Our meals start off with spice and end with some sweet. According to science, spice activates the digestive juices and acids to boost our digestive system efficiently; sweets contain carbohydrates that bring down the digestive process. Therefore, sweets are always eaten/ served at the end of meals.


7) Why Do We Apply Mehendi/ Henna On The Hand And Feet?

Mehendi has medicinal qualities; since our Indian weddings include many stressful events and rituals, brides sometimes feel a headache, stress and fever. Mehndi can avert stress with its cool medicinal values; therefore, brides and grooms apply mehndi on their hands and feet.
