New Delhi, March 6: As the summer season begins, one of the biggest challenges is to maintain energy levels. Markets start to fill with various fruits that not only provide cooling and energy but also help in preventing several diseases. Among these is the unique fruit, Falsa, known for its sweet and sour taste.
Consuming Falsa in summer not only protects against heat strokes but also strengthens digestion, diabetes management, heart health, and immunity. Scientifically known as Grewia asiatica, Falsa is widely cultivated in the dry and semi-arid regions of India, including Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan.
According to the National Library of Science at the National Institutes of Health, Falsa is rich in vitamins A and C, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and fiber, while being low in calories and fat. It also contains magnesium, potassium, sodium, and protein, making it a powerful immunity booster.
One of the greatest advantages of Falsa in summer is its ability to cool the body from within, preventing heat strokes and alleviating weakness caused by sweating. Its juice acts as a natural tonic, providing an energy boost.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, consuming ripe Falsa is beneficial for those suffering from anemia or blood deficiency. It proves to be effective against skin irritation, stomach burns, bile disorders, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and digestive issues. Falsa helps maintain a healthy digestive system, regulating both constipation and diarrhea, and is considered beneficial for both body and mind. Its antioxidant properties also aid in preventing several serious diseases.
Falsa can be enjoyed fresh, made into juice, or added to chaat and salads. Its sweet-sour flavor may cause mild allergies or stomach discomfort in some individuals if consumed in large quantities. Therefore, it is advisable to start with small amounts and consult a doctor or nutritionist if necessary.
