Dull diets. Weight loss plans. Kgs served by the platter. Endless hours at the gym. So let’s start our journey together! Eat good. Feel good. Always

It all started with these thoughts running through my head as I began my journey into nutrition. Having tried multiple nutritionists and strung around weight loss plans (as everyone does) can shed off the inches but take the ultimate toll on your health. I craved a better solution - that would make the later days of my life worth living. which would make me feel happier, fuller and waiting for the next plan excitedly. Tired of the days spent at a dead end corporate job, I flocked into the field of endless feel-good sustenance pursuing a Masters in Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics from SNDT University, Mumbai. Having spent a year consulting people all sorts of patients at BYL Nair Hospital with rare and major diseases, I got the knowledge that would aided healthy recovery and better living. Vowing to make the world more healthier and make holistic nutrition more accessible, my career trajectory didn’t end there. My endeavour is to make you and more people feel the best you can be with the food you love to eat so that you can live the life you always wanted.

Are you staying fit during your pregnancy? While exercising has numerous benefits when you're not pregnant, it has even more when you are! Women who exercise throughout gestation show significantly decreased risk of preeclampsia, hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), weight gain, rate of spontaneous abortion, congenital abnormalities, and offspring have normal growth and development.

Today, let's find out about the top five nutrients women should eat for a healthy pregnancy:

Omega-3 DHA
Eat it however you like – just make sure you get enough of it. Your super smart baby will thank you someday. Research by the FDA has shown that when mom eats the recommended two to three servings of fish in a week, her baby gains 2.6 IQ points.However if you are a vegetarian flax seeds and walnuts are a great resource of these essential fats.During the last trimester, a baby’s brain and nervous system go into an intense period of growth and development, requiring 65 milligrams daily of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), a type of omega-3 found in fatty fish. Once baby is born, the need for DHA continues, and moms can either deliver it via breast milk or formula that contains the fatty acid.
Folic acid
If you’re trying to get pregnant, make sure to start taking a folic acid supplement with at least 400 micrograms of the vitamin, because the neural tube is formed during the first month of pregnancy. You can get folate from foods including avocado, oranges, asparagus, beans, spinach - pretty much all green leafy vegetables, papaya and wheat germ.

Choline
Pregnant moms need between 300 mg - 500 mg of choline per day, and the requirement only increases during laceration period. The best sources are eggs with the yolk, liver and wheat germ. Other common foods that contain the nutrient are Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, milk, yogurt, spinach, almonds and milk chocolate.
Iron
Iron is essential during pregnancy because it’s required to make red blood cells, which bring oxygen to all the muscles and tissues in your body; these cells are also tasked with ferrying oxygen to your baby via the placenta.Iron can be hard to absorb, especially from plant sources. You can boost absorption by eating iron-rich food with vitamin C-rich foods, such as citrus fruits, Brussels sprouts and bell pepper.

Calcium
Most women don’t get enough calcium. The requirement changes when you get pregnant and lactation - it elevates to 1,200 mg/day.Dairy is an awesome source at 200 to 400 mg of calcium per serving, but you can also find calcium in plant-based foods

Hippocrates (420 BC) used vinegar medicinally to heal wounds, Hannibal of Carthage (200 BC), used vinegar to dissolve boulders that blocked his army's path and Cleopatra (50 BC) dissolved precious pearls in vinegar and offered her love potion to Anthony. Apple cider vinegar (also known as ACV) has arguably even more trusted applications. Its wide-ranging benefits include everything from curing hiccups to alleviating cold symptoms, and some people have turned to apple cider vinegar to help with health concerns including diabetes, cancer, heart problems, high cholesterol, and weight issues

Traditional, homemade sauerkraut relies only on cabbage and salt, and those ingredients come together through time and the work of beneficial bacteria to create a pleasant, sour, fermented vegetable that can be used as a pickle or condiment or sidedish or even as a healthier chutney!

Homemade sauerkraut pairs beautifully with everyday vegetable and roti. You can add chili in it as well for a taste kick!

Prep time: 20 mins

Ingredients

For the Sauerkraut

2 medium cabbage heads, about 2200gms

2 tablespoons sea salt
To seal a glass mason jar equipped with an airlock, fill the jar to its neck or a Tupperware, place weights over the cabbage to ensure that the vegetable rests below its brine. Cover the jar with its lid, and insert the airlock. Fill the airlock with water to its fill line and snap its lid in place.

Instructions

1) Remove any bruised or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage, and then remove the cabbage's core. Slice the cabbage in long, thin shreds about ⅛-inch thick.

2) Toss cabbage and salt together in a large mixing bowl and let it rest about five minutes, or until the cabbage begins to soften and release a little liquid, then squeeze the cabbage with your hands to further break up those thin shreds of vegetable and release more juice.

3) When the cabbage has become limp and has released ample juice, transfer it to the mason jar. Pack the salted cabbage into the crock or fermenter as tightly as you can, eliminating air bubbles.
4) Continue packing the cabbage into the container until the cabbage is completely submerged by its liquid. Seal the crock and allow it to sit at room temperature, undisturbed, for at least 1 month and up to 6 months. Pack the sauerkraut into mason jars, and transfer to the refrigerator or other cold storage where it should keep for at least 6 months and up to 1 year.

What are the different types of fermented foods? Fermented dairy -- Lactic acid bacteria are the main bacteria in the production of fermented dairy products, such as yoghurt, cheese and kefir milk. They make lactic acid from lactose, the main sugar in milk. This increases acidity and makes life difficult for other microorganisms. Fermented vegetables -- The fermentation by LAB is recognized as a simple and valuable method to maintain and enhance the safety, nutritional quality, and the shelf life of vegetables, particularly when access to fresh vegetables is limited. The most commercially significant fermented vegetables are: Cabbage, in the form of sauerkraut and kimchi Cucumbers, in the form of pickles and Olives.

The word probiotic literally means "for life," which is a fitting description given the significant impact these microorganisms have on our overall health. So in addition to exercise and eating a nutritious diet, consuming a good source of probiotics should also be included as part of a healthy lifestyle. There are trillions of bacteria that make their home in our digestive tract, and it will be fascinating to learn more about this mutualistic relationship as new research continues to emerge. What fermented foods do you enjoy? Share your recipes and ideas in the comments!

The fermentation process enhances the nutritional quality of food by amplifying the beneficial compounds such as vitamins, and by increasing the bioavailability of variety of minerals. Probiotics, including those found in kimchi, have a range of positive effects on health, including the improvement of various intestinal inflammatory conditions, positive impacts on the immune system,even weight loss and can alter the composition of the gut microbiome as well. Try to incorporate fermented foods once or twice a day and live a good life feeling good!

It’s estimated that roughly 70% – 80% of your immune system is in your gut. Feed it poorly and your gut will be left with few defenses triggering infections. In your weakened state, you may also be more susceptible to colds and flu. But, if you introduce good bacteria into the gastric mix via fermented foods, you’ll enable your gut to crush invaders and disease-triggering inflammation, long before they can gain the upper hand. Simply put: A healthy, balanced gut can send illness packing.
