Make your lunch healthy

We load up on oat bran in the morning so we'll live forever. Then we spend the rest of the day living like there's no tomorrow. ~Lee Iacocca

Whenever I ask someone about their diet, they tend to tell me about the most healthy thing that they do in the day like; having a healthy breakfast or having only salad in dinner.

How many of us actually pay any attention to our lunch?

Make your lunch healthy; use these easy strategies

Carry lunch from home- this helps to control the quality & amount of food you eat. One inadvertently opts for a fresh and healthier choice when one carries his/her lunchbox to work. You can make healthy mixes like dal daliya, if you know you will lack time for a proper sit down at lunch.

Eat healthy snacks- Having fruits, vegetable salad, low fat yogurt and dry fruit mix at your desk instead of cans of colas or cups of coffee will keep up your energy levels and fill you up with essential nutrients and fiber.

Have correct portions of food- Protein rich foods( dals, lentils, beans, peas, tofu, paneer etc), carbohydrate rich foods (basically breads, rice, dosa, idli, chappati etc.) with vegetables (gourds, leafy vegetables etc.) will make a good Indian meal any given day.

Avoid fried & fatty foods- these make you feel drowsy in the afternoon which makes you reach for that large coffee mug. So malai kofta, wadas, pakoras, fried chicken, tikki- chole, bhature etc. are not the choices of food you want to have.

Take time for lunch- Hurried eating leads to improper digestion and may result in bloating & flatulence. Try to fix a proper lunch time and avoid office work during lunch hour.

Gluten free diet

Gluten free diet has been in the news, as is evident by its popularity with the hollywood celebrities and with the emerging labeling trend on the packaged foods (its still new in India). It has become somewhat of a fad-diet too for all types of food allergies. What is Gluten free diet? Gluten is a part of the grain protein (mainly found in Wheat, rye, jowar /barley, buckwheat and sometimes jai /oats). A diet free of all these grains and their products is known as gluten free diet . Who needs to follow this diet? People suffering from Celiac disease , Non- tropical sprue or Gluten sensitive enteropathy need to follow this diet.

Looking for comfort?

Image
A few days back I was talking to my cousin and it turned out that both of us were on a cooking spree. On the top of it we were gorging on desserts. Why would we do that? As newly married women, things like new people, new job, relocation, rearrangement of priorities and new responsibilities were our main concerns. As it has been said “Stressed spelled backwards is desserts.” So there we were, eating and sharing our concerns. Mental stress and depression are by far the major reason when many of us reach out for comfort foods. As Peter De Vries stated “Gluttony is an emotional escape, a sign something is eating us.” Comfort foods are generally foods which trigger our memories e.g. some broth which your mother cooked when you were ill. Or, they can just be your favourite foods. Most of the time, these are loaded with calories. A number of hormones and neurotransmitters are involved in regulating our mood. Serotonin is the one which has been extensively researched upon. It is one

Are you a couch potato?

Image
Most eating preferences are habits, influenced by a person’s lifestyle.   When TV viewing  replaced our entertainment options, it did not only revolutionise our free time activities, but also modified our eating habits to a large extent. Family meals started moving around our favourite soaps. Playtime got reduced by cartoons. Holiday treks  were replaced by movies and popcorn. Research has linked excessive TV viewing  to obesity especially in children. The proverbial "couch potato" image is scientifically true.Research also suggests that we tend to eat more food and remember less about what we ate when we are busy watching TV.   So how does one get out of this habit?  Ideally switch off the TV, computer etc. and concentrate on just food while eating.   "Hey, I'm supposed to have small regular meals, you cant seriously mean that I switch off the TV every single time I eat?? What about the evening snack time?"   True, TV viewing is such an integral part of
