What happens to your body when you have one steamed amla daily?

   

Do you have amla daily?

Amla has been used for medicinal purposes through centuries all over the world. It is highly nutritious and consumed in various forms like pickles, juice, candy, powdered chutney, etc. Amla is extremely rich in vitamin C and a good natural source of vitamin A, potassium, iron, etc. This is well-known. But did you know that steaming amla can have various health benefits, as it helps retain its nutritional content?

Noting that raw amla also tastes better after steaming, clinical nutritionist Kavya Naidu said, “Consuming one steamed amla daily can bring healthy changes into your body. Steaming amla preserves vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant that helps improve immunity, support skin health, improve hair texture and overall well-being.”

Preserving these antioxidants through steaming can help fight against oxidative stress and free radical damage in the body. According to Naidu, steaming amla also provides digestive benefits by relieving constipation, improving metabolism, promoting regular bowel movements, and providing healthy gut flora.

It also contributes to shiny hair and glowing skin. “The antioxidants and vitamin C in amla contribute to healthier skin by fighting free radicals and supporting collagen production. Regular consumption may result in a natural radiance and improved skin texture,” said Sushma PS, chief dietitian, Jindal Naturecure Institute.

It improves heart health by reducing bad cholesterol levels and manages cardiovascular diseases. “Taking one steamed amla along with a healthy diet by any diabetic person can also help to regulate their blood sugar levels. It is possible because steaming helps to preserve the active compounds present in amla which cause this effect,” said Naidu.

Naidu stated that steamed amla also has anti-inflammatory properties which help to reduce swelling and inflammation in the body. “It is also good for maintaining eye health and preventing macular degeneration,” said Naidu.

Experts urge that it also helps in weight management. “The protein present in amla may help control cravings, making it a valuable addition to a weight management strategy. By curbing excessive appetite, amla can contribute to healthier eating habits,” said Sushma.

Here's how gut health improves

Sushma also attributed that increased metabolism and appetite control may contribute to a gradual and sustainable weight loss over time. “However, it's important to note that individual results may vary, and a balanced diet and regular exercise are key components of any weight management plan,” said Sushma.

It's essential to remember that while amla offers numerous health benefits, individual responses can vary. If you have specific health concerns or conditions, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet. Additionally, incorporating various nutritious foods and maintaining a balanced lifestyle will contribute to overall health and well-being.

Kale juice is the anti-inflammatory drink you should add to your diet

"Juice or any recipe with kale is one something I recommend to all my patients," says Dr. Vicente Mera, a specialist in internal medicine and anti-aging. Kale juice can improve the quality of life. How? Mera summarises this in his book, Young at any age,"It provides 50% more calcium than milk, three times more vitamin C than oranges and four times more folic acid than eggs," he says. And a good dose of these antioxidants are resistant to heat, “So they can even protect other foods from their own oxidation,” he explains. In fact, anti-aging expert, Dr. Olivier Courtin-Clarins, in his book, Bella in the plate, devotes a few pages to this variety of green cabbage, describing it as "ultra-vitaminised" and advises readers to have it in smoothies or cold soups.

It is both satiating and delicious

In addition to having a high dose of vitamins, Dr. Mera emphasises that kale has great satiating power due to its high fiber and low calorie content. This in turn can even help curb appetite and aid in weight loss as it does not contain fat but sulfur compounds that reduce the absorption of lipids.

How to include kale in your daily diet

If kale juice doesn't sound like something you would enjoy, there are many other ways to add this to your diet, but it is important to remember what Courtin-Clarins explains– "Its high fibre content means that Kale must be softened before eating it, which means the leaves must be kneaded for a few minutes, dry or in liquid". Below are some ways in which you can include it in your daily meals.

1. In an omelet at breakfast or dinner (you can add in other vegetables such as tomatoes and onions too)
2. On toast, with poached eggs and avocado
3. In a salad
4. With an olive oil and lemon dressing, along with raspberries, avocado, a touch of grated ginger, soy and agave syrup, Courin-Clarins explains.
