Feeling heaviness after consuming calcium-rich foods like almonds, saunf, khaskhas, and sesame seeds is quite common, especially if your digestive system is not very strong or if you consume them in larger quantities. These foods are dense and rich in healthy fats and fiber, which can feel 'heavy' or 'garam' (warm) to the body and slow down digestion for some individuals.
To help with this, try soaking almonds overnight and peeling them before eating. You can also consume these seeds in smaller, regulated portions throughout the day rather than all at once. Incorporate other excellent calcium sources that might be lighter on your system, such as ragi (finger millet), paneer, curd (dahi), and plenty of green leafy vegetables like spinach and mustard greens. Also, ensure you get enough sunlight for Vitamin D, which is crucial for calcium absorption. Always discuss any dietary changes or persistent discomfort with your doctor to ensure it aligns with your overall health plan.
