Winter dryness is a common problem occurred when the air becomes cold and the humidity strips off the natural moisture. While it may look cosy on the outside, a lot of health issues often arise during the winter season because of several reasons, a few of which include dry skin, cracked heels, bloating, etc. WebMD explains, "Cold air sucks out skin's moisture, which is why even young, smooth hands can look cracked in the winter months. Taking hot showers can worsen dry, itchy skin by removing the natural layer of oil that preserves and protects the skin's moisture. Your lips also take a beating in the winter. The cold wind outside, combined with the dry air inside, can leave you with dry, chapped lips." However, the good news is that winter problems do not require heavy supplements or complicated diets, but a simple solution can help you reset your skin.

She explains that it is a mix of tender pulses, wild-uncultivated veggies and root vegetables. In her words, "It is a must-have this winter, at least once a fortnight. It is beautiful and the ultimate prebiotic passed that our grandmas have left behind in the form of a beautiful tradition of a recipe and a sabzi to be eaten this winter."
