News India Live, Digital Desk: We are very fond of Indian food. In our house the day is not complete without pulses and rice. Pigeon pea, moong or masoor dal is prepared daily, but the new generation may not have even seen the dal I am talking about today. Its name is horse gram. Nowadays, people leave it as ‘food of the poor’ or an old thing, but believe me, after knowing its properties, you will be ready to buy it even at the price of gold. It is the enemy of kidney stones. If anyone around you is suffering from kidney stones, then doctors often tell them to drink a lot of water. But old doctors and grandmothers always advised to eat ‘Kulthi water’ or Kulthi pulses. It has such natural power that it can break the stones into pieces and take them out from the urinary tract. It also helps in preventing stones from forming again. Why is it best for winter? Now that the cold of December is increasing, this lentil can act as a heater for your body. Its nature is hot. If you catch cold quickly or feel very cold, then make soup or dal from it and drink it twice a week. It gives warmth to the body from inside. Controls both weight and sugar. Nowadays, we all sweat in the gym to lose weight and follow various diets. But horse gram contains so much fiber that it keeps your stomach full for a long time and boosts metabolism. Also, it is no less than a boon for diabetes patients as it helps in reducing insulin resistance. So next time you go to the grocery store, bring half a kilo of ‘Kulthi’ instead of fancy packaged foods. Both your kidneys and your stomach will thank you!
