News India Live, Digital Desk: In the name of eating ‘healthy’, we often run after fancy diets, exotic fruits and expensive supplements. But ‘Black Gram’ packed in a box in the kitchen of our house is such a superfood, whose power perhaps many of us are not aware of. Be it the old-time wrestlers or our grandparents, the secret of their iron-like health was black gram. People often make fun of it by calling it “horse food”, but the truth is that horses are known for their strength and agility. If you are also troubled by fatigue, weakness or disturbed hormones, then make friends with this home remedy today. A true companion for those who build muscles, protein is most important for the youth who want to go to the gym and build their body. Buying protein powder costs thousands of rupees. But do you know that soaked black gram is a treasure trove of protein? This is a boon for vegetarian people. It not only repairs the broken muscles, but also makes them stronger. If you do not eat non-veg, then gram is the best option for you. Helpful in balancing hormones. Nowadays, due to poor lifestyle, the problem of hormonal imbalance has increased a lot, especially in women. Irritability, hair fall or skin problems have become common. Black gram is rich in magnesium and vitamin B6. This combination keeps your mood good and activates ‘happy hormones’. If you also feel stressed or lethargic, then gram can help in controlling it. Gram is rich in fiber for those who want to lose weight. Its advantage is that when you eat a handful of gram in the morning, your stomach remains full for a long time. When your stomach is full, you will stay away from unnecessary junk food (samosas-kachori). This helps a lot in controlling weight. Remove anemia: Iron deficiency (Anemia) is seen in many people in India, especially women. Black gram is an excellent source of iron. It improves the level of hemoglobin in the body and keeps you energetic. How to eat it right? Well, you can make juicy vegetables or chaat and eat it. But you get the most benefit when you keep it soaked overnight and eat it raw in the morning on an empty stomach. You can also eat it sprouted, which doubles its strength. Squeeze some onion, tomato and lemon into it for taste.
