Health Benefits Of Eating ‘Kosambari’ During Shivratri
Here is why consuming ‘Kosambari’ during Shivratri can make you more healthy!
The festival of Maha Shivratri is finally here and people are quite excited to celebrate it, as they would have been looking forward to it for a year!
Maha Shivratri is a festival which is very popular among the Hindus in India.
During Shivratri, Lord Shiva is worshipped and this festival is known to signify the process of overcoming "ignorance and darkness".
During the occasion of Shivratri, a number of rituals are performed, including fasting the entire night before the day of the festival, singing the praises of Lord Shiva and preparing certain special dishes the next day, to feast on!
Just like in any other Indian festival, many delectable dishes are prepared during Shivratri, including a whole variety of sweets.
Now, in South India especially, a dish called 'Kosambari' is prepared during Shivratri, which is nothing but a healthy salad.
'Kosambari' is made from the mixture of raw, soaked pulses, coriander, carrot, cucumber, salt and lime juice. Some people even add pomegranate and sprouts to this raw mixture.
So, here are some of the health benefits of 'Kosambari' based on its ingredients.
1. Aids Weight Loss
As ‘Kosambari' consists of ingredients which are all low in fat content, it can be used as a healthy snack that enables weight loss.
2. Improves Digestion
‘Kosambari' contains a number of veggies that are high in fibre content, so they can stimulate the production of healthy digestive juices.
3. Prevents Constipation
‘Kosambari' is known to be one of the best natural remedies for constipation, as the fibre content in it can flush out the accumulated waste from the intestines.
4. Improves Eye Health
The carrot present in ‘Kosambari' is rich in vitamin A, which can nourish your optic nerves effectively and boost eye health.
5. Lowers Cholesterol
Again, due to the presence of fibre in ‘Kosambari', it can remove the cholesterol accumulated in your arteries, thus lowering high cholesterollevels.
6. Reduces Acidity
The stomach soothing enzymes present in the cucumber, which is an ingredient in ‘Kosambari' can neutralise the acids in the stomach to prevent acidity.
7. Aids Muscle Growth
The pulses present in ‘Kosambari' are rich in protein content, which enable better muscle growth.
8. Prevents Early Cell Ageing
The sprouts present in ‘Kosambari' are rich in antioxidants that can prevent the early degeneration of cells.
