What is the healthiest food we can eat?

 Cabbage

💡Nutritional Benefits

1. The Vitamin C in cabbage can boost immunity and prevent colds. The Vitamin U it contains can repair ulcers, accelerate wound healing, and has analgesic effects, offering some relief for gastric and duodenal ulcers. It is also rich in Vitamin E, which promotes ovarian development, increases estrogen secretion, and stimulates breast development.

2. Cabbage contains a large amount of essential nutrients, such as various amino acids and carotene, which can enhance the body's immune function.

3. The fiber in cabbage promotes intestinal peristalsis, aids digestion, increases appetite, prevents constipation, and inhibits the absorption of cholesterol and bile acids in the intestines, thus being effective for myocardial ischemia and gallstones.

4. Cabbage contains a relatively high amount of molybdenum, which can inhibit the synthesis of ammonium nitrates and has anti-cancer effects, making it a potential food for cancer prevention.

5. Cabbage is rich in dietary fiber, which can lower cholesterol, prevent atherosclerosis, and prevent excessive sugar absorption, thus benefiting people with obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes.

6. Cabbage can improve age-related weakness in the lower back and legs and tinnitus, and is also effective in treating Alzheimer's disease.

What are the top 5 healthiest Indian sweets?

 I don’t think one can classify specific sweets as healthy. BUT, if you make your sweets at home, you can make any sweet healthier by,

  1. Adjusting the quantity of sugar as per your needs
  2. Using jaggery instead of white sugar
  3. Using healthier oils, authentic ghee
  4. Avoiding preservatives
  5. Avoiding harmful food colouring agents

The only downside to making homemade sweets is that you make a lot of one type and may end up eating more 😐

That being said, you can try these healthy sweets at home.

  • Rava Kesari
  • Javarisi Semiya Payasam (Kheer)
  • Paal Kozhukatai
  • Thirattipal (milk-based)
  • Chakara Pongal
