Abstract
In order to keep active and healthy during the summer, we must constantly hydrate our bodies. With the heat waves and blistering sun draining every ounce of energy from our bodies, it's crucial to keep track of how we can start the day so that we have enough energy to get through the day. Sattu is an excellent way to begin the day. The nutrient-dense food item can be turned into a sharbat and eaten on an empty stomach or after a sufficient gap from the previous meal.
Sattu, which is high in calcium, iron, and fiber, aids in blood circulation and inflammation reduction. It also aids in the strengthening of hair and the improvement of skin quality. Daily consumption of sattu aids in the control of blood sugar levels and the regulation of blood pressure. Sattu is a low-glycemic-index food that is beneficial to diabetics. It is good for persons with high cholesterol because it is high in fiber.
