Fracture of bones is a common occurrence among the senior citizens in the present times.
Even a minor fracture can result in unbearable pains and suffering. Sometimes, this even leads to death.
However, during the earlier times, the incidence of bone fracture was not this prevalent. It was rather rare. One of the reasons attributed to this is that that generation had the habit of chewing betel leaves. Betel leaves,
Taken with a pinch of lime (sunnaambu in Tamil), help the strengthening of bones.
Our ancestors have clearly laid down the traditional procedure for taking betel leaves.
The quantity of betel nut should be more in the betel leaf eaten after the morning meals. While taking betel leaves, the quantity of lime taken should be slightly more as the heat would be more intense in this period leading to more bile production.
When taking betel leaves after the lunch, the quantity of lime should be more as it would reduce the gastric effects.
While taking betel leaves after night meals, the quantity of betel leaf should be more as it would reduce phlegm formation.
