1: Bananas makes you fat
Bananas give you calories as
much as a pear! It is a concentrated source of minerals and vitamins and
contains a carbohydrate called “Resistant Starch” (RS), which helps in weight loss.
2: Comfort food helps you chase away blues
A pizza on delivery? Street
chaat? Or a bowl of Mac and Cheese? While you are down, comfort food just makes
you feel better doesn’t it?
In a recent study on Health
Psychology, a bunch of people were shown a depressing movie to make them feel
negative. Then they were given their comfort food, no food or food not
considered to be comfort food. And they all recovered in equal amount of time.
So, eating comfort food is no more and excuse to chase blues. Moreover, these
foods all contain refined flour which gives glucose spikes with no healthy
nutrient as such.
3: Choose a Multigrain/Wheat bread over White bread
Wheat bread – white bread
with caramel/molasses
Multigrain bread- refined
grains mixed together
Always look for ‘100%
multigrain’ label on the pack.
4: Rock salt is healthier than Table salt
Rock salt and table salt
have the same amount of sodium in a tablespoon. Rock salt has other minerals
and magnesium which exist in trace amounts. And table salt has iodine. This is
very essential in your wholesome diet, as deficiency of iodine can lead to a
condition of Hypothyroidism. You could have the best of both instead of giving
up on table salt.
5: You need to give up on carbs to lose weight
Nutritionists
say that banning carbs from your diet is not necessary. It’s is about having
the right portion. According to experts, carbs should take up ¼ of the portion
of the meal; it is responsible for giving exclusive energy. In absence of
carbs, the energy providing function is done by proteins and fats thereby
creating a situation in which an accountant is used to design a building!
