Fruits 🍓 🍐🍒🍎 and Vegetables 🍆 🍅 to keep you warm in winters
Seasonal fruits and vegetables like dark green vegetables, mustard greens🌱🍀 and amaranth greens (bathua), carrots🥕, turnips🍑, cabbage, tomatoes🍅oranges🍊, guava, lime, pumpkin and amla🍏, are great sources of iron, folate and vitamins A, B complex and C, which boost immunity and combat viruses and bacteria that cause infection. Fruits like peaches, apricots and papaya can keep you warm.
Hot soups and stews are definitely the season’s favourite. A bowl of healthy and wholesome soup is not only nutritionally sound, but will also make you feel full and prevent you from eating junk food.
Avoid ready soup mixes as they contain high amount of starch and preservatives. Homemade soups and stews are the way to go.
Fruit chat of like oranges, plums, peaches is most welcome. Also, you can make a salad of carrots, oranges, beetroot or just make a vegetable punch!

Warming protein foods
In winters, the body requires foods that raise the blood🌡pH, such as protein like lean meat, fish, poultry, 🍳eggs, nuts.These high protein foods are associated with increased heat 🔥production and higher thermogenesis.
For non-meat eaters, eat plenty of soy products like tofu, soybeans, soy nuts, and tempeh or ‘legume’ which covers a wonderful array of foods – all dried beans (chickpeas, kidney beans, pinto beans etc) and lentils.
Stir fry meals with tofu and vegetables🍆🍄 or munch on some soy nuts as a snack.
Having milk 🍶boiled with ginger and fresh turmeric is also warming.

Carrots 🥕 The Power Crunch
Carrots are one of the most popular, versatile vegetables in the world. They can be eaten raw, cooked or juiced.
There are more than 100 species of carrots 🥕
Some are big, some are small, and they come in a variety of colors including: orange, purple, white, yellow and red.
While carrots🥕 are known for their signature orange color, Carrots get their color from antioxidants called carotenoids. One of these carotenoids is beta carotene, a precursor to active vitamin A that is responsible for many of the carrot benefits that we know about today.
Many studies have shown that beta carotene is crucial for improving immunity in the body, protecting skin and eye health, and fighting free radical damage that can cause various forms of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease.
The nutrition in carrots🥕are bound to the cell wall “matrix” of the vegetables that have to be broken by heat (cooking) or mechanical action (grinding, juicing, proper chewing).
Cooking the carrots 🥕in fat, oils or pureeing, juicing them increases the availability of carotenoids.
Fats help the absorption of carotenoids into the blood as carotenoids are fat soluble.

Sprouting methi seeds
As requested by many here is the procedure to sprout methi seed…..
Sprouting the methi seeds is simple.
🍀Take half a cup of dry methi/fenugreek seeds.
🍁Wash well and soak in water for at least 24 to 36 hours.
🌼Drain water completely and transfer the content to a colander.
🍀Cover with wet cloth or you can tie them in a thin muslin cloth and hang in the kitchen.
🍁I used a wet kitchen towel. Keep it aside undisturbed. Make sure you keep the cover moist at all times.
🌼Within a day or two, you will notice small sprouts shooting out. I left it for two days until the sprouts were 1 cm long.
Remember to wash them and drain water completely daily else they can become slimy and give a foul smell.
Keep the sprouts in a airtight box in the refrigerator,easily stays well for a week.
Half cup of dry methi will yield approximately two cups of sprouted methi.

Eat methi seeds sprouts specially in winters
🏵Fenugreek seeds, specially sprouts are very good for health, not only for diabetics but also for digestive problems including stomach and mouth ulcers.They are good for healthy hair due to the presence of Lecithin.
🍁A rich source of antioxidants, fenugreek counters free radicals damage hence also delays early signs of aging. They are specially good for winters, provide warmth.
🍀Fenugreek seeds are used as spice and also as herb.
🌼Eat fenugreek sprouts as
🔸a snack, fresh-in-hand,
🔸added to sandwiches, salads,
🔸juiced with vegetables,
🔸mixed with potato salad and other root vegetables;
🔸use as a garnish, added to soups, dals, rice and pasta dishes and stir-fries, just before serving.
Fenugreek sprouts are quick and easy to grow, sprouting also reduce its bitterness. Do not cook sprouts as they go mushy.

