New Delhi, January 9 (IANS). In winter, the body needs more energy than in summer, because Vata dosha naturally increases in the body. In such a situation, the body becomes lethargic and lethargic, but do you know that there is a powerful and cheap snack present in your kitchen, which everyone ignores considering it inferior.
We are talking about roasted gram, which is a cheap but most effective source of protein.
Roasted gram is full of many qualities. Its consumption in summer cools the body, but on the contrary, it gives warmth to the body in winter. According to Ayurveda, the digestive power is stronger in winter than in summer and can digest even the heaviest food. In such a situation, the stomach does not have to work hard to digest gram and all the nutrients are available to the body.
Roasted gram balances Vata and Kapha. In winter, both these defects increase rapidly in the body. If roasted gram is consumed in winter, many diseases can be avoided by balancing both the doshas. Apart from this, if you feel weakness or fatigue, then consumption of roasted gram gives energy to the body and strengthens the muscles.
Roasted gram also provides relief from the problem of frequent hunger in winters. It is heavy to consume and takes time to digest, hence once consumed, one does not feel hungry for 3 to 4 hours. The problem of weight gain is seen in most of the people in winter. Roasted gram also helps in weight control.
Now the question is how to consume it. Consuming roasted gram with jaggery on an empty stomach in the morning will be beneficial. This increases the absorption of iron in the body. Secondly, you can consume gram with tea. For this, mix some celery and rock salt in roasted gram. This improves digestion and also increases digestive power. Apart from this, roasted gram soaked overnight can also be consumed in the morning.
