Ajwain Side Effects: In today’s fast-paced life, due to deteriorating eating habits and lack of physical activity, stomach disorders have emerged as the biggest problem. Problems like loss of appetite and sometimes bloating after eating are now the story of every household. Often people ignore these small visible problems which later cause serious health problems.
To avoid these digestive problems, the use of celery is the most common home remedy in Indian homes. However, most of the people are unaware of the correct way and quantity of its consumption due to which they do not get the desired benefits. Let us know what things are necessary to be kept in mind while consuming celery.
An active compound called thymol is found in celery. This element helps in the secretion of digestive juices so that food is easily digested. Besides, it has a warming effect which not only provides relief from gas and indigestion but also protects against seasonal infections like cold and cough.
Often people take celery seeds out of the box and chew them raw. According to experts, this method is absolutely wrong. To get the full benefits of celery, it should be lightly roasted. Be careful not to fry it too much; Just heat it so much that its color does not change but a slight aroma starts coming from it. Roasted celery is easily digestible and has a better effect on the body.
Celery (Mrs. Freepick)
Celery should always be consumed with lukewarm water. Lukewarm water activates its medicinal properties, which intensifies the digestive fire of the stomach. Talking about quantity, less than half a teaspoon of celery at a time is sufficient. Its excessive quantity can cause stomach irritation.
A big misconception is that taking celery water or dried celery in the morning on an empty stomach is good for health. But Ayurveda and modern research suggest that celery should always be taken after meals. It proves to be most effective in digesting food when consumed with lukewarm water about 30 minutes after eating food.
Celery is a medicine, do not make it a part of food. It is extremely hot in nature so consume it only if you really have problems with gas, acidity or flatulence. Eating it regularly without any reason can cause heat and burning sensation in the stomach.
