Awareness around health and fitness has grown enormously, especially in the post-pandemic era. We are all very aware of what we eat and drink and how it affects our bodies and health. Gone are the days when we would snack endlessly between meals. Mindless overeating has given way to conscious eating, and rightly so. If you're looking for ways to get fit and start your weight loss journey, we have just what you need. Raisin curd is a weight loss remedy celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar recently shared as part of her ongoing series called The 12-Week Fitness Program.
Although it has always been a part of traditional Indian home remedies, we tend to forget or ignore these simple customs. In her post, Rujuta Diwekar reveals that curd with raisins is not only a great home remedy for weight loss but also has benefits for overall health. She says it's easy to make, affordable, and accessible to everyone. It's great for satisfying hunger pangs during a meal, or just to boost our digestive system with good bacteria.

Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar reveals that curd is a great probiotic, while raisins are rich in soluble fiber and can act as a prebiotic. When paired together, they can promote the growth of good bacteria in the gut. “Curd is also a well-documented intervention for regulating cholesterol levels, lowering blood pressure, and promoting weight loss. It works much better in the elderly and younger as it prevents constipation and makes chewing raisins Easy,” Rujuta captioned.
She further said that curd with raisins can reduce intestinal inflammation and bloating. This can aid in your weight loss journey. In fact, it's also an excellent home remedy for maintaining healthy gums and teeth, as well as strong bones and joints.
