Dahi is a proven summer superfood. Here’s why!
The sun is shining at its peak. Summer is incoming. In fact, it is already here.
As the rising temperature and afternoon heat drains away energy levels and gives rise to fatigue, lethargy, and exhaustion, we turn to cool foods that give us respite from the relentless heat.
One such food that can counter the effects of summer and help us cool down and stay energized is Dahi. A comfort food, popular in all Indian households and used in so many savory and sweet recipes, or enjoyed just like that, on its own.
Cooling, soothing, light, and nutritious, this comfort food provides your body with protein, calcium, and Vitamin D that are essential for overall health.
Let us look at why Dahi qualifies as one the best Superfoods in summer:
- Provides Instant Energy
Light and effective, curd acts as an instant energy booster, especially in hot summers when heavy eating is not preferred by many. Those who are lactose intolerant or experience bloating on consuming dairy can opt for desi, A2 Dahi over regular Dahi.
- Boosts Immunity
The probiotic properties of Dahi help your body fight all kinds of infections and inflammation thereby keeping common ailments at bay. It truly is an all-rounder food.
- Improves Digestion
As mentioned before, Dahi is super light on the body and contains healthy bacteria that heal the gut and improve digestion. It can also be eaten as an accompaniment with your meals – maybe as a refreshing dip in your salad or thinned down and enjoyed with some fruity syrups.
- Eliminates dandruff
Summer can cause humidity and sweat which traps bacteria, dirt, and pollutants. These accumulate on the scalp and make the scalp barrier weak and lead to dandruff. Applying some cooling curd to your scalp for an hour will get rid of dandruff and keep your hair healthy.
- Relieves anxiety and stress
It is hard not to feel a little worn out and stressed in summer when lethargy and fatigue creep up on you during hot afternoons and early evenings. Curd is known to lower the level of activity in the brain that can cause negative feelings. So, incorporating Dahi into your diet is a good way to rid yourself of any anxiety and stress.
Pro Tip – By substituting Dahi for desi, A2 Dahi which is healthier, richer, tastier, and made with the milk of desi cows, you can multiply these awesome Dahi benefits.
