Winters-Some healthy tips

Hi friends, 

Winters have arrived...I am sure all of you must be thrilled...I am🙂 

Every morning I am in a rush to finish all my work quickly so that I can go and sit in the sun for some time. I enjoy myself thoroughly sitting in the sun eating mufalis (peanuts), oranges, gazak (A sweet made by grinding sesame seeds with Gur or Sugar) etc.....Oh, how I love winters for the small little pleasures that it brings with it. Added advantage you get to take in Vitamin D sitting in the sun - free of cost😁

Another thing that make me ecstatic in winters is the variety of vegetables and fruits that we get. It is such a pleasure to cook in winters with an array of ingredients available at your disposal.

So now I'll come to the point and share what I really wanted to share with you, otherwise I am just going to go on and on about my love for winters and the various advantage of this season.

I am sure all of you are familiar with the fruit kinnow or malta (as many call it), this is a fruit we find in the market during winters...and we find it in abundance...it is cheap too. I am not here to talk about all the health benefits of this fruit, you will find abundance of that information on the internet. I am here to motivate you to use this fruit in your daily diet (by telling you how easily you can use it) plans during winters. I am sure you know that this fruit is a rich source of vitamin C and having a glass of its juice every day during winters (that is when it is available) is going to make you glowing and healthy for the rest of the year. 

There are many things that we know are beneficial for us but we are just too lazy to implement them in our lives....don't worry I am the same but one of my friends who also happens to be a homeopath doctor, recently guided me about all the health benefits of this fruit and how easy it is to add it in our diet. So here, I want to share with you, this so easy method of taking out the juice of Kinnow  Wash the fruit and cut it into four pieces. Just take a bowl and squeeze out (it is so soft that this process is really easy) the juice in the bowl, the same way you do with a lemon. Let the fibre go in the bowl as well with the juice (added benefits). Add some black salt and drink it...see how easy. No need for a juicer, no need to strain it and you know it doesn't even get bitter like the orange juice, even if you keep it for some time. Isn't this amazing!

Another absolutely amazing tip - dry the peels of the fruit in sun and then grind it into a powder. Keep this with you in a container. Every once in a while take some portion of this powder, add some rose water to it and apply it on your face. Let it dry and then wash it off. See how your face glows after this.

Are these not such easy ways to do something good for ourselves!!!!

HAPPY WINTERS!!!
