In Punjab and all over the world, the secret of most people is curd shake. People who are used to drink it, they never face stomach problem. Recently a survey was done in Iran where two groups were formed as 90 and 140 people. The age category of 35-65 was given 500 mg of vitamin D, 250 ml curd shake and 250 mg calcium for 90 days. Their test showed that type 2 diabetes was highly improved. Similarly, curd shake and yoghurt is taken after every meal in Turkey. They call is bogurt and eye-raan. That is why they have good health. A dish called ‘yoghurt kebab’ is a very famous dish in Turkey.
The trend of yoghurt has increased in Europe and America as well. Yoghurt parlours are getting famous as ice cream parlour in America. One of our friends was suffering from stomach problem. None of the doctors were able to treat his problem. Someone suggested him to go to London for his treatment but he was not successful from it and his problem remained as it is. Someone then told him to go to Germany for treatment.
Therefore he went to Germany. When he reached there, he found that the doctor has already got retired from his job and rarely takes any case. He requested the doctor to take his case. Finally the doctor agreed. He explained his stomach problem to the doctor and told him that he came all over from Pakistan to get his treatment. First the doctor quietly heard all the detail. Suddenly the doctor got very angry and asked him to leave. Our friend was very upset with his behaviour. He insisted the doctor to explain the reason of his anger. The doctor said that he had been to Pakistan and India to learn about the cure of stomach problem. That means there are better doctors in Pakistan. He might not have consulted better doctors in Pakistan.
The patient requested the doctor to treat his problem as he has already come to him for this. The doctor agreed and asked him to come in the morning at 10. When the patient arrived to his house next morning, the doctor gave him a white liquid to drink. This was curd shake(lassi). He added salt and black pepper to it and said that this is your treatment.
Our friend returned to Pakistan and drank lassi for 2-3 months continuously. He then no more suffered from stomach problems. Therefore, lassi is very much beneficial for stomach problems but it should be added with black pepper and salt as these are important ingredient of lassi. Sweet and cold lassi is not so beneficial as the one with black pepper and salt. Ice is harmful for teeth and stomach. Children should not drink tea as this effect their growth. Nowadays, even in west people recommend and prefer to drink milk and yoghurt than tea or coffee. During the preparation of food, adding yoghurt anda pinch of onion seed is very beneficial.
If bananas and tomatoes are dipped in water before they are peeled off, they will never get dark after peeling.
