Struggling with hair fall, dandruff, and winter woes? Celebrity dietitian says add these 3 local foods now

Winter can be brutal on your body. From dry skin and cracked heels to hair fall, bloating, and fatigue, the season brings a slew of health challenges. Celebrity dietitian Rujuta Diwekar shared a simple, traditional solution on Instagram: three local, seasonal foods that your body will thank you for. Packed with nutrients, energy-boosting compounds, and gut-friendly goodness, these foods tackle multiple winter problems, helping you feel lively, nourished, and radiant without relying on artificial fixes.

Bajra

First on the list is Bajra, the quintessential winter millet. Bajra can be rolled into rotis, turned into laddoos, or cooked into a warm, comforting raab. Beyond its versatility, it nourishes bones and boosts brain health. Bajra is also a secret weapon against hair fall and low haemoglobin, giving you a natural energy lift while keeping winter ailments at bay.

Undhiyu

Next is Undhiyu, a winter speciality from Gujarat and Maharashtra. This medley of pulses, tender vegetables, and wild uncultivated greens is a prebiotic powerhouse. Packed with nutrients, it supports gut health and digestion while reviving your body during colder months. If Undhiyu isn’t available locally, any seasonal vegetable medley with pulses and roots can provide similar benefits. Including it once or twice a fortnight can transform your winter diet.

Dry coconut

Finally, dry coconut acts as an all-natural energy booster. Full of medium-chain triglycerides, it helps burn stubborn fat, sustains energy for workouts, and keeps the skin smooth and glowing. Unlike caffeine, dry coconut offers a long-lasting energy lift while promoting calm and contentment. A handful as a snack or mixed into your dishes can help fight winter fatigue effectively.
