Health Benefits of Bottle gourd

Benefits of bottle gourd have been discovered long long time back by Ayurveda. But bottle gourd started trending and became famous after Ramdev baba started promoting bottle gourd juice benefits in his yoga camps during his initial camping day. A lot of people started consuming bottle gourd juice on a daily basis every morning. They started noticing the benefits on their health and bottle gourd became a part of every Indian house hold. Let us study some of the health benefits of bottle gourd.

 

Provides more nutrients and very few calories and fat : 

If you are on a low calorie diet, Bottle gourd is the best choice to go for. 96 % of this gourd is comprised of water. Bottle gourd is high in dietary fibre and provides only 15 calories per 100 gm and only 0.1 gm fat in 100 gm. It provides vitamin C and some B vitamins, trace elements and minerals  like iron, sodium and potassium

 

Aids in Digestion:

Bottle gourd provides good amount of both soluble and insoluble fibre and water. It helps in digestion and related problems  like constipation, flatulence and acidity. The insoluble fibre also helps in conditions like piles.

 

Cooling effect:

Bottle gourd has cooling and calming ability due to its good water content. It is very helpful during summers and specially those who work under the hot sun as it has the ability to prevent heat strokes and recovers the water lost due to perspiration.It can be consumed in a juice form or cooked as a veggie.

 

Urinary disorders:

Bottle gourd has a diuretic effect on body. Hence it helps in flushing out the excess water stored in the body as swelling and bloating. Prepare a glass of fresh bottle gourd juice and add a  teaspoon of lime juice and consume . This alkaline mixture helps in dilution of acidic urine and in relieving  the burning sensation in the urinary tract because of high acid content in urine.

 

Helps in weight loss:

Bottle gourd provides excellent nutrition with minimum calories and fat, Hence it is best for weight loss. It also helps in lowering the cholesterol in the blood. It is high in fiber and water content . Consume fresh bottle gourd juice , the first thing in morning on an empty stomach,this will help you keep away hunger pangs.

 

Prevents Premature graying hair:

Ancient Ayurveda says drinking fresh bottle gourd juice in the morning on a regular basis can be very useful for prevention and treatment of prematurely graying hair.

 

Beneficial for skin:

Bottle gourd in its natural form can be used in internal cleansing of your skin.It helps in balancing the oil secretion on face and helps keep acne and pimple problems at bay. It helps protect against various types of skin infections.

 

Aids in sleeping better and insomnia:

Sesame oil when mixed with bottle gourd juice helps to cure problems of insomnia.  The leaves of the gourd when consumed in cooked forms cools the brains and helps in curing sleep related problems and aids in sleeping better.

 

Revitalization and replacement of lost fluids: 

Those suffering from diarrhea, high grade fever or other health issues which are related with profound sweating and water losses should consume a glass of bottle gourd juice. It helps in replacing the lost body water and curbs excessive thirst in diabetics. Treats fatigue and revitalizes.

 

Other ailments:

Bottle gourd is also beneficial in conditions like jaundice and inflammation of kidneys.

 

How to Use Bottle gourd to avail health benefits ?

Bottle gourd can be used in various ways in day to day life. Some Ayurveda experts advice on taking it early in the morning in juice form on empty stomach , while some believe that it is beneficial when eaten in any form and at any time of the day . Following are mentioned some ways in which you can consume bottle gourd.

 

Bottle gourd juice

You can consume bottle gourd in juice form. it works well when consumed early in the morning on empty stomach.

Recipe of preparing Bottle gourd juice –
  • Take a bottle gourd , wash it thoroughly and peel the outer cover.
  • Scoop out the seeds parts from the center of the gourd.
  • Cut the remaining pulpy part of Bottle gourd in to pieces.
  • Note – It is important to taste a small piece of bottle gourd and check if it is bitter. In case it is bitter, discard the bottle gourd immediately . Bitter tasting bottle gourds can be toxic for health and may lead to disastrous results. Hence it is crucial to always check the taste of bottle gourd before you juice it.
  • After you are sure about the taste of bottle gourd , put the  cut pieces in a juicer , add 10 tulsi leaves and 10 mint leaves . remove the juice and strain it in a strainer.
  • You can consume it as it is. Or add a little rock salt (if you do not have hypertension ).

