Do you know that feeding curd and sugar is not only to religion but it is also very beneficial for health. This tradition is followed in every house even today. Let us tell you the scientific reason behind feeding curd and sugar.
There is a scientific reason behind the tradition of eating curd and sugar. The probiotics present in curd strengthen digestion, while the sugar gives energy to the body by giving instant glucose. This combination helps in reducing stress, increases focus, cools the stomach and keeps the mind positive, hence it is taken before any auspicious work.
From a religious point of view, curd and sugar are eaten before going on any journey or doing any big work to remove obstacles. According to beliefs, it calms negative energy and brings success in work.
Good bacteria are found in curd which help in keeping our stomach and digestive system healthy. This also reduces the risk of stomach upset.
Curd and sugar are also eaten when we go out of the house so that there is no shortage of water in our body and the body remains hydrated, which makes you feel fresh. Along with this, it also keeps you active.
