Commonly known as Safed Petha, this is a winter melon that’s commonly found in Asian countries like India, China and Japan. This vegetable is known to be very nutritious with medicinal properties in it and probably, it is the reason that popular Indian Fashion Designer & Actor Masaba Gupta swears by it! Masaba is known to be a fitness freak and has made this a habit to include the juice of this white ash gourd or white petha in her diet. It’s a part of her daily routine that doesn’t get missed at all. Apparently, this juice helps in achieving an alkaline body! (Images courtesy: Canva)

There is a very simple rule in life, if you do not care for yourself, no one will care for you! The food choices we make determine the kind of body we will have which affects the way a body works. When the body is in an alkaline state, it means that the pH level of the body increases which reduces the risk of chronic diseases and boosts overall health. Overall, having an alkaline body means there are fewer chances of your falling sick.
In one of her Insta posts, popular Nutritionist Loveneet Batra talked about the health benefits of Safed Petha Juice and wrote that this juice is a one-stop solution for many diseases. However, she advised that one can only benefit from this juice when it is consumed in the morning on an empty stomach.
In her post, she wrote at length about its benefits and said that this simple juice is packed with vitamins & minerals and dietary fibre which provide fullness and avert those cravings, which leads to weight loss. Not just that, this juice is very good when it comes to increasing the body’s alkalinity which cools the stomach. Also, as the white petha is high in dietary fibre, it improves gut health as well which means that those who have indigestion issues such as constipation, gas, and acidity must include this drink in their lifestyle. This juice also plays an important role in boosting energy levels and thus, those who experience body weakness on a regular basis must have this juice regularly in their diet.
It is extremely easy to make this juice at home. All you need to do is take the white petha and peel it. Then, remove the seeds and cut them into small pieces in a bowl. Transfer the chopped white petha to a blender jar and blend well until smooth. Now, take a glass and strain the juice out of this blend. This will separate the pulp from the juice. Add a bit of lemon juice and a pinch of rock salt to increase the flavour of this juice. Have it daily without fail empty morning and you will feel the difference yourself.
Do try this white petha juice and let us know if it worked out for!
