Til And Gur: The Winter Staple

Looking for something to munch on this Sankranti? Learn why the humble til and gur is an excellent winter snack!

Jaggery and Sesame seeds - Health benefits


Winter and snacking, they go hand in hand. It's inevitable! But isn't there a way you can snack on yummy things and still be healthy? It's not difficult at all! Think of the tried and tested favorite til gajak, roasted peanuts, and rewaris. Tasty, comforting and not to mention healthy! So push aside those oily samosas, fattening pies, creamy soups and cheesy snacks and say hello to the good old til and gur.


There's a reason Indian grocery stores stock up on gajak, rewari, til laddus, and til candies as soon as winter arrives! Sesame seeds or tilas we call it, are an important part of winter cuisine. Black and white, both of these varieties have been known to generate heat in the body after digestion.


Jaggery or gur is another favorite winter staple. It helps in combating the cold and is known to have heating properties. It acts a perfect companion to til, complementing til's crunchiness with its rich sweetness.


Health benefits of til (sesame seeds) and gur (jaggery)


Apart from a distinct and pleasant taste and their ability to provide heat in the body, til and gur are high on nutritional values as well.


Half a cup of sesame seeds contains approximately three times more calcium than equivalent quantity of whole milk. Surprised? That isn't all! Til is also considered to be one of the richest sources of iron in Indian vegetarian cooking. Apart from iron, sesame seedsalso contain dietary copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, zinc, vitamin B1, vitamin, protin and fiber.


Sesame seeds also contain sesamin and sesamolin, substances that are thought to lower and prevent high blood pressure. It also helps in protecting the liver against oxidative damage.


Gur or jaggery is a good source of iron. It contains 10 times more iron as compared to spinach. It is considered to be healthier than refined sugar as it contains several vitamins and minerals like iron, phosphorous, magnesium and potassium. It is also a natural cure for cough, migraine, cold, asthma, fatigue and indigestion.


Cultural associations of til (sesame seeds) and gur (jaggery)


Til and gur also have strong religious and cultural associations in the Indian society. Two festivals,Lohri and Maker Sankranti, celebrated during winter season hold great association with til and gur. Both of these festivals are celebrated to thank God for the good harvest of crops for that season. Eating til (sesame seeds) and gur (jaggery) is considered auspicious during these festivals.

... DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH 

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese med ical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, ga str itis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and ear nose and throat diseases.

METHOD OF TREATMENT

1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth , drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water .....interesting 

2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes

3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.

The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/ reduce main diseases:

1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days

2. Ga str ic - 10 days

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.

It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life.

Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.

This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed . It will slow down the digestion.

Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.


A serious note about heart attacks : Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.

Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.

Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.

60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.

Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...