Does eating too much sweets🍬🍰 cause diabetes.
Research has found that a high-sugar📈 diet certainly increases diabetes risk — adding just one serving of a sweetened beverage 🍸each day to your diet ups risk by 15 percent, a study at the Harvard School 🏥of Public Health found — but sugar alone isn’t necessarily enough to cause the disease on its own. Excess calories that come from both carbohydrates and fats also contribute to the development of diabetes.
Eating too much sugar (or foods with sugar, like candy or regular soda) can cause weight gain, and weight gain can increase a person’s risk for developing the disease.
Also People who exercise🏋 fewer than three times a week are at risk.
The bottom is when assessing our risk for diabetes don’t avoid any food groups but yes limit the source of simple sugars and fats.

Karela (Bitter gourd) and diabetes
Karela or Bitter gourd or bitter melon is a vegetable that is hated by most of us because of its bitter taste, right. ..the bitter taste is generally attributed to the quinine it contains.
Bitter gourd has phenolic compounds that reduce glucose release during carbohydrate digestion. Thus, it has a hypoglycemic effect and is good for diabetes.
It is also known that bitter melon contains a lectin that reduces blood glucose concentrations by acting on peripheral tissues and suppressing appetite - similar to the effects of insulin in the brain.
This lectin is thought to be a major factor behind the hypoglycemic effect that develops after eating bitter melon.
It also contains a chemical called Charantin, which is known to reduce high blood glucose levels.

Dhanteras festival is closely associated with wealth 💰
While people flock to buy precious metals on Dhanvantari Trayodashi, the first day of Diwali festivities, popularly known as Dhanteras, not many remember that Dhanvantari is the originator of Ayurveda and blesses people with good health rather than wealth....this day is also celebrated as AYURVEDA DAY
Also during churning of milk ocean (Kshirsagar Manthan), Lord Dhanvantri emerged out, carrying a jar of Amrita along with Goddess Lakshmi. That’s why, worshipping Dhanvantri and Lakshmi on Diwali guarantees health, longevity and prosperity.
The idea that health is the true wealth 💰 is forgotten. Health features low in the priority list". People are searching for shortcuts and are in a rush to have everything and this harms their health in such a way that they can enjoy nothing.”
Also Certain communities eat legumes on Dhanteras to ensure easy digestion for the feast that follows. But it’s better not to overeat.
So this Diwali pledge for good health too.
#Dhanteras #Diwali #eatright #eathealthy #wealth #shilpsnutrilife
Dhanteras💰is celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm throughout India, two days before Diwali🎉
A lot of delectable food is prepared which is considered to bring in good luck.
On Dhanteras, special offering called Naivedya is prepared for Goddess Lakshmi and an elaborate meal is cooked at home as part of the beginning of Diwali festivities.
Some dishes/foods are typical of Dhanteras that are prepared to bring in good fortune.
Here is what we make - Whole boiled moong and rice, eaten mixed with ghee and sugar.
Some other delicacies which I found through google
Eastern and parts of North India, whole wheat or atte ka halwa
Long-grain cracked wheat sauteed with ghee and sugar known as "lapsi" is very popular in several parts of the country, and may be accompanied by a curry of yard-long beans, that symbolize longevity.
In Maharashtra, dry coriander seeds are mixed with jaggery and offered as prasad to Goddess Lakshmi.
Panchamrit, Boondi Laddoo, Kheer or rice pudding made with jaggery, milk and rice is considered auspicious and is a must have during the Dhanteras Puja.
What do you prepare as Naivedya today🎆🎊🎉🎇

