Winter Foods: With your warm clothing and blankets out, are you prepared for the winter season? Without a diet that boosts your immunity and keeps you warm from the inside, your winter to-do list would be lacking. Winter’s arrival can make several medical issues worse, including arthritis and skin diseases like dryness, eczema, and psoriasis.
Leafy Vegetables
Green leafy veggies that are nutrient-dense are abundant in areas with low temperatures. The variety, flavour, and taste of the vegetables will fill you full and keep stomach-related problems at bay.
Winter vegetables like mustard greens, fenugreek, spinach, bathua, etc. are all rich in dietary fiber that improves digestion and bowel movements.
Ghee
Even though most individuals cringe at the idea of eating ghee, doing so could badly injure your digestive system.
Ghee is a fantastic aid for simple digestion, and its health benefits have been proven by science. By helping the immune system fight off the germs that lead to gas and stomach acidity, it strengthens the immune system. So be careful to include ghee in your regular diet!
Herbs and Spices
Winter recipes ask for a range of herbs and spices to be utilised in order to gain all the digestive benefits. Herbs that aid in proper digestion of meals and the breakdown of fat in the body include cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, cardamom, cayenne, nutmeg, and cloves.
Fibre Rich Food
While fibre is advantageous all year round, the winter is when it really shines. High-fiber foods aid in regulating the digestive process. Fiber can be found in all cold green leafy vegetables as well as seasonal favourites like carrots, radishes, guava, apples, etc.
Protein Rich Food
Although the body need protein all year round, consuming meals with lots of protein are particularly crucial in the winter to maintain a healthy digestive system and avoid gas or acid buildup in the stomach. One can obtain protein from both plants and animals, and both sources are as good, depending on one’s preferences. You can consume the recommended quantity of almonds, seeds, chicken, eggs, lamb, pork, kidney beans, lentils, yoghurt, etc. to receive all the required protein.
