News India Live, Digital Desk: As soon as the harsh winter begins, a special fragrance starts coming from the kitchen of our homes. It is the sweet smell of fenugreek, dry ginger and dry fruits roasted in desi ghee. Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of making ‘Methi Laddu’ in almost every house in India. Many of us used to find these laddus a bit bitter in our childhood, but our grandmothers and mothers always used to say the same thing, “Son, only this bitterness will keep your diseases away.” In today’s busy life, we may run towards instant snacks, but in the winter season, nothing can provide nutrition and warmth to the body like fenugreek laddus. Especially for women, these are no less than a boon. Why are they so important for women? That time of periods is very difficult every month. Stomach cramps, back pain and weakness in the body often make one miserable. The natural properties found in fenugreek help in balancing ‘estrogen’ in the body. Eating fenugreek laddu in winter provides magical relief from period pain (cramps) and also improves blood circulation. Often new mothers are also given fenugreek laddus after delivery so that the internal recovery of the body can happen faster. Natural medicine for joint pain: The pain in knees and joints suddenly increases during cold days. Fenugreek has a warming effect and has ‘anti-inflammatory’ properties that eliminate swelling and stiffness in the body. If one laddu is taken with lukewarm milk in the morning on an empty stomach, it not only gives energy to the body throughout the day but also strengthens the bones. A confluence of strength and taste. Nowadays laddus are not just made of fenugreek; Jaggery, ghee, gum and many dry fruits are added to these. While jaggery removes anemia, ghee moisturizes our skin from within and protects it from dryness. On one hand, these laddus increase your immunity, and on the other hand, they also keep away the cold and cough that occurs during the changing seasons. A little advice: These laddus are very good for health, but remember that fenugreek is very hot in nature, so one laddu a day is enough. If you eat it with fresh milk, it will be easy to digest and the body will get its full nutrition. So this winter, have you started preparing to make Methi Laddu? If not, dig out that old recipe and prepare this box of health now!
