Guideline 3 - Have fresh sugarcane juice before noon, atleast thrice a week

This guideline may catch you off guard but it’s going to be a sweet surprise to you. What’s the super food that India uses in every Puja to make a mandap? Which it offers to the fire at Lohri? To Vishnu at Tulsi vivaah? To the Sun at Pongal? Sugarcane, ganna, you got it.

Have the sugarcane juice (atleast thrice a week), it’s a natural detox and pitta shamak. The stuff that looks after the pitta or the heat response in the body. It’s a natural coolant but comes in season during the winters. Here’s how you should have it for the best benefits -
• Have it freshly squeezed
• Preferably before noon
• Sit down when you drink it

A lot of the traditional Ayurvedic remedies use sugarcane and its derivatives. It is the harvest of the season and a store house of antioxidants, fibre and micro-minerals. Here are some of its many benefits –
- It works like a diuretic, removes bloating and tiredness and helps the kidneys function better.
- It helps optimise liver function and is also used as a treatment for jaundice.
- It gives you smooth skin and prevents acne (has Alpha hydroxy acids, AHA) and also dandruff in your hair
- It helps with constipation and weakness.
- It’s a fertility booster, known to improve both sperm quality and lactation in new mommies.

In the winters, it’s especially useful as most people forget to drink water. If you are the type who wakes up in the night often, have a glass of it in the morning.

Kitchen secret – do you get spotting before periods? Second day tougher than the first? Make sure that you are having the sugarcane juice a week before periods and you are sorted.

This has the potential to go the golden milk route but hopefully you will adopt it before it is called the green nectar.
