News India Live, Digital Desk: It is not possible that there is severe cold in December-January and there is no mention of green vegetables in the dinner plate. We often buy a lot of mustard, spinach and fenugreek in the market, but ignore a small, simple looking vegetable. Yes, we are talking about Bathua. You may not know it, but our elders considered Bathua as ‘gold’. In villages and villages it is called the lifesaver of winter. Let us understand in very simple language what magic this small green leaf can do in your body.1. Stomach will remain completely clean (Digestion & Constipation) Nowadays the condition of stomach remains bad after eating outside food. Gas, acidity and constipation have become common. Bathua is the panacea for all this. It cools the stomach and improves digestion. If someone constantly complains of constipation, then eating Bathua saag or raita 2-3 days a week provides great relief.2. Will remove anemia (Rich in Iron) We often feel lazy in winter. This may be a sign of iron deficiency in the body. Bathua is a treasure trove of iron and folic acid. It is no less than a tonic for women and growing children. It increases hemoglobin naturally and keeps you energetic.3. Helpful in Kidney Stone: Very few people know this, but in Ayurveda it is believed that Bathua is very good for the kidneys. It is said that consuming Bathua juice or vegetable regularly reduces the risk of stone formation and detoxifies (cleanses) the kidneys.4. Natural Skin Glow (Skin Detox) The skin becomes dry and lifeless in winter. Bathua works as a blood purifier. When the blood gets cleaned, the face will automatically glow and the problem of pimples and acne will reduce. Instead of applying expensive creams, it is better to include Bathua in the diet. How to eat? Bathua is hot in nature, hence it also gives warmth to the body in winter. You can make parathas by kneading it in flour. You can make raita by mixing it in curd (which is the most beneficial). Or you can add it to dal and make Bathua dal. So next time you go to the vegetable market, do bring home this ‘cheap but valuable’ vegetable. This is a packet of both taste and health!
