The power of haleem seeds
In a post shared on December 18, Dr Shubham Vatsya, a gastroenterologist and hepatologist at Fortis Vasant Kunj with over 10 years of experience, highlighted the benefits of consuming haleem seeds, the best way to have them, and more. He emphasised that they are naturally rich in iron, folate, calcium, and essential minerals that support energy levels, hair strength, bone health, and digestion.
According to Dr Vatsya, iron deficiency doesn’t always need complicated fixes. Sometimes, the most powerful solutions come in the smallest forms. He recommended haleem seeds, also known as garden cress seeds, for this particular complication.
Additionally, if taken correctly and consistently, they help improve haemoglobin and overall vitality from within. Simple, affordable, and deeply underrated, this is nutrition your body actually understands.
Benefits of haleem
Haleem seeds are an effective solution for addressing the problems of iron deficiency and anaemia, Dr Vatsya highlights. Additionally, they can be a genuinely life-changing solution for you if you are struggling with:
- fatigue
- dizziness
- excessive hair fall
- weak bones
- low haemoglobin
“These tiny red seeds are so dense in iron and folate that just half a teaspoon daily can visibly improve your haemoglobin, energy levels, and hair fall,” he added.
Apart from iron and folate, haleem seeds are also rich in calcium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C, which help strengthen the bones. “They boost immunity and increase iron absorption manifold. The fibre present in these seeds facilitates smooth digestion and helps reduce constipation, while the antioxidants naturally reduce inflammation,” he added.
One rule to remember
For consuming haleem seeds, Dr Vastya stressed that one should just remember one rule: “Haleem seeds should not be taken alone. Taking them with coconut oil, ghee, or milk makes both absorption and digestion easier.”
