GOODNESS OF CONSUMING LENTILS

Lentils are grains that are rich in Vitamin E which very essential for the formation of our healthy skin. Lentils have the properties to heal melamine formation and also to balance our skin tone and heals any damages skin.

There are different types of lentils. Most of the Indian households cook dhall very frequently in a week. This is one of their favourite dishes which is prepared to be consumed with rice or chapati.

The most important aspect that everyone must know is what they type of lentils that they have been eating, and you must check whether it is good for their body.
For example those who have lots of wind in their body, should avoid eating Australian Dhal. This is because there has been a lot of experiment conducted and it has been reported that those who consume this Australian Dhal tend to have knee pain and having too much of gas which caused havoc to their stomach.

Hence everyone must get the knowledge of how to overcome this problem, especially when you are consuming this meal daily in your home.

In India people are so poor that they eat only rice with dhall daily or just with raw onions and chilies.

The better lentils are Malawi Dhal, Mysore Dhal and Moong Dhall which contains lots of nutrition and has lots of goodness for those who consume them.

It has been said in India, the Ayurveda practitioners recommend their patients to consume Moong Dhall twice day in soup or eaten as a curry because helps to remove gas or ‘pitta’ in the body. This is because the gas causes the patient to have gastric problems, stomach bloatedness and leg pain. This dhall not only helps to reduce the wind your body, but also helps to cool down the body and improves one’s eyesight.

In certain countries where those who are unable to find this Moong Dhall you can also buy Malawi and Mysore Dhall which also has its own benefits.

However those who prefer to ear Thuvar Dhall or also known as ‘Thuvarum Paruppu” should add lots of cumin seeds, garlic, ginger, asafetida to remove the gas in the said dhall.
