India's cultural diversity is deep rooted in its traditions. We celebrate each festival with much fervour. As the first Navratri of the year reigns in the new season, here's all you need to know about how our dietery habits also transition from spring to summer: Grains and millets are a part of our daily meals all around the year. But as the wind gets hotter, your body needs to detox. The seasonal change tends to lower our immunity, making us more susceptible to fall sick. Ayurveda tells us to take a break from whole grains like wheat and millets, that slow down the digestion process, and switch to alternatives that are full of nutrients and easy on the stomach. Since breads and rice are staples in our daily meals, the best replacement during Navratri fasts can be found in buckwheat or kuttu, water chestnut flour also known as singhde ka atta, and our favourite sabudana. Enjoy these alternatives to give your stomach and your taste buds a delicious change.
