01/4Curb sugar craving with these amazing suggestions
In the contemporary era where sedentary lifestyles pose challenges such as sugar cravings, acidity, and lethargy, addressing these issues is crucial for overall well-being. The good news is that it doesn’t necessitate a complex plan; incorporating a few simple daily practices can bring about significant improvements in the long term. If you’re seeking a solution, check out Audible for insights from celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar, India’s leading nutrition expert and trusted health advisor to Kareena Kapoor Khan, in her podcast “Secrets of Good Health Season 2.” Below, we’ve compiled some easily implementable health tips from her podcast that pledge to reshape your path to vitality: enhance your digestive system with ghee, jaggery, and bananas, prioritize walking, and consume caffeine judiciously.
02/4Power of jaggery
Attaining a healthy lifestyle might seem intricate, but Rujuta Diwekar’s advice simplifies the process. She recommends concluding your lunch with a spoon of jaggery and ghee. According to Rujuta, this practice promotes smooth digestion, provides essential fats to the body, and helps curb sugar cravings while delivering valuable nutrients.
03/4Harness the power of banana nutrients
Boost your energy and control bloating by incorporating a banana into your daily routine. As Rujuta puts it, eat a banana everyday either in the morning or as a snack between 4 and 6 pm. Bananas have fibre and electrolytes which keep gas and bloating in control. Enhance your digestion with a blend of prebiotic and probiotic goodness by adding 3-4 black raisins to your dahi. According to Rujuta, it “resolves headache and acidity issues and also helps with B12 deficiency in the body arising from digestive issues.”
04/4Remain active
Stay mobile and active with a daily 30-minute walk; Rujuta advises that walking helps with digestion. The more you stay active, the more your vata remains in control. Additionally, prioritise a short 15–20-minute afternoon nap for a quick revival. You should also watch your caffeine intake, avoiding excessive chai and coffee, particularly after 3 or 4 pm, as Rujuta warns; beyond 2-3 cups, it can lead to constipation or diarrhoea.
