    Health, according to the World Health Organization, is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity”.[1] A variety of definitions have been used for different purposes over time. Health can be promoted by encouraging healthful activities, such as regular physical exercise and adequate sleep,[2] and by reducing or avoiding unhealthful activities or situations, such as smoking or excessive stress. Some factors affecting health are due to individual choices, such as whether to engage in a high-risk behavior, while others are due to structural causes, such as whether the society is arranged in a way that makes it easier or harder for people to get necessary healthcare services. Still other factors are beyond both individual and group choices, such as genetic disorders.

    When we are sick, our moms advise us to eat khichdi because it is considered as a nutritious food. But no one wants to eat khichdi unless they are sick. Well, because most people may find it boring or tasteless. What if we turn your tasteless khichdi into a delicious and nutritious meal that you can enjoy anytime? If you are curious to know now, let us introduce you to bajra khichdi or millet porridge. 

    Bajra khichdi is a traditional north Rajasthan dish that is not only one of the simplest things to make but also the healthiest you can eat. 

    In fact, bajra is not just famous for being used to prepare a khichdi but people also enjoy bajre ki roti, bajra methi ki puri, majra mathri, bajra thepla and many more. But the one bajra dish that you can and should enjoy this winter is bajre ki khichdi.

    So, how is bajra khichdi good for your health?

    Deepti Khatuja, Head Clinical Nutritionist, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, tells HealthShots that “Bajra khichdi made is rich in various nutrients like phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and fibre, etc which may reduce degenerative diseases like blood pressure and diabetes and weight. As Bajra Khichdi also contains a good amount of iron, it is also important for anemic patients as iron is considered as one of the most important components that helps prevent and control anemia.”

    Iron also improves memory and cognitive abilities. The fiber in Bajra khichdi is helpful in aiding the digestive process and it relieves constipation issues and weight loss without causing weakness. 

    She adds, “Bajra has many antioxidant properties as it contains flavonoids, lignin, and phytonutrients. This helps us fight against infection, the anti-ageing process and rejuvenates our skin. It also promotes good eye health. Bajra khichdi can be very helpful for chronic asthma patients because it contains magnesium and omega 3 fatty acids that have anti-inflammatory properties.” What’s more, it is also a good source of phosphorus which is important for bone growth and development.”
