Bitter superfood
The Island
|April 04, 2025
Acharya Balkrishna, advocate of Ayurveda and natural remedies for health, recently posted on social media a striking observation regarding karela (bitter gourd).
-
Karela said, Bitter gourd is a miraculous remedy for kidney stones. The magnesium and phosphorus in it prevent formation of stones, hence its consumption is highly beneficial."
This is a line that is consistent with the ageold wisdom of Ayurveda, which has known for sure that karela is a superfood that is blessed with amazing health benefits.
Although many are turned off by its bitterness, the sheer number of benefits of eating karela is far greater than its pungent taste.
Let's take a closer look at the benefits of this health powerhouse and how it can revolutionize your wellbeing.
1. A natural detoxifier
Karela is popular for its detoxifying nature. It aids in the removal of toxins from the body, cleaning the liver, and enhancing digestion. Its high antioxidant content battles free radicals that cause chronic conditions. Taking karela juice early in the morning is the best way to benefit from its detoxification process.
2. Helps in regulating blood sugar levels
