The Writer is raw mango: Kachchi kairi, or raw mango, is etched in all of our summer memories, as strongly as are the scorching winds, the uncomfortable heat and the relentless sun. Drinking juice of raw mango during summers is more than a mere exercise in palate pleasing. The drink reduces the effects of intense heat and prevents dehydration, by stopping excessive loss of sodium chloride and iron from the body. These minerals often tend to leach out into your sweat, during summers, making you dehydrated.
Raw mango is also consumed for its action against gastrointestinal disorders, which tend to go up during the summers. It is often prescribed to people with morning sickness, constipation, diarrhoea, chronic dyspepsia and indigestion.
Raw mangoes are great for the liver, and are believed to treat liver ailments. Having a little bit of raw mango powder cures the afternoon drowsiness that often takes effect after your meals. This is because raw mango gives your body an energy boost that wakes you up and helps you perform well. & HOD, Neurology BLK Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi
