This 'Arab world' recipe may be the secret to keeping heat, exhaustion, constipation, and hair loss at bay | Food-wine News
Rujuta Diwekar, a celebrity nutritionist, shared a recipe for date raita, an Arab world remedy for summer heat, constipation and hair loss. The raita combines dates, curd, black salt and roasted cumin powder. While dates are a good source of fiber and energy, and curd provides probiotics, experts say there's no strong scientific evidence to support their effectiveness for constipation, hair loss, or other specific conditions mentioned by Diwekar. It can be a healthy addition to your diet but unlikely to be a cure-all.
