  • Fibre is your friend – Recent studies indicate that a high fibre diet can reduce the risk of diabetes, prevent heart diseases and some types of cancer.

Fibre also keeps the body full for longer, which makes it perfect for people trying to lose weight. Although make it a point to increase your fibre intake gradually and not at one go.

  • Refined, not so fine Processed/refined foods are said to include more sugar, salt and fats, thus, calorie laden. Canned juices, foods with added preservatives and the likes – your biggest enemies!
  • Natural all the way – Eating seasonal fruits and veggies is an important thing to do. Natural foods are loaded with nutrients that the body needs. They can be filling and thus, help in boosting the digestive function. They also help to nourish and protect the skin. 
  • Sugar or sweetener – Using smaller quantities of sugar is better than using artificial sweeteners to disclude calories. Sweeteners tend to add to the cravings as well. However, the best is to use other alternatives like honey, jaggery, etc.  
  • Less is more  Eat in small portions, every 2 hours. Add more colour to your food by including different fruits and vegetables – these not only bring a sense of excitement, but also bring in the nutrition factor in the best possible way.
