Alaya F is no stranger to leading a healthy life, where working out and wellness are not a phase or a catchphrase but a way of living. The actor, who is best known for her cute and quirky reels and being open about her 75 hard challenges online, along with movies like Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Freddy and Jawaani Jaaneman, took to her Instagram to share with her followers a nighttime drink. However, this drink is unlike any other. The actor shares that this drink is supposed to “help you detox, debloat and digest”.
Health benefits of ingredients in Alaya’s drink
While Alaya’s drink recipe is simple and is made from ingredients that are sure to be readily available in almost every Indian household, all of them actually pack a powerful dose of digestive
and overall wellness benefits. Ajwain helps relieve bloating and indigestion, while jeera supports gut health and improves nutrient absorption. Saunf adds a soothing, cooling effect and can reduce acidity, while adrak brings its anti-inflammatory and immunity-boosting properties.
Fresh pudina leaves aid digestion, calm the stomach, and provide a refreshing antioxidant lift. On the other hand, sabja seeds, when pre-soaked, are rich in fibre and help regulate blood sugar levels, keep you feeling full, and support hydration.
