winter-diet

Healthy eating is a prerequisite to a healthy life. Each & every season of the year requires precise winter diet regime satisfying dietary needs. The winter season food shifts from chilled ice-cream relished during scorching summer to yummy piping hot soups.

These cold months are thought of as a wonderful time to have the benefits of fiber-rich blessings of nature. As the winter chill sets in, we love gorging on eating butter smudged paranthas, assorted pakoras, samosas, hot gulab-jamuns, etc while staying warm. Various studies back up that winter weight gain is no more a myth.

Due to the digestive system being active and resultant increase in hunger level, people tend to eat repetitively at short intervals and can actually digest food better in winter ensuing weight gain later on. For this reason, one should eat winter friendly healthy food which may be bit calorie-rich and stay active to keep off inches on the waistline.

Our body needs specific foods in its diet regime during the winters like dried fruits & nuts, hot meals which are satisfying and furnishing positive health benefits. Sautéed, roasted, or as a stir-fry, colorful winter vegetables are the perfect way to supplement your body with varied nutrients, which promise to ward against certain health problems and enhancing your immunity. The combination of cold weather, staying in-doors, lots of good food, festive season around winters and family get-togethers during winter can be very hard-hitting for the skin, hair & overall physical health. As we tend to minimize physical exercises and other forms of out-door activities, it is compulsory to pick up a fruit-filled and vegetable-rich diet. Including healthy foods (below list) in your diet regime will provide warmth along with nourishment this winter.
