Ayurveda recommends foods that are warming, nourishing, and easy to digest during winter. These include root vegetables, squashes, smaller lentils, and legumes. Healthy fats like ghee, sesame oil, and mustard oil are ideal for combating dryness. Seasonal fruits like amla (Indian gooseberry) are rich in vitamin C and traditionally used to support immunity. Warm milky drinks, such as turmeric-infused golden milk, are also favoured for their soothing and grounding qualities.
