New Delhi, October 27 (IANS). In today’s busy life, people want to take care of their health, but due to lack of time and outside food, they do not pay much attention to health. In such a situation, fennel water is such a remedy, which even our grandmothers used to recommend drinking.
Both Ayurveda and modern science believe that fennel seeds contain many nutrients, which strengthen the body from within. It also contains Vitamin-A, Vitamin-C, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and anti-oxidant properties. Therefore, fennel water not only cools the body but also provides many benefits ranging from digestion to heart health.
According to Ayurveda, fennel helps in balancing body heat and improves digestive fire. By soaking fennel in water overnight, the nutrients present in it dissolve in water. Filtering it the next morning and drinking it on an empty stomach gives freshness and energy to the body. It is considered extremely beneficial for the stomach as it can reduce problems like gas, indigestion and constipation. From a scientific point of view, the fiber and anti-oxidants present in fennel keep the digestive juices balanced and improve the functioning of the intestines. This is the reason why it is called digestion booster.
Fennel water is no less than a boon for heart health. The anti-oxidants found in it prevent bad cholesterol from accumulating in the body and help in increasing good cholesterol. This improves blood circulation and reduces the risk of heart diseases. Along with this, fennel water can also help in controlling blood pressure, because it contains potassium, which also relaxes the blood vessels.
Another major benefit of fennel water is to strengthen immunity, i.e. the immune system. The anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties present in it help in protecting the body from infections. With its regular consumption, the harmful toxins present in the body are removed, due to which you do not fall ill easily. This is the reason why drinking fennel water is considered very beneficial at the time of changing weather.
If you are trying to lose weight, then fennel water can help you. It accelerates the body’s metabolism and helps in reducing fat accumulation. This is why many fitness experts recommend drinking fennel water on an empty stomach in the morning.
The problem of bad breath can also be cured with fennel. The natural oils present in fennel eliminate the bacteria present in the mouth and freshen the breath. Apart from this, it keeps the acid level of the mouth balanced, which also keeps the teeth and gums healthy.
