with the nip in the air, one needs to be extra careful with their physical regime and daily dietary habits by including seasonal foods to ensure the body’s immunity is at its best. While there are many such foods that can help you with the same, have you ever tried jaggery or gur in combination with other common ingredients?
Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar recently shared an informative post on Instagram.
On its own, jaggery can do many things, works as a digestive, improves fertility, bone density etc. But when mixed with others, it uses its power to improve their efficacy. In that sense, i find jaggery or gul or gud, very giving and generous. May be that’s why it’s compared to ishq too, gul nal ishq meetha..
Here is a list of food combinations with jaggery and their super powers –
with ghee – relief from constipation
with dhaniya seeds – eases bleeding, reduces period pain, useful when you are only spotting and want periods to start
with fennel seeds – removes bad breath & reduces plaque formation
with methi seeds – for stronger, lustrous hair, prevents greying
with goond – improves bone density & works as a lactation agent in nursing mothers
with aliv – improves folic acid & iron assimilation, reduces skin pigmentation, good for hair growth too
with til – reduces chances of cold, coughs & flus