November 2nd is Vitamin D ☀️Day!
Vitamin D Day is a day to recognize vitamin D☀️ deficiency as a world problem.
Researchers agree that at least one third of the world is deficient in vitamin D 🌞and some scientists even think a greater percent of people are deficient in vitamin D 🌞
Why are so many people deficient, you might ask? It’s simple really. We get vitamin D from sun ☀️exposure. And now, more than ever, the world’s population lives an indoor lifestyle, avoiding the sun daily. Doctors are beginning to discover that vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for many diseases, including heart disease and cancer.
“Vitamin D 🌞deficiency is a global pandemic that has serious health consequences for children and adults. Improvement in the world’s vitamin D status could significantly reduce risk of many chronic illnesses including cardiovascular diseases, type II diabetes and many deadly cancers as well as infectious diseases including upper respiratory tract infections, influenza and tuberculosis.”
If you expect sunshine 🌞 to provide you with vitamin D, then you’d better make sure that the sun is high enough in the sky, because when the sun is low on the horizon it cannot help skin make vitamin D.
Learn, educate and participate; let’s get the word out!
So go grab the sunshine vitamin and up your vitamin D levels.

Dal ka paani or dal water as weaning food
Dal ka paani or dal water as weaning food does not give much nutrition except some heat stable water soluble vitamins, it has no carbs, proteins or fats needed for the infants development. Instead one can give mashed dal or combine dal with rice or roti.
Start with 2 teaspoons per meal (start with one meal only) along with 800 ml of breast milk. If your child is comfortable with it and seems to enjoy the new taste then it can be increased gradually from 1 to 3 mealsne.
When your little one is 4-5 months old it is best to give clear liquids and once when baby is 6 months old you can start with thin pureed foods. So your 6 months baby will have clear liquids plus pureed foods.

Are oats good for kids?
I have seen some mothers start weaning with oats or even continue later on …specially morning time as kids don't drink milk so a way to give milk too.....please oats are not for kids, yes oats are good in fibre.
🍎They can deplete the body of vital minerals
🍎They may bloat their small tummies and kids may feel full after eating small quantities and may not feel hungry for quite some time.
🍎This is a stage when their nutritional needs are higher we need to feed them nutrient dense foods not just fibre and fill them up.
Similarly a home cooked usual breakfast like paratha, poha, upma, idli, uttapas are better with probiotics and other nutrients like proteins, vitamins which are systems are used to eating....
A balanced home cooked meal consisting of cereals ,pulses or dals , milk and its products along with fruit and vegetables is good enough to meet the requirement.

Buckwheat also known as Kuttu a superfood eaten during fasting
Buckwheat is one of the healthiest, nuttiest, most versatile whole grains. And despite its name, it's really not related to wheat at all. Buckwheat is actually the seed of a flowering fruit that is related to rhubarb and sorrel. ... So it's a popular substitute for wheat for those who are gluten-intolerant.

Diabetes management during fasts
Fasting should not make us weak, irritable or create an urge to indulge later. This happens when there is no noble goal behind fasting. The Bhagavad Gita urges us to eat appropriately – neither too less nor too much - yukta-aahaara, and to eat simple, pure and healthy food (a saatvik diet) even when not fasting.
Fasting with diabetes poses significant risks, following points should be considered while diabetics undertake fasting…
🍉Monitor your blood glucose regularly during the fast.
🍓Choose water or aim to drink sugar free and caffeine free drinks frequently throughout the day.
🍒If you experience hypoglycemic symptoms, it is advisable to break the fast.
🍅Do light exercise and take rest when possible to help avoid lowering of blood glucose levels.
🍑Keep the portion sizes moderate. Overeating is a greatest risk.
🍎Continue taking your diabetes medicine, regarding dosage and timings talk to your doctor.
🍊If you eat one meal should contain a balance of whole grain like jowar, Bajra, jav, nachani as well as some protein from pulses, panir, curd,milk and small amounts of heart healthy fats, limit added sugars.
🍏If you need to eat fasting foods eat Rajigira, Samak, kuttu (Buck Wheat) instead of sabudana, fried foods and sweets.
🍎Eat every 2-3 hrs, include fresh fruits and vegetables.
🍋Keep sensible portions in mind and follow the same guidelines for healthy eating that you do the rest of the year.

