The everyday superfoods that help moms stay energised, strong, and healthy through life’s endless demands
In recent years, millets have returned to Indian kitchens, and for good reason. Unlike refined carbohydrates that digest quickly and leave people hungry soon after, whole grains release energy slowly.
Ragi, bajra, jowar, oats, and brown rice provide fibre, minerals, and sustained energy. These foods can help mothers avoid the cycle of exhaustion and frequent snacking that often comes with rushed schedules.
Dt Simrat Kathuria notes, “People who eat millets and whole grains instead of refined carbohydrates experience improved digestion and consistent energy levels throughout the day.”
Hydration matters just as much.
“The combination of coconut water, herbal teas, and proper water consumption helps users achieve better digestion results while sustaining their energy and maintaining their skin health,” she adds.
Many women continue functioning even while dehydrated because they become used to ignoring thirst. But even mild dehydration can affect concentration, mood, digestion, and energy levels.
Perhaps this Mother’s Day is also about reminding them that their own plate matters too.
