BENEFITS OF PULSES
Legumes comprise different components that, when eaten as part of a balanced plant-rich diet, may help inhibit the development of various chronic diseases:
1.Good For Heart
Mainly fibers in legumes may especially help to lower blood cholesterol even without weight changes and may prevent sharp rises in blood sugar, both of which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. An observational study found that eating legumes about 4 times weekly was associated with a 14% reduced risk of coronary artery disease.
2.Beneficial For Diarrhea
Aggravated Vata brings fluid in the intestine from various tissues of the body and mixes with the stool. This starts to loose, watery motions, or diarrhea. Adding dal soup helps to control the symptoms of diarrhea and makes the stool thick because of its Grahi (absorbent) property.
3. Help In Weight loss
When dal took regularly in the diet, helps in managing weight because of its Laghu (light) nature. It also helps to remove Ama (toxic remains in the body because of improper digestion) from the body, which is the main cause of weight gain.
4. Healthy For High cholesterol
An imbalance of Pachak Agni (digestive fire) mainly caused high cholesterol. Impaired digestion at the tissue level produces Ama (toxic remains in the body because of improper digestion). This results in the accumulation of bad cholesterol and a blockage in the blood vessels. Thus, dal helps in controlling the high cholesterol levels.
5. Help In Stomatitis
Stomatitis is a condition of extreme swelling inside the mouth. It is called Mukhapaka in Ayurveda. Mukhapaka involves all three doshas (mainly Pitta) and can also lead to bleeding sometimes. Moong dal dhuli improves the healing process and reduces inflammation due to its Ropan (healing) property.
6. Good For Uric Acid
