Health Tips: Benefits of having nutmeg
Helps in digestion
Some of the most common issues we Indians face are related to our digestive system. This is because of the spicy food we all love to eat. If you are someone who suffers constantly from indigestion, bloating, or gas-related issues, keep no room for despair. Nutmeg has amazing digestive properties. Using it in small amounts in your favorite dishes can rid you of all your digestive issues.
Kicks away your pain
Have you ever heard of a natural pain reliever? The essential oil derived from the nutmeg seeds can be used as a miracle-working pain reliever when used in moderation. However, you are advised to do so very cautiously as usage in large amounts can be toxic.
Relieves from inflammation
Another amazing fact about nutmeg is that it is filled with anti-inflammatory properties. Consuming this natural anti-inflammatory ingredient can impact your overall health positively.
Acts like a natural antioxidant
The presence of oxidants in your bloodstream can prove to be toxic in the long run. This is the reason why dieticians advise consuming more foods rich in antioxidants. Nutmeg is rich in these properties.
Your friendly replacement for sleeping pill
According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), around 35 percent of adults have symptoms of brief insomnia, around 20 percent have short-term insomnia, and around 10 percent have chronic insomnia disorder. If you are someone who falls in one of these categories, you must consume a small amount of nutmeg with warm milk to treat your insomnia.
