The best way for your body to keep pace with the changing season is through the food that you eat. The right consumption of dairy products can help your body achieve a state of equilibrium with respect to your energy, immunity, digestive system, and moods, considering the change of weather that is happening in the country. The following are some useful seasonal tips on how you can best use the most common dairy products such as milk, ghee, paneer, curd, chaas, and skimmed milk powder, etc., on a daily basis, and the importance of choosing the right dairy products for your consumption.
Summer Season: Cool, Hydrate, and Replenish Electrolytes
The summer season is a time of the year when your diet has to be light and hydrating. Instead of gravies, you have to depend on lassi, chaas, and milk drinks, etc. This will help you replenish the salt that is being drained from your body during the summer season.
Tip: Take a cup of sweet lassi like mango lassi during the afternoon, and you are good to go. This will help you hydrate your body, and the live good bacteria that are present in the lassi or chaas will help cool your stomach and provide the much-needed electrolytes. Skimmed milk powder will provide you with the much-needed protein for your busy schedule.
Why it works: lassi or chaas is a fermented dairy product that will help cool your stomach and provide the much-needed electrolytes. Skimmed milk powder is a lean protein that will provide you with the much-needed protein for your busy schedule.
Monsoon - Digestive Health, Fermented Dairy, and Heated Dairy
In the monsoon, the chances that your digestive system is disturbed are high. You should eat a lot of probiotics and heated, cooked dairy products.
Tip: In the monsoon time, you should eat a lot of curd rice and chaas, and should not eat raw dairy products. Paneer and curd soups are light on your stomach and provide you with much-needed probiotics and protein. Pasteurized milk from Govind should be used for cooking, and you would be good to go.
Why it works: Probiotics are good for your stomach, and the heat from the cooked dairy products reduces the chances of infections from raw dairy products.
Winter: Nourish, warm, and restore
The winter season is a time when your metabolism is slow and your body is burning a lot of energy. This is the time when fats that you should be eating for warmth and brain function become useful.
Tip: Use a spoon of ghee on your rotis or on your dals for fats. Make some warm kheers or basundis (occasionally) for a quick energy boost. Use paneer as a high-protein food for your winter lunches. Add paneer to your sabzi for a high-protein meal.
Why it works: Healthy fats are useful for vitamin absorption and provide a constant supply of energy.
Transition Seasons - Spring/Autumn: Detox lightly, focus on equilibrium
In transition seasons, you should aim for equilibrium. The diet should have moderate amounts of fats, protein, and probiotics.
Tip: Have light breakfasts like milk and fruits, or protein breakfasts like smoothies of skimmed milk powder or paneer salad. Continue with your daily portion of curd or buttermilk to keep your immunity levels high. Try Govind’s readymade mixes like Ragi Kheer, Shahi Kheer, and other mixes for your healthy breakfast or evening snacks.
Everyday Rules: Apply for All Seasons
Choose traceable milk. Choose brands that are transparent about the source of the milk they use. It is important to choose traceable milk and go through multiple quality checks before consuming the milk or dairy products. Govind has introduced the concept of traceability via QR codes on the packaging of the products, and multiple quality checks are conducted on the premises of the plant.
Tip: If you are planning an active day, choose skimmed milk powder or low-fat curd. If it is a rest day or winter, choose whole milk and add a spoon of ghee.
Tip: To keep your immunity high, choose dairy products like curd or buttermilk daily. The gut is the foundation of your immunity during the seasons.
Utilize the dairy products properly. Use ghee for absorption and warmth, use paneer for satiety and protein, and use milk for hydration and calcium.
