(Instagram)    <\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been experiencing regular winter issues, sleep loss, increased gas, bloating, <a class=\"backlink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/lifestyle\/health\/dermatologist-explains-why-pollution-is-a-silent-risk-for-hair-fall-suggests-tips-to-reduce-negative-impact-101765272504760.html\" data-vars-page-type=\"story\" data-vars-link-type=\"Manual\" data-vars-anchor-text=\"hair fall\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">hair fall<\/a>, dandruff, dry skin, and cracked heels, then I have the perfect recipe for you,\u201d says Rujuta. She further shares 3 local, seasonal, and traditional foods that are must-haves this winter.<\/p>\n<p>     1. Bajra \u2013 The winter millet<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBajra is the millet of the winters. You can roll it into a roti, make laddus, or cook it into a rub, it\u2019s delicious. It\u2019s great for your bones, your brain, and it will help arrest hair fall quickly. If you\u2019ve been running low on <a class=\"backlink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/lifestyle\/health\/struggling-with-low-haemoglobin-add-this-vegetable-to-your-daily-diet-101765694779122.html\" data-vars-page-type=\"story\" data-vars-link-type=\"Manual\" data-vars-anchor-text=\"haemoglobin\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">haemoglobin<\/a> or feeling a bit low on energy, bajra is perfect for you,\u201d Rujuta explains.<\/p>\n<p>   2. Unia \u2013 Seasonal vegetable medley<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnia is a seasonal vegetable medley commonly made in regions like Mumbai, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. It\u2019s a mix of tender pulses, wild and uncultivated vegetables, and root veggies. This is a must-have in winters,\u201d she adds. \u201cTry to include it at least once a fortnight. It\u2019s the ultimate <a class=\"backlink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/lifestyle\/health\/gut-health-expert-reveals-3-supplements-that-support-his-fitness-routine-from-prebiotics-to-protein-powder-101761128287465.html\" data-vars-page-type=\"story\" data-vars-link-type=\"Manual\" data-vars-anchor-text=\"prebiotic\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">prebiotic<\/a>, a tradition passed down by our grandmothers in the form of this wholesome winter recipe. If you don\u2019t have unia in your region, any medley of tender pulses, root veggies, and wild vegetables will do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> 3. Dry coconut \u2013 The ultimate energy booster<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd finally, the ultimate rockstar, dry coconut. If you\u2019ve been feeling lazy or finding it hard to get out of your rajai for a workout, this is the energy boost you need, not another caffeine drink,\u201d Rujuta advises. \u201cDry coconut is packed with medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), the healthy fats that give you energy, help burn <a class=\"backlink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/lifestyle\/health\/fitness-coach-shares-best-diet-to-lose-weight-for-men-and-women-over-30-struggling-with-stubborn-fat-101758293849356.html\" data-vars-page-type=\"story\" data-vars-link-type=\"Manual\" data-vars-anchor-text=\"stubborn fat\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">stubborn fat<\/a>, smooth your skin, and leave you feeling calm and content. Make sure to include it this winter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rujuta concludes, \u201cThese three foods are simple, traditional, and seasonal ways to stay healthy, energised, and glowing all winter long.
