Dengue Diet Tips

One of the main reasons for the increased incidences of dengue in our lives today (apart from more mosquitoes) is the fact that people have weaker immune systems. Constant dieting and overexercising often puts people at a risk of diseases like dengue, so does having unregulated blood sugars and hormonal imbalances (read PCOD, Diabetes and Thyroid problems). Here's a list of things that are both tasty and therapeutic and go a long way in preventing the risk of infection and accelerate recovery of dengue, according to celeb nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar.

Gulkand Dengue

Take 1 tsp of Gulkand either first thing in the morning or in between meals. It prevents acidity, nausea and weakness.

Rice Kanji Dengue

Rice kanji or pej – This is essentially a soup made of rice. Add kalanamak or sendha namak, pinch of hing (try and get the good one from Kochi, Kerala) and ghee. It prevents dehydration, loss of electrolytes and works on improving the appetite. Also Read - Can Divorce Impact Children's Behavior And Mental Health?
