Also known as kamal kakdi, lotus root is actually the root of the lotus plant which grows underwater in muddy ponds. This super-healthy and nutritious vegetable is often used across Asian cuisines in the form of pickles and fries, and in curries. It is also great for weight loss and helps improve digestion. Here are its five health benefits.

Helps manage blood pressure

The high quantity of potassium present in lotus roots ensures a balance of fluids in the body. If you eat a lot of salt, then lotus roots do not allow the blood to absorb the extra salt and it also helps reduce bad cholesterol in the blood. It increases blood circulation and reduces the risk of heart disease.

     2. Good for weight loss

Lotus root has fewer calories and is loaded with dietary fiber which keeps you full for a longer period of time. It also helps in weight loss.

       3. Helps reduce stress

Lotus root is packed with vitamin B complex which helps in reducing stress, memory loss, headaches, and irritability. Consuming this vegetable regularly can help you relax and promote your mental clarity.

       4. Boosts digestion

High in dietary fiber, lotus root helps add bulk to the stool and promotes smooth bowel movements. This helps prevent constipation, boost your digestion and keep gastric problems at bay.

       5. Great for skin and hair

Rich in vitamins A, B, and C, lotus root is great for your skin health and makes it smooth and glowing. The vitamin C makes your skin healthy and firm. It also prevents premature graying of hair and strengthens the scalp, giving you a healthy mane.
