The key lies in fermentation.
As almost every food item in the South Indian cuisine menu goes through fermentation, it is good for health. The fermented food items have three really great advantages over other food items.
1.It is easier to digest; your body needs to put in less energy to consume the South Indian cuisine.”
2.Fermented food has a higher nutritional value. That is so because the fermentation process boosts the nutritional value of the food. It also leads to good bacteria intake in the body. And as the nutritional value increases, our body absorbs more nutrients.
3.Fermented food also gives a boost to the gut health of the human body. Regular consumption of the South Indian cuisine leads to overall good gut health.
We also know that the majority of the lifestyle diseases emerge from a bad gut, and fermented food fights those diseases.
That is not the case when it comes to food from other regions of India, especially the North India. Most of the North Indian food is not fermented. People in North India eat chapatis or boiled pulses and that food does not have the same effect on our body as fermented food has.
Fermentation is not the only key ingredient in the South Indian cuisine; fermented food cooked in coconut oil is the original game changer. We all know the benefits of coconut oil.
All these things are connected: healthy gut, nice skin and good hair. The consumption of South Indian cuisine affects you internally as well as externally. And do not forget the consumption of coconut water: it helps maintain the electrolyte balance in the body.
