With the onset of summer, it is essential to include summer-friendly foods in one’s diet. One such superfood that works best for dry weather is sabja seeds or sweet basil seeds.
Sabja seeds act as a natural body coolant. They are known to reduce body heat and have a soothing effect on the stomach. They are extremely rich in fibre and when added to one's diet can help relieve constipation and acidity.
Sabja seeds have a calming effect on the body as well as the mind, so consequently they help in relieving stress, tension and anxiety. These tiny seeds have anti-viral and anti-fungal properties and can be used as a mouth freshener in times of need.
You can consume sabja seeds by adding them to a variety of drinks like lemonade, coconut water, milkshakes or smoothies. You can even add them to a glass of water with a pinch of salt and some sugar and you'll be good to go!