 

Bottle gourd Pancake / Chilla / Dosa

Lets face it . Bottle gourd is not really a very tasteful food to consume , and many people detest its tastes. Making this bottle gourd pancake is not only simple and quick , but also a very tasty recipe.

Recipe of preparing Bottle gourd chilla –
  • Take 1 bowl Besan and 1 bowl rawa. Mix them together.
  • Add grated bottle gourd, chopped corriender leaves , grated ginger and chopped green chilly.
  • Add salt to taste. ass a little water to make dosa like batter.
  • Spread the batter on a non- stick pan (just like dosa). and roast it from both the sides.
  • Optional – You can add grated carrots and chopped spinach leaves to enhance the nutrition and taste of these yummy pancakes.

 

Bottle gourd is an excellent food with loads of nutritional value. Avoid crash diets and choose to eat healthy veggies like bottle gourd for weight loss.

    Hi mam, your article is very informative . Thank you so much for this. I drink the lauki juice on a regular basis. But after reading that you should have a fresh juice every time I am little worried , as I cut a good pice and keep the rest in refrigerator and use it next day? That way it takes me around 3 to 4 days to finish one lauki. Is it ok if I do it that way? If not are there other ways to do it? Because I stay alone it’s not possible for me to finish the entire lauki at a time. Kindly throw a light on this aspect.

    Regards,
    Prajakta .

      you can cut the lauki , and then just cling wrap the open end . (just the open end ,not entire lauki ) and then refrigerate it .

    Is consuming bottle gourd juice in the night harmful in any way? Does it cause cold / cough? I understand it is more beneficial in morning, but is it harmful in evening?

      Hi Shilpa ,

      no it is not harmful to have lauki juice in the evening . make sure it is freshly made . but i would still stick by having bottle gourd juice in the morning is more beneficial . the fiber in it will keep you full through the day and save you fro hunger pangs too.

      Hi Pratiksha,

      yes it will benefit in the evening as well , but taking it on empty stomach will help more . if this is not feasible, you can take a glass of warm water and lemon or green tea too .

      if your bottlegourd is organic or you buy from local small scale farmer then you can have it directly . but if the above mentioned facility is not available and you buy it from food marts or wholesalers, it is best to boil it to kill the harmful infectants through fertilizers and chemicals. that may have been used,

      No please dont try such crash diets, the weight loss will be temporary. use the 1200 calorie diet chart on dietburrp. Our readers are losing good weight using the chart . one of our reader lost 13 kgs in 2 months using the same chart

    Hello Payal,

    Thanks for the useful article.
    I have a question. Every morning, I drink 1 glass of bottle gourd juice.
    Is it OK to add small piece of ginger in it?
    In juicer I add bottle gourd and small piece of ginger and drinks that mix juice.

    Thanks,

      Hi Utkarshji,

      you can definitely add ginger for taste … If healthy is tasty, you ll stick on to the habit for longer .. which is the basic idea.

    I am 50 year old male and is health conscious. My weight is 58 kg and height 5ft 3 inches. On hearing from friends that bottle gourd juice is healthy, I started taking it daily. My doubt is whether taking this juice reduces my weight? As I am already normal weight, I do not want any reduction in my weight. (In fact, I reduced my weight for about 0.5 kg. Hence I stopped taking it)

    2. Which vegetable juices are good?

    Grateful if this doubt can be clarified.

      Hello Mr Vidyasagar,

      Thank you for stopping by and reading at DietBurrp. Although bottle gourd juice helps in losing weight, but it is not true that bottle gourd juice alone will cause weight loss. As you must have read in the article above, Bottle gourd juice has alot of benefits, special for a person in your age. weight loss can be due to degeneration of muscles at your age. or may be some thing else too. dont worry and continue taking the juice . it is super healthy. you can also consume carrot, tomato, and other fruit juices too. if your blood sugar is in control.
