As the Holi competition approaches, preparations are being made for vibrant celebrations stuffed with pleasure, laughter, and, after all, scrumptious treats. Among the massive show of festive delights, Thandai stands out as a beloved conventional drink that not solely attracts the style buds but additionally gives an entire bunch of peculiar well being advantages.

“Derived from the Hindi phrase ‘thanda,’ which means ‘cool,’ Thandai is a refreshing appetizer that has been loved for generations in the course of the Holi competition. While its cooling properties make it ideally suited for beating the extraordinary Indian summer time warmth, its dietary worth provides an additional layer of worth,” says Mehakdeep (Mac) Singh, co-founder & dietician, Fitelo.

Thandai’s nutritional supremacy originates from its various ingredients, each of which contributes to a distinct flavor and health-promoting properties. Singh explains it all:

1. Almonds, the main ingredient of the beverage, are high in protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins, which promote heart health, skin vitality, and long-lasting energy.
2. Milk provides calcium and vitamin D, which are necessary for strong bones and teeth.
   But Thandai’s health benefits do not end there.
3. Cardamom, fennel seeds, and rose petals not only add pleasant flavors to the drink, but they also aid digestion, soothe the stomach, and cleanse the blood.
4. The addition of saffron, which is known for its antioxidant properties, improves immunity and overall well-being.

   One of the most surprising benefits of the drink lies in its ability to reduce tiredness and restore energy levels. During the festival of colors, when hours of enjoyment can leave one feeling drained, a refreshing glass can provide a much-needed boost, keeping high spirits and energy levels.

   Lastly, Thandai acts as a hydrating elixir, restoring lost fluids and preventing dehydration, during the Holi celebrations. Its immune-boosting properties and nutrient-rich ingredients provide an additional protection against seasonal illnesses, ensuring a healthy and enjoyable festive experience for everyone.
   So, as you celebrate Holi, don’t forget to enjoy the goodness of Thandai, an authentic symbol of ‘health’ and ‘happiness’ in ‘every sip.’
