Misri or sugar is not only a sweet that enhances the taste of the mouth, but also has many health and medicinal properties. In Ayurvedic scriptures, pepper is considered as an excellent and beneficial ingredient. Sweets are healthier for the body than regular sugar, as they are naturally produced and do not contain harmful chemicals like sugar. Hence it has been used as medicine and mouthwash since ancient times.
Eating sweets has many benefits for the body. Eating pepper with saffron seeds (Saunf) after meals improves digestion and relieves acidity. Besides, pepper is very useful in problems like dehydration, cough or sore throat. Applying garlic powder mixed with pepper gives quick relief from sore throat and cough. Michiri is also good for people suffering from anemia as it helps improve hemoglobin levels. Chili also provides instant energy to the body and removes mental fatigue or weakness.
The effects and benefits of chillies are particularly significant in summer. The nature or property of the sweet is ‘cooling nature’ so drinking pepper juice or water is very beneficial during hot season to control the body temperature and cool the body from inside. In extreme heat, water is lost from the body through sweating and dehydration is likely. So it is recommended to mix chillies in a glass of water to remove water deficiency and refresh the body immediately.
Besides, many suffer from nosebleeds due to high body temperature on hot days. In such cases, drinking sweet water reduces the body temperature and relieves this problem. It also helps to relieve eye irritation. In short, sweets are a natural and effective way to protect yourself from the intense summer sun and heat. When consumed in the right amount, it plays an important role in keeping the body cool and fresh and improving overall health.