Nursing mother and weight loss - World Breastfeeding Week 1 - 7 August
A common concern for most of the new mother after delivery is to lose the weight gained during pregnancy….
A good rule of thumb is to take in 200-500 calories in excess of what you needed to maintain your weight before you were pregnant while you are nursing.
Breastfeeding doesn't make you gain weight - in fact, you use up calories when you nurse, and helps you get rid of extra weight more quickly while you are nursing. You might not realize that you already began your weight-loss efforts the moment you put your baby to your breast.
Breastfeeding burns around 300 calories per day, so it can help you begin to lose some of your excess baby weight. What's more, breastfeeding can help stimulate contractions in your uterus that help your belly shrink back to its regular size after pregnancy to help you regain your old shape, too.
Your body stores up fat during your pregnancy to provide the extra calories needed for milk production. It is easier to lose lower body fat (hips, buns, and thighs) when you are breastfeeding compared to the mom who is formula feeding. .
Begin your weight loss program slowly when you are breastfeeding. Increase your activity level.

Do you feed your kids infront TV or watching or playing games on mobiles, tab, Ipads etc
Why is it that this habits are not good have you given this a thought?
The child is not eating mindfully, is unaware of the texture, the taste and the portion size so it is possible for the mother to overfeed the child which can in long run result in obesity.
The better option would be either tell some story regards the healthy food rather than making them watch TV or use gadgets.

Baked aloo tikki, corn tikki, crepes (besan chillas), steamed momos, soups, a mixed-sprouts chaat, grilled snacks, mix veg pattice or aloo chaat. It's easier to make, delicious, and definitely more nutritious than the fried pakoras.
Grilled sandwich perfectly substitutes a bread pakoda by offering a nice mix of boiled vegetables, a bit of cheese or panir for taste, and crunchy slices of bread, Similarly bread with hot besan or egg omelette is also a high protein healthy snack option in a rainy weather.
Rains are beautiful, so enjoy yourself, but don't make exceptions to your diet you might regret later.

Go nuts over this Peanuts
Peanuts are not actually nuts, as the name would imply. Peanuts are a member of the legume family, and are closely related to peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas.
Also known as Groundnut, moongphali, moongfali, sing, singdana
Loaded with protein, fiber, healthy fats (monounsaturated fats), vitamins (vitamin E, folate niacin), minerals( manganese) and phytonutrients, peanuts are nutritious.
Peanuts are associated with reduced risks for chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes and hypertension due to the presence of RESVERATROL, a phenolic ant-oxidant usually found in grapes.
Peanuts may also help you control your weight if you consume them in moderation.
Peanuts do not contain cholesterol.
Peanuts have a very low glycaemic index.
It is recommended that peanuts should undergo some processing like boiling, roasting prior to consumption. The largest danger of the consumption of raw peanuts is the possible presence of aflatoxin, a poison produced by a fungus that may be present on raw peanuts.They are not poisonous, and it is unlikely you'll get a huge amount of toxins from eating a handful.However at times it can lead to problems such as diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea
This Monsoon enjoy a handful of boiled or roasted Peanuts.

One of most common myth and fear people have is – corn is fattening and sugary.
Truth: An cob of corn has about the same number of calories as an apple and less than one-fourth the sugar. In other words, it can be one of the healthier foods!
Just remember: while sweet corn is healthy, some of the fried preparation made out of it or toppings people like to put on it aren’t, but still at times an cob of corn slathered in butter and doused in salt is still a healthy option.
For benefits do check out yesterday's post.

Health benefits of Corn
Monsoons are incomplete without a dose of lemon rubbed butta.
With bhuttawalas putting up makeshift stalls at almost every corner in the neighbourhood during the rains, isn’t it difficult to pass by them and not be captivated by the delectable aroma of roasted corn. The way a vendor dips half a lemon in chilli-salt powder and then assaults the corn cob with it sets you salivating in anticipation.Apart from the charcoal roasted variety, there are many who like their bhuttas boiled.This delicious snack has great health benefits.
1. Corn is rich in fiber which aids in digestion.One cup of cooked yellow corn provides 3.6 g of dietary fiber that helps to control your hunger and keeps your digestive system functioning smoothly
2. It is a good source of vit c, niacin n folic acid, which helps prevent heart disease.
3. It contains thiamin that helps maintain memory
and other valuable B-complex group of vitamins such as pantothenic acid, riboflavin, and pyridoxine.
4. It lowers cholesterol and prevents the risk of colon cancer.
5. It is loaded with lutein,zeaxanthin and ß-carotenes (esp the yellow ones), these phytochemicals promote healthy vision.
Enjoy rains with healthy Monsoon snacks
Monsoon means – Rain, Chai and Pakodas ! Isn’t it especially after getting wet.
Who doesn’t love monsoons? The smell of wet earth, watching the raindrops, getting wet and finally unwinding with a steaming cup of chai or kaapi along with a nice hot snack. While it won’t hurt to occasionally give into your temptations of those crisp onion or chilies bajjis , samosas but yes moderation is a must.
While you are tempted to eat some hot snacks during the rains, why not try some naturally healthy snacks, so for all those who are looking for healthy snack options that you can munch on those rainy days, here are a few:
Corn on the cob: Or bhutta/ makkai. Its fun standing in the rain and watching the corn being grilled over red hot coals! Have it with just salt, red chilli and lime juice.
Peanuts - boiled /roasted . boiled salted peanuts are perfect protein rich snacks for a rainy afternoon.
So give this regular pakoras, smaosas, kachori a twist and try healthy snacks like makai, peanuts.

