News India Live, Digital Desk: The month of December has started (or winter is at its peak) and cold winds have taken hold. You don’t feel like getting out of the quilt and you feel a strange lethargy and stiffness in the body, isn’t it? In such a situation, our elders did not take medicines, they used to go to the kitchen and make something which would bring warmth and strength to the body. Today we are talking about one such desi “superfood” – Chana Dal Dry Fruit Laddu. It is not just sweet, but a powerful tonic for winters. Let us understand in simple language why it is called the “Powerhouse of Winter”. 1. Will keep the body warm from inside (Natural Body Warmer) The most important thing in winter is to maintain the body temperature. The nature of gram dal (Bengal Gram) is hot. When it is roasted in desi ghee and mixed with dry fruits like almonds and cashews, it provides internal warmth to the body. After eating this, you will not feel cold again and again and you will feel active throughout the day.2. Bone pain will go away (Bone Health) Often, as the cold increases, the elders in the house start having pain in their knees and joints. The reason for this is the increase in vata and lack of lubrication. The desi ghee in this laddu lubricates the joints. Gram dal and dry fruits are rich in calcium and magnesium. This combo makes the bones as strong as iron. If you have back pain, then this laddu is a boon for you.3. Cheap and sure source of protein (Protein Packed) If you do not eat non-veg or do not want to spend on protein supplements, then gram dal is the best. It is a storehouse of protein. In winter, our muscles need protein to repair. Be it the growth of children or the muscle health of adults – this laddu benefits everyone.4. Drive away laziness, sharpen your brain (Brain Booster) Do you also not feel like working in winter? Are you feeling tired? The dry fruits added to it (like walnuts and almonds) contain Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin E. It directly lights up your brain. Taking it with milk for breakfast prevents fatigue throughout the day.5. Skip the sugar and take the jaggery (Twist of Jaggery). The biggest specialty of these laddus is that jaggery should be used instead of sugar. In winter, jaggery keeps the lungs clean, improves digestion and removes iron deficiency. Jaggery laddu means “double benefit”.
