dietitian at KIMS Hospitals in Thane, cautioned that while chironji is nutrient-rich, it should not be viewed as a 'magic ingredient.' Instead, a diverse and balanced diet is essential for optimal fetal health. Sheikh noted that pregnant women should focus on a variety of calcium sources, such as milk, curd, and leafy greens, along with adequate protein and vitamin D. Additionally, portion control is important due to chironji's high calorie content, and those with nut allergies should exercise caution. Ultimately, chironji can be a beneficial addition to a pregnancy diet when consumed in moderation, complemented by guidance from healthcare professionals.
