Holify your life with colous of fruits and wegetables
Holi – the colourful festival is here. Can you ever imagine the world without colour? A research published recently recommended that colour should be the one factor that you should consider when you pick a fruit or vegetable for yourself. According to this study, Mother Nature helps you identify foods with specific nutrients based on the colour that the nutrients impart to the food itself.
Coloured foods are said to contain phytonutrients, which are the plant compounds that can help you stay in good health. Based on the colour of the foods, you can gain different nutrients that may put you in the driving seat as far as health and well-being is concerned.
On this festival of colours, here’s what coloured foods can do for you for your health.
Each color of different foods adds different nutrients that are beneficial to your body. To get your array of color try these different foods:
Orange & Yellow
These foods are high in antioxidants such as Vitamin A and C which can improve your immunity and your protection against oxidative stress which causes variety of diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer etc. They include oranges, pepper, mango, carrots, lemon, papaya, pineapple, and pumpkin.
Blue & Purple
These foods often contain a phytonutrient called anthocyanins, which can help improve your memory and reduce risk of cardiovascular disease. These include eggplant, grapes, plums, raisins, blueberries, and prunes.
Green
Green foods contain the green pigment known as chlorophyll and are also high in essential nutrients such as folic acid (folate) and carotenoids (precursors of Vitamin A) to help improve vision and reduce risk of disease. These include spinach, brocolli, asparagus, fenugreek leaves (methi), mustard leaves (sarson ka saag) and celery.
Red
These foods contain anthocyanins and lycopene, both the heart friendly compounds. These include tomato, red pepper, apples, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, beets, watermelon, and pomegranate.
White
White is a colour too that can add health. White coloured foods are said to contain nutrients such as alicin which can help promote heart health and reduce risk of disease. These include cauliflower, onion, potato, banana, garlic, and mushrooms.
So, including a rainbow of colours in your diet can make your food colorful and your cells will thank you! Stay blessed & Live Life More!
Healthy nutrition tips to improve your exam performance by boosting your brain and healthy lifestyle with the following diet foods to avoid stressful and tense time in examination days.
Diet Tips Before Exam
More isn’t better … If one orange is good, that doesn’t mean your kid should eat 10. Mega-dosing with foods won’t help. Once your kid’s body has what it needs, the rest gets wasted. It’s like pumping gas into a tank that’s already full.
When it comes to feeding our children during exams..!
Let’s help kids excel in exams and “Health” as well.
Include the following foods to keep them sharp, give up lethargy and gain concentration…!
What To Eat During Exams
#Yogurt. Yogurt contains helpful germs called probiotics. You may already know that these critters live in your gut and can improve the way your body uses food. But they’re also important in helping your body fight sickness. One study found that kids who had a yogurt drink had a 19% lower risk of colds, ear infections, and strep throat.
#Walnuts. Walnuts have healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for you in lots of ways. Experts believe that omega-3s help your body fight illness. One small study found omega-3s cut the number of respiratory infections in kids. Walnuts are easy to sprinkle into a snack mix or on cereal.
#Fruits and Veggies. To help your immune system ,have the ones that are high in vitamin C, like citrus fruits, guavas and berries .
Go for #whole foods. Sure, orange juice has vitamin C, but your kid is better off with an orange instead. It has vitamin C and a lot more. You get a lot more nutrients from the whole food than you would from a juice or supplement.
So, dear moms…Get started…and feed your children healthy and nutritious food….not just MORE food…!
Winters are back…rather partially on the way… Days are shorter, and nights are longer.
When winter hits, cravings for comfort foods increase. And unfortunately, few of us find comfort in sprouts salad or fruits…! Lets understand why…
Winter Food Cravings
Courtesy: Healthy Dining Finder
Cold weather triggers a self-preservation mode that sends the body a message to heat up fast. And that message is often played out as a craving for carbohydrate-rich foods — the sugars and starches that provide the instant “heat” boost your body is longing for. Here comes our role…yes, the dietitian’s role…
“If we’re not exercising, our appetite increases, and ultimately that means we’re eating more and moving less — and that’s a disaster plan for weight gain.”
Control Your Winter Appetite
You can take control. With a little bit of planning, you can keep your life and your appetite in perfect harmony all year long.
Snack healthy.
Eat a high-protein, high-fiber snack between meals whole wheat cracker, cottage cheese or tofu or soy crackers with lot of seasonings like oregano, garlic, ajwain etc Healthy snacking will fuel your body’s heat mechanism, helping keep you warmer. The warmer we remain in cold, the less we crave carbs.
Make your activity schedule
Grab a pen to paper and list all the things you did in summer, then write a corresponding list of winter activities you could do. Not only does exercise burn calories, it also affects brain chemicals linked to appetite, so it can help control how much you eat.
Create Low-Calorie Comforts.
If you know you’re going to crave those wintry comfort foods, find lower-cal ways to do it. Steamy pizza with veggies and a whole wheat crust, a bowl of vegetable soup, cocoa with non-fat milk — be creative in cutting calories while keeping the comfort.
Get a Daily Dose of Sunshine Vitamin
If you think your food cravings may be related to shorter days, try to spend at least some time outdoors in sunlight every day
Keep a Lid on Disastrous Winter Foods
Hey please keep out of direct eye view the sinful Ghackas Rewaris and peanuts too, as they rightly say…Out of sight…out of mind..!
And still if you have any doubts, you can consult online dietitian Pallavi Jassal or book an appointment.
Tenderizer: Make a paste of 1/4 tsp meat tenderizer and 1 to 2 teaspoonssp water. Rub the paste into the sting area as soon as possible after the sting. Repeat in an hour iIf it still stings, repeat in an hour. The tenderizer contains papain, an enzyme derived from the papaya fruit that can break down venoms, making them harmless. ( Don’t try this with a scorpion sting, which requires immediate medical attention ).
Vinegar: A drop of vinegar rubbed into the centre of the bite can bring quick, long lasting relief. And more, you don’t feel like scratching.Simultaneously, it increases the blood flow to the area which helps to quickly carry off the spot of venom the insect has deposited under the surface as well as the chemicals your body has produced in reaction to the venom.
Baking soda : A paste of sodium bicarbonate and water applied on a mosquito bite will work like an antihistamine, relieving the itch without the risk of the drug’s side effects.
Hot pepper Red pepper: It won’t draw out the venom, but will take your mind off the itch by counter irritation and increased blood flow. The result ? Less itch.
Onion: Onions contain enzymes that help break down prostaglandins -– chemicals that your body releases in response to pain. They also contain quercetin, an anti-allergic chemical good for relieving inflammation.
