PROTEINS THE STAR NUTRIENT OF OUR FOOD- PART 2

Dear Readers
Happy reading !!!
So coming back to our most priced Nutrient, yes Protein.Protein  is one nutrient which is consistently needed and cannot be curtailed until and unless some kidney problems occur and in that case also high biological value proteins are still allowed. yes we will discuss this also. Proteins are made up of amino acids. there are eight essential amino acid for body which are indispensable. Others can be synthesized with the various combinations of these eight amino acids.Toh in simple language the food items which give us these eight essential amino acids they are First class proteins.The proteins which contain these essential amino acids and also make easily available for body are termed as PROTEINS OF HIGH BIOLOGICAL VALUE.
But this star nutrient just can't undermine the importance of other nutrients. Yes taking too much of proteins thinking that it can only help us to grow is also not right.Protein overload results in urea overload  and thus impairs function of kidney and disturbs body's balance.
 So good protein sources for vegetarian  people are Soya bean, Milk, Curd, paneer, cottage cheese, pulses, legumes and various cereal pulse combinations such as sattu parantha, daal parantha, khichadi, idli, dhokla, farre, daal dhokli,daal chawal etc.
Good protein sources for non vegetarian people are Egg, chicken, fish and of course above mentioned  sources.
ENJOY YOUR PROTEIN AND KEEP GROWING BUT DO NOT  TAKE OVERDOSE OF IT.

TALK TO YOUR FOOD!!!

Dear Readers, Greetings!! and Sincere prayers that this world remains safe and healthy!!!  So in  my previous blog, I told that how Food is my body's Fuel and basically which food should we look for in order to gain energy.You know as Dietitian  I use to always talk to these food items and this inspiration of "Food talking" long back I got from my Botany teacher who told us that call all flowers and plant with their botanical names and treat them as friends you will never forget their names.This habit of mine now I find useful. I literally look at food items and through my food talk I just ask them what all you will give to my body. It's not that Fat does not give energy or pulses,milk, egg or other sources of proteins do not give energy,but then I hear them telling me please use me for building you body. Fat saying apart from energy I will also give you extra cholesterol. Then I immediately realize that for Energy I will first call carbohydrates, if they are exhauste

But definitely if I look through this whole pandemic from my Nutrition lenses, I  see some beautiful stories, experiences and smiles. In near past we all were so habitual of eating processed foods, ready to eat diet, preserved items and excited for dining out.our ages old cooking practices,delicacies were taking sidelines.Thanks to this Pandemic which compelled to some and encouraged to some to explore their culinary skills, their traditional recipes. Families eating together, cooking together, and relishing food together has really brought t
