All right, lots to get through with anjeer! So you’re eating one or two dried figs (same as anjeer) a day, which is def a good start. Now, soaking them? Yeah, there’s some wisdom there. When you soak anjeer overnight, it becomes easier for your body to digest. Ayurvedic texts do highlight the benefit of soaking dry fruits—this process softens the fibers, making the nutrients more accessible and gentler on your digestive system. Try soaking anjeer in water overnight; you can then eat it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This helps kickstart your digestion for the day.
About the bloating—adding anjeer can help, but keep it balanced. They’re rich in fiber, which is great for digestion but too much can be, well, counterproductive and lead to the very upset tummy or diarrhea you might worry about. To ease digestif system, start with one soaked fig in the morning.
For weight: It’s kinda both. While the fiber content may help you feel full and potentially aid in controlling overeating, the natural sugars and calorie content can add up, especially if overdone. So moderation, as always, is key!
Recipes-wise, oh yes, you can totally toss them into salads, grind into smoothies, or even mix with nuts and honey as a sweet treat without losing too much nutritional value. Heating might slightly reduce some nutrients but overall, they’re versatile. They blend well in desserts like figs and almond milk shakes.
Caution for diabetics: Anjeer does have sugars. So, if you’re diabetic, keep an eye on those sugar levels. Best consult with a healthcare provider to be sure it fit with your dietary plan.
Oh! And do keep in mind allergies or individual digestive reactions. If anything odd happens, it’s worth consulting a health practitioner to make sure anjeer suits your unique body type—ayurvedically we call this your ‘prakriti’, or constitution.
