Alcohol and hydration

Staying hydrated is often the last thing on the mind at a party or night out with friends. But staying hydrated is important if you want to avoid a dull skin, puffy face, swollen fingers and tight rings the next day. Experienced any of that?

Not only does alcohol pack empty calories, it also ensures that no other food that you may have eaten will get consumed for energy by the body till the last drop of alcohol stays in your blood stream! So if you've had a couple of drinks

Alcohol and hydration

Staying hydrated is often the last thing on the mind at a party or night out with friends. But staying hydrated is important if you want to avoid a dull skin, puffy face, swollen fingers and tight rings the next day. Experienced any of that?

Not only does alcohol pack empty calories, it also ensures that no other food that you may have eaten will get consumed for energy by the body till the last drop of alcohol stays in your blood stream! So if you've had a couple of drinks along with some pizza, fries and biryani then it's not going to be such a good morning after all! 😁
It's a good idea, therefore, to keep hydration in mind even amidst all that fun! Drinking water helps the body to flush out the alcohol. Be well, eat smart!

Chocolate can be a trigger food - you’ve unwrapped a chocolate bar and it’s gone before you could count 1-2-3! So, if you are looking to satisfy your chocolate cravings without wheeling away from your health goals or spending the entirety of a Sunday in the kitchen making a healthy chocolate tart,  here’s your answer. 

Full of antioxidants - chocolate has many benefits. And chocolate cravings are real - these are sometimes indicative of a deficiency in zinc and magnesium. Dark chocolate, in particular, can slow down ageing and cognitive decline. So, if you’re looking for a heart healthy and mood elevating food, keep your chocolate game strong! Pairing it with good fats like nuts, chia, avocado and flaxseed allows for the glycemic load to be reduced.

Melt some dark chocolate in the microwave or on a double boiler, dip fruit of choice and sprinkle some flaxseed powder on it. Enjoy! 

Are you eating your greens?

A reminder to eat your vegetables daily in whatever form you like - blend them into a smoothie, cook them into a sabzi, grill them in the oven, make a zesty salad or make them into soups! 
Many of us are poor vegetarians because we don't get enough vegetables in our diet. This is all good fibre and an essential part of balanced meals. Eating more vegetables creates a more alkaline environment in the body that strengthens the immune system. This fibre is good for the gu

Many of us are poor vegetarians because we don't get enough vegetables in our diet. This is all good fibre and an essential part of balanced meals. Eating more vegetables creates a more alkaline environment in the body that strengthens the immune system. This fibre is good for the gut and having more veggies has a huge role to play in weight management. Next time you have a meal of aloo puri, remember to balance with some veggies too!
