Common Question Answered In This Book
What is the best way to build immunity?
Compounds like curcumin (found in turmeric) and mangiferin (found in raw mangoes) can help combat infection and fight against lifestyle diseases. Our Turmeric Milk and Aam Panna recipes are immunity-boosters.
How can I improve digestion?
The enzyme “papain,” found in papaya, is a great way to keep your tummy healthy and regularise bowel movement. When combined with halim or garden cress seeds, you get the added benefit of good fats and iron. Our recipe for Papaya Juice With Halim Seeds leaves you feeling fuller while boosting gut health.
What is the best natural anti-ageing solution?
Ferulic acid - commonly found in topical serums and skincare products - helps keep the skin young and supple. Ragi or finger millet contains ferulic acid and also has the ability to stop the cross-linking of collagen, which is what makes skin lose elasticity. Our recipe for Ragi Ambali is one of the best anti-ageing concoctions you can consume for glowing skin.
What is the best way to burn fat naturally?
When you feel full for longer periods of time, you won’t overeat. Our recipe for Barley Water is the ideal blend of wholesome and low calories, which keeps you satiated and aids in fat loss.
What can I drink if I am allergic to cow’s milk?
Most people who cannot have cow’s milk because they are unable to digest it can switch to goat milk, which is nutrient-dense but easier to digest thanks to smaller fat globules. Our recipe for Rose Goat Milk With Sabja can be enjoyed hot or cold, by children and adults alike.
We’re all aware of the health advice our mothers and grandmothers have shared: eat oranges, amla and musambi to keep colds away. Take a spoonful of chyanwanprash everyday. Get some ghee into your system. Many of the health and immunity-boosting benefits of these foods can be gained from the warming and cooling drink recipes outlined in this book, including:
Kashmiri Kahwa:
Fragrant with spice and all things nice, this traditional green tea from Kashmir is soothing, with hints of saffron. It also revs up metabolism and curbs unwanted junk food cravings.
Carrot & Beetroot Kanji
Drink your way to a healthier, more alkaline gut with sun-fermented kanji, the Winter Wonder from Punjab. Learn how to get the fermentation process right with the right proportion of root vegetables and spices.
Turmeric Milk
Haldi-doodh, Turmeric Latte or Golden Milk - call it what you may - this comforting concoction helps heal your body from the inside out. We show you how to combine turmeric with the right fats and spices to get the most out of the actives present.
