During winter, many people feel sluggish, tired, and low on energy. Immunity also tends to weaken, making colds, coughs, and seasonal infections more common. Meanwhile, many people increasingly turn to unhealthy street foods like momos and chow mein, which can further harm health. According to Baba Ramdev, such foods should be avoided—especially during winter. Instead, he recommends including wholesome and immunity-boosting foods in your diet.

Experts also agree that winter diets should include foods that strengthen the body, improve digestion, and keep you naturally warm. In this context, Baba Ramdev has shared a traditional Indian winter snack that he says is extremely beneficial and can be made easily at home.

Baba Ramdev’s recommended winter snack
Baba Ramdev often shares health and wellness tips on his social media. In one such post, he introduced a simple desi winter snack that warms the body, improves digestion, and even aids weight management. He explained that junk foods like momos and chow mein have no nutritional value, so replacing them with traditional Indian snacks is a healthier choice.

This special desi snack for winter
According to Baba Ramdev, he avoids fast food completely. Instead, during winter, he eats churma—made by crumbling millet roti (bajra roti) and mixing it with ghee and a little sugar. He prepares it with his hands and consumes it regularly throughout the winter to stay energized and healthy.

Why millet (bajra) roti is beneficial
Dr. D.K. Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director of Felix Hospital, highlights the dual benefits of millet roti. It keeps the body warm during winter while boosting energy levels. It also helps regulate blood sugar and is a gluten-free grain.

Millet is rich in:
• Carbohydrates
• Protein
• Fiber
• B-complex vitamins
• Essential minerals such as iron, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and calcium

Because of its nutrient density, millet supports digestion, immunity, and sustained energy—making it a perfect winter food.
