Healthy living by eating indian tamil food rasam (ரசம்)

                 

                        For optimal health you need a very good gut (intestine). Research found out if you have good Probiotics (bacteria) in your stomach you will be able to fight diseases. now a days people eat outside a lot and you don't know what ingredients they use and it promotes unhealthy gut. Have ever had stomach issue and you take pills to help with gas etc.

                      Rasam in Tamil means juice. Our ancestor had this part of their meal. Rasam has a lot of medicinal benefits especially aids in digestion and gut health. Rasam is eaten with white rice or just drink it. Rasam is easy prepare with less time. My belief is rasam promotes good gut and health.
