Hello everyone, we are back with another blog, and this time we are talking about health. In this busy modern generation, it’s hard for us to analyze everything we eat daily. In this blog we will discuss HEALTHY FOODS TO EAT EVERYDAY IN INDIA

Each of us wants to stay healthy. No one wants to suffer from obesity, lack of nutrition, or any other disease. Many of us even attempt it by exercising daily, meditating, and, most importantly – eating what our body wants to stay fit.

However, it’s not that easy to find out what we should eat to live a healthy lifestyle because many things suggested by blogs or a youtube video that you saw are just not available daily at your home. This is why this blog is for you and for all your friends and family members who don’t have the time to figure out and make a list of healthy and readily available things in India.

A healthy diet focuses on providing all the nutrients that your body needs. It comprises macronutrients like protein, carbohydrates, and fat along with micronutrients which include vitamins and minerals. Therefore, this blog is divided into five sub-topics, and we will be suggesting to you the list of food items that can provide you with that particular nutrient in that section.

Carbs

Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for our bodies. They help us fuel our brain, kidneys, heart muscles, and central nervous system.

People avoid carbs altogether when they are on a weight loss journey, but that is not the way to go. You have to avoid “refined carbs” such as white bread, white pasta, refined grains, etc.

Here’s a list of healthy foods that you can have and come under what’s called “good carbs” –

  • Whole Grains

Oats, whole wheat, barley, millet, brown rice come under this category.

These are less processed and have much more nutrients than refined carbs.

  • Beans and Legumes

This includes chickpeas, lentils, kidney beans, etc. These are low in fat content and are full of fibre vitamins and proteins.

  • 3. Vegetables

Vegetables like spinach, brinjals, cucumbers, carrots, mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes are low on carbs, and you can replace these with the vegetables you currently have.
