Hi Friends, I had once heard that there are dishes in Indian cuisine that help to restore the body's balance. Dishes that get back health and stamina. Also, dishes to restore skin health- if skin is too dry then to make it supple, glowing and healthy. Could someone please guide me with this.
Don't know about dishes but I can suggest some foods that can help the skin maintain the balance and glow: - Lots of water - fruits and fruit juices (oranges, papaya, berries and all the rest). A bowl of mixed fruits daily at dinner has great results in short time. - Tomatoes in any form in daily diet .. raw, curry, direct application on skin .. - Raw vegetables - Red Wine Not just eating stuff, you also need to cut certain foods from diet like too much fatty foods, oily/fried foods, caffeine etc., What you apply, (I mean the moisturisers, creams et.,) daily to skin also does matter and plays a significant role in how your skin looks and feels. Trusted home remedy since ages for glowing skin is “besan” with curd/milk scrubbed or just applied as face mask and washed off.
You mean Recipes, right? Vitamin C - Amla, Guava, local oranges and lemon Vitamin B - chilke wali dal (dals with skin), millets, vegetables, fruits Vitamin D - sunlight Cleansing - haldi, ginger Ayurvedic Cooling - buttermilk, plain rice kanji, milk, kichdi Ayurvedic Heat - ginger, garlic, turmeric, pepper, rasam Vitamin A - colorful vegetables - carrot, papaya, pumpkin Fat soluble Vitamins require fats - so do have healthy fats - wood pressed filtered oils and ghee For dry skin/ dry hair - unboiled milk works wonders - mix any pack (papaya works for dryness) - papaya, banana, red sandalwood, neem, etc - with cold unboiled milk - and feel the soft supple health of your skin. Normal packs like ubtan (or bath powders) will make skin dry with water - try with milk or curd Aloe vera with all its healing benefits - makes skin/ hair dry - so always use it along with milk or curd or coconut oil
For health and stamina - most elderly people swear by gud-channa, peanut chikki, udad dal laddoo, dry fruit laddoo, etc. Especially til, gond laddoo for winters I would reduce refined sugar and make them at home with palm sugar or dates or I would just skip the sugar and have only the channa/sprouts/peanut/til etc with a dash of lime and green chillis
