3 Forgotten Foods To Beat Hot Flashes

Summer is approaching us, and honestly, no one is ready for those hot winds and sweaty weather. The environment around us changes to a much dry and humid one; our bodies also undergo many changes. One of the things that many people face during this time is the intense and sudden feeling of warmth in the upper body. Has it ever happened to you? If yes, then allow us to tell you that those could be hot flashes. As per a research , "Hot flashes are defined as transient sensations of heat, sweating, flushing, anxiety, and chills lasting for 1-5 minutes." Usually, for women going through menopause, hot flashes are a common thing. So, if you have been experiencing these hot flashes too, then nutritionist has just the solution. The nutritionist shared certain foods that can help beat hot flashes.

In the video, she explains what hot flashes are and their symptoms. She then mentions that "our bodies start feeling out of control, and we also have many other kinds of symptoms like skin pigmentation, loss of hair, loss of satiety, bloating, irritation and more."

After explaining this, she talks about the three foods one should add to their diet. First, she mentions kopra pak, also called nariyal barfi. She says, "Instead of eating other anti-oxidant rich foods like cocoa powder and all, nariyal barfi actually helps you a lot. You can have a piece of it around 11 AM or post-lunch. Coconut has essential fatty acids. These fatty acids help to regain energy. It also helps with sugar cravings. Coconut also has lauric acid that helps to calm down a person and gives them a feeling of nourishment." 

Secondly, she talks about local vegetable chutney with til. She says, "This chutney is made with ridge gourd skin and til. This will help introduce the good bacteria into your body and is good for bone mineral density." She continues to share, "Til can also help with pigmentation and acne. So, having this chutney can help with skin and hair issues along with gas, bloating and acidity."

Lastly, she talks about banana chips. "These are rich in micronutrients that we need. For instance, vitamin B6 helps calm down the nerves that can be found in these chips. This also helps with the salty cravings that one feels," says the nutritionist.

Include sabja seeds in your diet to promote weight loss

The tiny round sabja seeds belong to the mint family and have various health benefits and healing properties. They are helpful in treating acidity, heartburn, controlling blood sugar levels and reducing body heat. Sabja seeds are rich in essential fats, carbohydrates, protein and are low in calories, which make them a perfect weight loss companion. 

Here is how sabja seeds can help you lose weight.

Essential fatty acid

Sabja seeds are rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which help in maintaining the body's metabolism. The anti-inflammatory properties of the seeds help in managing obesity and thus aid weight loss.

High fibre content
The high fibre content of sabja seeds keeps you fuller for longer and stops you from binge eating. By preventing overeating and unnecessary cravings, sabja seeds aid weight loss. Fibre also helps by decreasing the absorption of fat and carbohydrates in the body.

Keep blood sugar in check

Sabja seeds can help regulate blood sugar levels and thus ward off obesity. The fibre rich content slows down digestion and prevents blood sugar spike.

Helps control appetite

When soaked in water, sabja seeds release digestive enzymes. When consumed, they stop you from unnecessary overeating, reduce your appetite and control the unwanted hunger pangs.

Low in calories, high in nutrients

Despite being low in calories, sabja seeds are rich in various vitamins and minerals including calcium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus, which is essential for weight loss.

How to consume sabja seeds for weight loss

Sabja seeds are hard to chew, thus the most simple and effective way to consume them is by soaking them in water. Sabja seeds absorb water and increase in size, which increases the fiber content and releases digestive enzymes.

Take two spoons of sabja seeds and soak them in a cup of warm water for 15-20 minutes. Once the seeds are swollen, you can have them.

You can also put one teaspoon of sabja seeds in one litre of water and keep sipping it throughout the day.
