When Rujuta Diwekar doles out diet tips, you listen. Not just because she’s responsible for the fabulous physiques of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt, but also because her advice is rooted in ancient Indian wisdom. Always. Time and again, she has encouraged eating seasonal and local. No avocados or quinoa, thank you very much. Diwekar is a big champion of ditching expensive imports and sticking to regional varieties of fruits, vegetables and grains.
In a recent social media post, she has recommended fresh dates this monsoon. According to the celeb nutritionist, dates are fertility boosters and great for improving immunity levels.
Here are the top 3 reasons to eat dates, according to Rujuta Diwekar:
1) They are the perfect mix of soluble and insoluble fiber, which will keep constipation, bloating and irritability at bay.
2) Dates are loaded with calcium and magnesium, which let you sport a toned look, help cut down the flab and ensure that you stay away from midnight cramps.
3) They are vitamin-rich, and so will prevent skin damage, repair frizzy hair and the vitamin B6 content will keep your mood elevated.
