Are olives good for pregnancy?

When my wife was pregnant, she craved all sorts of sour and salty things, and olives were a lifesaver. They are healthy, but just don't let her eat the whole jar in one go or you will be running to the chemist for acidity medication at midnight!

When I was expecting, my gynecologist at Fortis told me that canned foods should be eaten very cautiously. While olives themselves are healthy, please confirm with your doctor once because the preservatives used in canned items might not suit everyone.

I freaked out after eating a whole bunch of olives on a pizza during my first trimester because someone told me preserved foods are bad. But my doctor assured me it is perfectly normal and actually a good source of folic acid and iron. So relax, you are totally fine!

My wife ate so many olives during her pregnancy that I think our baby is going to look like one. They are healthy and safe, but honestly, just give her whatever she wants to eat so everyone can get some sleep!

According to my health tracker app, olives are great for pregnant women because they contain vitamin E and healthy monounsaturated fats. Just log your portions to make sure the sodium levels don't spike your daily nutrient targets too much.
