Navratri is the time when the Goddess comes to earth to remove all negativity and gives us hope for a better future. Similarly, the food we put inside our body plays a major role in deciding the way we think, feel and express ourselves. In food, spices work like a charm when it comes to protecting you. They silently work to eliminate all negativity and tantalize all our senses – including the 6th sense.
In this Navratri Series, today we talk about a spice commonly used across the country – Cumin, Jeera has the power to make or break a dish – imagine your jeera aloo without jeera or your chaas or buttermilk without the liberal sprinkle of roasted jeera powder. Sounds incomplete right?
In the same way, your good health is incomplete without Jeera, let’s see how.
How Cumin Protects You?
Iron deficiency is one of the common issues people face today. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia. It hampers the supply of oxygen in the body thereby making you tired more often. Cumin is a rich and tasty source of Iron. It is effective when added as a seasoning in food. It should be a compulsory addition to diet especially for women as they have blood loss regularly during menstruation.
Jeera contains Thymoquinone which helps in detoxification by attacking free radicals. It helps the body flush out toxins and hence helps with weight reduction. In addition, the spice also helps in improving the lipid profile thereby working on burning excess fat in the body.
Disturbed sleep can not only ruin the productivity of the next day but also put pressure on the brain. The spice contains Melatonin – the sweet sleep-regulating hormone. It helps in relaxing the mind and ensuring timely sleep. Also, the spice contains magnesium which is essential to regulate brain activity. Overall, spice is a great remedy for those who are sleepless at night. Drink cumin tea at bedtime to get the maximum benefit.
The spice is antibacterial and antiviral. So, it is an excellent remedy for acne which is primarily caused due to excessive sebum & dirt in the pores. It helps keep the skin infection free as well. Put jeera water in a spray bottle and spray it on the affected areas multiple times a day to get relief.
