News India Live, Digital Desk: The sun’s mood has started becoming harsh in the entire country including North India. Due to scorching sun and hot winds (loo), the risk of water deficiency and dehydration in the body has increased. Often people resort to cold drinks or soda to keep themselves cool, which harms health. But do you know that the ‘Yellow Moong Dal’ present in your kitchen is no less than a boon for summer? According to Ayurveda, moong dal has a cooling effect and a special drink made from it not only controls your body temperature but also keeps you fresh (Energy Boost) throughout the day.
Moong dal is a powerhouse of protein, fiber, vitamin B and potassium. In summer, when there is excessive sweating, essential electrolytes are lost from the body. This special drink of moong dal supplies those nutrients to the body. According to doctors, this drink is very easy to digest and provides instant relief from problems like acidity and burning sensation by calming the heat in the stomach.
Making this drink is very easy and you do not need any expensive ingredients:
Soaking: Wash half cup yellow moong dal thoroughly and soak it in water for 3-4 hours.
grind: Drain the soaked dal and grind it finely in a mixer along with some fresh water, mint leaves and a pinch of black salt.
Filtering and Mixing: Filter this paste in a big vessel. Now add cold water, roasted cumin powder and a little lemon juice to it.
To serve: If you wish, you can also add a little jaggery or honey to it for taste. Serve it in an earthen kulhar or glass glass with ice cubes.
By consuming this drink regularly in summer, you will get these benefits:
Protection from Heat Stroke: It does not allow the internal temperature of the body to increase, thereby significantly reducing the risk of heat stroke.
Helpful in weight loss: It has high fiber content and low calories, which helps in weight loss by controlling frequent hunger pangs.
Elixir for the digestive system: Moong dal water is very light on the stomach, which completely eliminates the problem of indigestion and gas that occurs in summers.
Immunity Booster: The antioxidants present in it increase the body’s immunity, thereby protecting you from seasonal diseases.
Skin improvement: Removing the toxins from the body brings a natural glow on the face and provides relief from heat rashes and rashes in summers.
This drink is completely safe for most people, but people who have serious uric acid problems or are allergic to pulses, should consume it only after consulting a doctor. Also, for better results, it is considered most beneficial to drink it in the afternoon or shortly after coming out from the sun. This summer, give up artificial drinks and adopt this traditional Indian remedy.
