Kapha-Reducing Energy Balls—Snacks For Kapha Dosha
According to a Sattvic diet, our bodies are made up of three doshas—Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These no-heat energy balls are perfect snacks for balancing Kapha dosha, and are packed with the goodness of antioxidants, essential nutrients and immunity boosters.
Avenanthramides (AVA) are only found in oats. This type of antioxidant is responsible for lowering blood pressure and increasing better blood flow. Antioxidants are immune boosters. So keep this in mind the next time you plan to throw away the peels of any citrus fruit. Lemon zest contains essential nutrients like magnesium, calcium, potassium and vitamin C. All these work towards reducing damage to cells and improving the health of your skin and hair.
Honey is a well-known quick home remedy for a sore throat. The golden liquid is antifungal and antibacterial in nature. Ancient Egyptians used honey as a staple beauty product to rejuvenate the body inside out. Honey is also abundant in phytonutrients that helps to boost immunity.
Dates are rich in potassium concentration and low in sodium concentration. This makes it an ideal food that decreases neurological issues like Alzheimer’s and boosts neurological health. Also, the high level of vitamin C and D improves your skin by supplying it with all the nutrients required.
Ginger is used as a traditional remedy for nausea, pain and inflammation. It treats muscle pain and indigestion effectively. This root spice also safeguards the DNA that causes fetal deformity.
Cinnamon has been used as a natural preservative since ages. It contains compounds like cinnamaldehyde and eugenol that decrease bacterial growth in food and cosmetics. This spice also adds an exotic flavour to foods.
