According to our moms’ and grandmothers’ traditional knowledge of foods and eating customs, we should make an effort to modify our diets based on the season we are in.
Listing three meals that are said to be the greatest in the season for gut health, immunity, and a healthy metabolism can help us become less dependent on nutrition supplements. Winter is the best time to eat foods that promote stability and warmth within.
Millets are referred to as “the future food” on the Government of India’s Indian Science, Technology, and Innovation Portal. They are a class of small-seeded grains that have been grown for generations all over the world and are high in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
They can be broadly classified into two groups: small (minor) millets like kodra (kodo millet), sama (barnyard millet), and hari kagni (browntop millet), and large (major) millets like jowar (sorghum), bajra (pearl millet), and ragi (finger millet).
Bajra
Eating bajra throughout the winter is particularly advantageous. It has a high fiber content and is a “warming grain,” according to him. It stabilizes blood sugar, lessens constipation, and controls digestion. Iron and magnesium, which are abundant in bajra, also aid in reducing wintertime weariness and muscle stiffness.
Amla
Amla, often known as the Indian gooseberry, is a great natural source of vitamin C. It reduces winter inflammation, fortifies immunity, and shields the intestinal lining.
Seeds of sesame
Calcium, magnesium, and good fats are abundant in sesame seeds, also known as til. They lessen winter dryness and promote strong bones and joints.
