In winter, sesame and jaggery (Til-Gud) are not only delicious but are also considered very beneficial for health. Its consumption gives warmth to the body and also helps in fighting severe cold and increasing immunity. Both Ayurveda and modern nutritional science accept their benefits. Let us know in detail what benefits we can get from its consumption.
Benefits of sesame and jaggery
keeps the body warm
Both sesame and jaggery are “hot” food items. They produce heat inside the body, which improves blood circulation in cold weather and prevents cold and cough.
Increases immunity
Jaggery contains iron, zinc, magnesium and selenium, which strengthens the body’s immunity. Sesame contains calcium, protein and healthy fats (omega-6 fatty acids), which nourish the body.
strengthens bones
Sesame seeds are rich in calcium and phosphorus, which is beneficial for bones. The minerals present in jaggery help the body absorb calcium.
energy booster
Jaggery provides instant energy, while sesame seeds maintain energy in the body for a long time. Eating sesame and jaggery is very beneficial when you feel lethargic or tired in winter.
good for skin and hair
Sesame oil and Vitamin E present in sesame nourish the skin and hair. Jaggery removes toxins from the body and makes the skin glowing.
