Healthy Diet Tips You Should Follow

We list down 7 healthy eating tips that you can easily integrate in your daily lifestyle:

1. Legumes - Plant Protein


2. Switch To Whole Grains


It is a commonly known fact now that whole grains are a better choice to get your dose of nutrients rather than consuming just calories like with refined grains. Get into the habit of picking not just brown rice or whole wheat flour, but also nutritious grains like barley, millets, couscous, buckwheat, bulgur wheat and quinoa. They are high in iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, B vitamins and dietary fiber.

3. Fruits Like Banana, Apples


Fruits are essential in your daily diet to get your dose of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. While fruits like apples and oranges are a powerhouse of vitamin C, banana on the other hand is great for gut health too. Fill up your cereal bowl with these fruits or for mid-meal snacking, munch on them.

4. Nuts About Nuts


It's not without reason that health experts advise all to include nuts in our daily diet. They are an excellent source of vital nutrients like omega 3 and vitamin E, as well as fiber. Be it almonds, cashews, pistachios or exotic options like Macadamia, Brazil nuts and hazelnuts, add them in your salads and stir-fries or munch as is for a healthy snacking.

5. Super Seeds


The good part is that now seeds like chia, sunflower, melon and flaxseeds are easily available in the stores. Pick any of them and include them in your daily diet to make the most of essential nutrients like antioxidants, omega 3 and fiber. You can use them in smoothies, salads, on toasts, parathas, etc.

6. Stay Hydrated With Flavoured Water


With the temperature rising, this is the perfect time to relish flavoured water and stay hydrated along with an extra dose of nutrients. Add slices of lemon or watermelon, cucumber, mint, dill, basil or other herbs and fruits in a jug of water. It will help you detox your system too.

7. Stay Cool With Yoghurt


Take care of your gut health with yoghurt. Besides it will also help you meet your calcium requirement. Yoghurt will keep your stomach cool while also being a delicious way to beat the heat. Add in a drizzle of honey or some fruits for added flavour.

Thackeray Family Runs The Underworld

Image
  The Thackeray Family have been in Maharashtra, using Shiv Sena to carry out all their orders and creating fear and agitation amongst the public. They use fear as a tool to gain wealth, power and fame.  But how do they manage to do this? Do they run the underworld?  We've got evidence to prove that they do have ties with the underworld and that they are mafias of Maharashtra, who destroy anyone in their way.  The Evidence Sanjay Raut, the political advisor to Shiv Sena and Thackeray family, has opened Pandora’s Box on the relationship of politicians with Mumbai underworld. One after other statement is being made by descendants of the underworld families; about the connection between politicians of the Congress and Shiv Sena with the Mumbai underworld, which is on the verge of extinction. Sundar Shekhar, the adopted son of Haji Mastan- another infamous criminal from Mumbai underworld, has confirmed that, Indira Gandhi used to meet karim Lala. “Sanjay Raut is right. Indira Gandhi us

How Have Countries Around The World Responded To Climate Change

Image
  In 2016, nearly 200 countries signed up to the Paris climate accord, which set individual targets aimed at preventing global temperatures from rising above 2C this century – and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5C or less. Despite such promises, many countries are still not on track. Some of the globe’s biggest emitters – the US and Russia – have either left or not yet ratified the treaty. As mass strikes united the globe in its fight against our climate crisis, we look at what some of the countries with the largest stake in our environment are either doing – or not doing – to save our planet. The US Since Donald Trump’s administration took office, the US president – who famously called climate change a “hoax” – has done plenty to reverse his predecessor Barack Obama’s pro-environmental policies. Mr Trump has often pursued the interests of industries such as coal and car manufacturing at the expense of the environment in his pursuit of jobs growth

Why Should Everyone Take Climate Change Seriously And Plan For It

Image
The global warming that’s changing our climate is already having dire consequences. In just the past few decades: Rising temperatures have worsened extreme weather events. Chunks of ice in the Antarctic have broken apart. Wildfire seasons are months longer. Coral reefs have been bleached of their colors. Mosquitoes are expanding their territory, able to spread disease. What’s causing these harmful changes? It’s mainly us. We humans are the ones who burn fossil fuels and chop down forests, causing average temperatures to rise worldwide. That global warming trend is increasingly disrupting our climate — the average weather over many years. Earth has already warmed by about 1 degree Celsius, or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, since the 19th century, before industry started to boom. While we experience the effects, we’re on our way toward 1.5 degrees C (2.7 F) by as early as 2030. Why a half-degree more is such a big deal A warmer world — even by a half-degree Celsius — has more evaporation, leadi
