Two foods to help with an afternoon slump

In the clip, Rujuta explained that an afternoon slump means feeling sleepy post-lunch. According to the nutritionist, the slump feels as “if you don't drink tea or coffee or smoke a cigarette, you will end up in a coma”.

So, if you don't want to feel irritable, sleepy or tired post lunch, here are the two things you should be adding to your lunch according to Rujuta Diwekar:

1. Ghee:

According to Rujuta, adding ghee to your diet will help with the problem of afternoon slump. She said, “Ghee is very good for your health and those suffering from Vitamin D and B12 deficiency.”

Additionally, if you are someone who feels that over time you have been getting fat, you have a thyroid issue, there is pigmentation on the skin, or you are suffering from constipation, you need ghee in your lunch. Rujuta suggested adding at least a teaspoon of ghee to your lunch.

2. Chutney:

The second thing that Rujuta suggested was chutney. She stressed that chutneys need to be a part of your lunch. It can be any chutney – curry leaves, coconut, dal, flaxseed or any other chutney. She added that there are a lot of chutneys that are part of our collective Indian cuisine. So, any of these chutneys is good for you.
