• Nutrition simply means a way of life. With pure
  food, you reap myriad benefits increased
  energy, better mood, an absence of disease,
  better performance, a slimmer body and a balanced
  life. What is pure food, you ask?
• Its nothing but food that is fresh, seasonal,
  organic and as regional as possible.

Keep it pure

• Eat foods that are made from the plant kingdom.
  Ideally, 40 of your food needs to be vegetables
  20 fats derived from nuts seeds, coconuts, ghee,
  etc 20 from fruits and whole grains and the
  rest from pulses, legumes, dairy, egg and fish.
• Adding healing herbs, spices and condiments to
  your food is a healthy idea. The cardinal rule of
  nutrition is to eat when you are hungry and not
  because you are tired, angry, stressed, or simply
  socialising.
• Basically, healthy eating is about making a
  conscious choice of feeding your body only with
  the best produce.

Always Plan

• The key to wholesome and nutritious diets is
  planning. Plan all your meals in advance. Choose
  regional, seasonal and organic options wherever
  possible. Do not stay hungry for long periods of
  time eat at regular intervals. And drink plenty
  of water.
• While a lot of people aspire for a fit and
  healthy body, not many realise that nutrition is
  as important if not more as exercising to
  achieve that goal. If you eat pure food, you will
  have the energy to put in those dedicated hours
  for exercise.
• Without the incorporation of a healthy diet, no
  fitness regime can bear fruit. What you eat
  before and after the workout will ensure whether
  your efforts yield the desired results or not.

Mind Over Matter

• Theres absolute truth in the age-old saying We
  are what we eat. It is often observed that a
  smooth functioning of the gastrointestinal tract
  is linked to better mental health.
• Serotonin is a hormone produced chiefly in the
  digestive tract, which controls appetite, sleep
  patterns and moods. And serotonin production is
  influenced by good bacteria, which is found in
  probiotic food.
• Its for this reason that patients suffering from
  anxiety and depression are given ample probiotics.

• Sugar or carbohydrates are energy boosters and
  invariably lighten up your mood. Sugar works in
  the same fashion as a narcotic large amounts
  can give you a high, which is followed by a
  low.
• Complete elimination of this food group will
  subsequently leave you feeling gloomy. Similarly,
  a multitude of herbs and spices are attributed to
  either calming down your nerves or stimulating
  your senses.
• In other words, nutrition plays a vital role in
  mental well-being.
• Food can change the blueprint of your life. So,
  take charge of your food life and eat smart.
