Superfoods are the current trend on social media as food trends evolve rapidly. Ayurveda says that they are an essential part of a truly balanced diet. According to Ayurveda, food should have at least one of the following six tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent. The appropriate food promotes sattva (purity), detox, and rejuvenates the body, resulting in improved immunity, physical and mental vigour, and digestion. Superfoods do not necessarily have to be something fancy, they can be found easily in your kitchen as well. Say goodbye to fleeting fad diets and embrace Ayurvedic superfoods instead. These 7 Ayurvedic superfoods in your kitchen play an essential role in Indian cuisine. According to Ayurveda, the following are some of the most essential superfoods:
- Turmeric
Turmeric is a rounder, with antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal effects, and is currently rising as an international superfood. It is used to cure skin disorders, detoxify the liver, and reduce blood sugar levels in diabetics. While it can be applied directly to wounds, it is also useful when consumed, especially when blended with milk and black pepper.
- Ginger
Another reason to increase your masala chai drinking! Ginger is a well-known anti-inflammatory that stimulates hunger and relieves bloating, gas, and digestive pain. Fresh ginger is used in Ayurveda to treat nausea, particularly pregnancy-induced vomiting. Dried ginger root can help with joint pains (mix with almond oil and rub on painful areas), migraines, and cholesterol levels.
