Actor Divyanka Tripathi, 41, expecting her first child with husband Vivek Dahiya, shared during her baby shower that she now craves elaichi bananas despite previously avoiding milk and fruits. Dietitian Garima Goyal explained that pregnancy-related food cravings occur because the body demands nutrients needed for maternal health and fetal development. Bananas provide energy, manage nausea, support digestion, and offer potassium. Adding milk supplies calcium and protein for bone development. Experts recommend gradual dietary changes using alternatives like curd or paneer.
