Sheryl Salis, Registered Dietician and Certified Diabetes Educator shares 5 healthy ingredients to include in our diet to channelise our inner Boss Lady.

Age old Turmeric Therapy

Turmeric commonly known as Haldi, has been in the sheer spotlight for all the right reasons in these recent times. It is one of the most common super-foods in Indian households that is accepted widely for its ayurvedic and medicinal properties. According to Ayurveda, turmeric balances all the 'doshas', cleanses the blood, and purifies the toxins from the body.

The curcumin present in turmeric aids to boost immunity, anti-septic and anti-viral property and anti-inflammatory. A famous rendition of turmeric is our very own haldi ka doodh which has been an age-old remedy in Indian households for years and stands relevant even today! We can swap our mid-day beverages with an enriching cup of turmeric latte and witness the results ourselves.

Boost Immunity with 100 Percent Pure Honey

Honey has been a healthier alternative in all our deserts and immunity kadhas for time immemorial. It has regained its importance in our Indian households, especially during the pandemic for immunity boosting and DIY kadhas. Identifying pure honey has become increasingly important in these tough times where we can get maximum benefits from this golden traditional superfood. We should always go for FSSAI approved honey, for 100 per cent surety look out for the NMR approved mark i.e. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance technology which ensures unadulterated honey including no added sugar. NMR is seen as the gold-standard for testing for adulteration in honey.

Replace Sugar with Pure Honey. Honey contains natural anti-oxidants that helps build immunity and support overall health. A turmeric latte in the morning or just some warm water and lemon with hints of garlic and honey is the best way to start our day and help us stay healthy and glowing throughout.

Soyabean Superpower

Soybean has always been a healthier alternative to our veggie-folks to maximize their protein intake. It also contains women friendly isoflavones which are phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are plant-based foods that can have an estrogen-like effect on the body which help to reduce menopause symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats. This helps us stay calm from mentally, and physically avoiding any discomfort in our daily lives. Studies have shown that including 40 g of soy protein in our diet can help increase bone mineral density thereby preventing osteoporosis.

Soybean can be incorporated easily in our daily meal plan in the form of unflavoured soy milk, soy paneer/cheese
