A good intake of water is an absolute must to maintain a healthy body.

It is extremely important that we keep ourselves hydrated at all times as water helps in regulating the body temperature, transporting of nutrients and in expelling waste from our bodies.

There are times when we get too busy to drink water and experience headaches, dry mouth and poor hydration. These are clear indicators that your body is dehydrated.

Tips to stay Hydrated
- Carry a bottle of water with you during the day
- Drink water before, during and after a workout

- If you feel hungry try drinking a glass of water, sometimes our bodies confuse thirst for hunger.

- Maintain schedule to help you keep track and remember to drink water.

We humans are very complex being and we require care centered around our behaviour and environment instead of just the number on our scale.

There are so many factors that influence our weight than counting calories all the time and any one who tells you that it is just about " eating less than you burn"
does not have a good understanding of human metabolism.

So understand your own body and feed it according to your needs , your body type , health problems, activity level etc.

𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘀 - 𝗔 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻!!

Green peas have an impressive nutrition profile. They are one of the best sources of plant based protein and they also come along with lots of fiber, which is a major reason why they are so filling.

Eating protein increases the level of 'Leptin' hormone in your body that gives you satiety.Protein + fiber together leads to slow digestion and promotes feeling of fullness.

Green peas also contain Vitamin A,C,K, manganese, thamin, calcium iron and folate.
Thus, including green peas in your diet can help you in
- Healthy blood sugar levels
- Better digestion
- Prevent high Bp
and many more

P.S- Green peas are still an incomplete source of protein i.e it doesn't include all essential amino acids. So to ensure you get all essential amino acids combine them with other sources of protein like tofu, black beans , edamame, quinoa etc.

Dinner routine can get boring and eating healthy can be challenging, but when I am in the mood for some fun dinner options, I make my favorite meal – TACO’s. I am not a fan of ready-to – eat- Taco shells from the market, which are majorly made out of maize flour & refined wheat flour (maida) and filled with lots of preservatives.

But instead of using them I have used a homemade Ragi/Nachni tortilla for the same, which gives these Tacos a desi twist.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

𝑹𝒂𝒈𝒊 𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒔

1 cup Ragi flour

1/4 tsp. Cumin

1 Green chili (finely chopped)

Salt

Method:

1.     Add ragi flour, cumin pd, green chili and salt in a kneading bowl. Knead and mix the flour.

2.     Pour water as needed to make small dough. Make around 5-6 dough balls of equal size. Place dough on parchment paper. Dip your fingers in water and gently make thin tortillas.

3.     Transfer the tortillas along with parchment paper to your hand and place it on a hot tawa. Slowly put out the paper.

4.     Cook for 1 min. on medium flame & hen cover it. Continue to cook on medium heat until it changes to darker color.

5.     Make the beans filling- heat a pan and add olive oil. Add cumin seeds, garlic, and onion and ginger almost immediately.

Mango & Walnuts are a powerhouse combination!!

"Mango" king of fruit is everyones favourite. Mangoes are not only sweet and pulpy flavoured but it is also filled with lots of nutritional benefits.

Mangoes contain over 20 different vitamins & minerals: some of them including - Vitamin A, C,B6 and folate. They are loaded with antioxidants. They are rich in fiber and have only 1gm of fat!!!

But beware 90% of mango's calories come from fruit sugar i.e. Fructose.Thus adding on the side of mango may be a good idea.

Walnuts are high in Omega-3 fatty acid, protein and magnesium. The fat in walnuts doesn't let your insulin spike quickly, suppresses your hunger and keeps you energized.

So enjoy your mango but make sure you eat a few walnuts with it :)

Turmeric is one of the most commonly used spices and superfoods in our Indian Kitchen.

𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻 is a yellow pigment found primarily in turmeric. It's a polyphenol with anti-inflammation properties and ability to increase the amount of antioxidants that the body produces.

Curcumin is absorbed poorly during digestion. Hence, curcumin is extracted from turmeric to produce supplements that have a much higher potency and bioavailability than turmeric .

𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻:
〽️Reduces inflammation
〽️Increases immunity
〽️ Increases level of endogenous antioxidants
〽️ Helps in reduction in LDL- Cholesterol
〽️ Helps in reduction of blood glucose levels.
〽️ Moderate improvement in symptoms of depression and anxiety.

To eat a crazy level of tumeric to have a decent bioavailability of curcumin is not possible.

Fast&Up India has come up with a water soluble curcumin supplement which is easy to consume and has a great bioavailability.

In times of -19 if you are tired of drinking kadha's this is a perfect replacement as it has 500gms of active curcumin with black pepper, ginger and zinc which will help in improving and sustaining your immunity.

PS: It comes in delicious mango flavour , so no need to worry about the taste.