Organic or no (leafy veges)
How to know if the greens we buy are pesticide free or organic
If you see a few holes in the leaves of the greens you are buying, pick up the bunch; it means it is not heavily ‘pesticided’ .
And one very important tip to follow with greens is wash them well and after washing give a final rinse of salt water for five to seven minutes. This helps remove germs and residue.
Note :- This is as per what I have read and come across.

Organic or No (fruits and veges)
How to know if the fruits and veges we buy are pesticide free or organic
Many a times my clients ask me how to know if the foods we buy are pesticide free or organic.
Although this may be a difficult task in itself however here are a few things to look
Appearance If it is oddly unusually shaped uneven like no two items are identical eg no two leaves of the same mango tree will ever look 100% alike. Similarly, each apple, mango or even grain will always look different from another. Their colour, shape, structure will never be uniform. There will, for instance, be different shades of color instead of the uniformily coloured.
Fruits, vegetables and grains won't be huge in size. There are, of course, special cases in which people do grow large-sized fruits and vegetables organically as well, but they are not the norm and are difficult to find.

Around 14.4 million Indian kids are overweight, second highest in the world
Parents where are we heading
Lets give a thought to this.......Child Obesity in India on the Rise
Obesity in children has tripled in the past two decades.
Once the habit is developed for junk food, it gets very difficult to get rid of the addiction. To ensure that kids do not make this unhealthy lifestyle a permanent part of their life one should start inculcating good nutritional habits from the beginning. Ensuring enough physical activities is an equally important aspect of every child’s growth.
In case you need professional assistance to get you started on a healthier lifestyle for your family contact us now before it is too late.

Organic or No
How to know if the grains,dals we buy are pesticide free or organic
Although a difficult task but this can be checked out –
Insect or worms in your grains are a good thing in a way Keedas (worms) too know that non-organic food is just not edible.Naturally grown sabut daals (like moong sabut, or urad sabut), atta, maida, brown rice, white rice and other grains will get keedas after two-three months and especially in the rains. All you need to do is clean the grain or sun them out like our grandmothers would and still live on with it for quite a few years.
Also their colour, shape, structure will never be uniform. There will, for instance, be different shades of yellow in your moong dal instead of the uniformly bleached yellow of the regular packaged dal.
Keedas don't contaminate your food, pesticides do.
Note :- This is as per what I have read and come across.

SALE SALE SALE!!!!
Shop till you drop but don't Hog
Make sure you eat a good healthy meal before you hit the MALL for shopping. Will save you some expensive calorie investment that you might repent later.
Eat before you go, tuck an apple, dried fruit or high fiber snack bar or roasted channa into your purse or backpack before you leave. You know that shopping always takes longer than you think, so be prepared! Take a water bottle too. If you can forego the food court, even for a drink, you'll be less tempted to buy food.
If incase you have to eat anything while shopping go in for sweetcorns boiled without butter or plain salted popcorns.
Think ahead to what you'll want to eat when you get home. Prepare some lentils or sprouts which can be had with rice or bread or prepare theplas or get things ready for khicdi in cooker, so you'll have a ready to eat healthy meal when you get home. Or put some fish in the fridge to defrost so it will be ready to grill.
