DATES ARE THE HEALTHIEST DAYTIME SNACK EVER !

Fruits are one of the most nutritious types of foods available to man. They are delicious, come in so many different forms and flavours and are filled with the most beneficial nutrients and minerals that benefit the body. And one fruit that not only fulfils all these qualities but also has an extremely rich history attached to it is dates derived from the date palm tree. The date palm tree most likely originated around the area of present day Iraq, but it has been grown in many different part of the world since ancient times. Due to its long history of cultivation, dates hold great cultural significance for many people, and among the Muslim population they are used to break fasts.

They carry myriad health benefits that can energize your body and mind. Here are a few reasons dates can be one of the healthiest snacks in the world.

They can help in treating digestive disorders

Dates have a curious ingredient in them not known to many people – nicotine. While we usually associate nicotine with tobacco, in smaller quantities it can be quite healthy for the body, especially the digestive system. Nicotine can stop the harmful pathogens from flourishing in our intestines and stomach, thereby helping to promote the growth of useful and friendly bacteria that aid in digestion and proper breakdown of food. For those who suffer from digestive troubles, chewing on a date will not only fill your belly but also ensure that your digestive system is in the peak of health.

Moreover, dates also contain fiber and amino acids that ensure that all the nutrients you consume are actually absorbed by your body.

They are incredibly good for your bones

Dates are extremely rich sources of a number of essential minerals. Minerals like magnesium, copper and selenium are found in abundance in dates and these minerals are crucial for building and maintaining healthy bones in your body. Also, as people age their bones and joints start getting weak due to wear and tear. Due to their rich mineral content, dates can help old people stave off the onset of painful conditions like osteoporosis.

They can help reduce the effects of allergies

Dates have another uncommon component which gives it great importance from a health perspective – sulphur. Sulphur isn’t found in a lot of foods and it can help people who are suffering from seasonal allergies to control and treat their symptoms effectively.

They can ease you out of a hangover

If you’ve had a night out partying with your friends, chances are you’d be going through a terrible hangover the next morning. In that case, munching on a date bar may help ease the misery as it has a sobering effect on the body.

They can provide you with a quick energy fix

If you work long hours or generally find yourself getting tired during the workday, you need a pick-me-up so that the tiredness doesn’t affect your work. In such a situation, having a healthy snack like dates can be the difference between impressing your boss and having to work overtime. Dates are an amazing bundle of energy and contain a number of natural sugars like fructose, sucrose and glucose. All these can provide you with the essential burst of energy you require in the afternoon to finish the day on a high!

The next best thing to eating dates and the best snack you can carry to your workplace. Even children who may have trouble eating the fruit will relish the taste and nutrition found in dates.

Stay Fit…….

WHY POHA CAN BE YOUR HEALTHIEST CHOICE FOR BREAKFAST

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, as many will tell you. It is the first meal we eat after we wake up, it is the meal we eat before we leave for our offices to work and it is the meal that is going to sustain us through the gruelling morning hours and all the tension and stress that come with it. Your breakfast should equip you with enough energy and nutrients to take on all these challenges and also provide you with nutrients that improve your overall health.

A breakfast favorite of healthy people is Poha. Poha is derived from beaten rice flakes which are then dried for at least two days. During this drying process, fermentation occurs further enriching the poha with vitamin B and useful probiotic bacteria. Poha can be mixed with a number of ingredients to produce a fantastic breakfast, full of nutrients and energy. Here are a few amazing nutritional benefits of poha that will convince you that it deserves a place on your breakfast table:-

1.  It is an easily customizable dish

One of the best things about including poha in your breakfast is that you can very easily customize it to your taste and nutritional needs. You can add several ingredients to your poha to suit your dietary requirements – everything from fresh vegetables, dry fruits, peanuts, sprouts and even eggs can be added to poha and they all can come together to provide you with enough energy and nutrition to last a long time. And best of all, it will always taste great!

2.  It provides you with energy in the morning

Our body requires energy to go through the tough routine of the morning – waking up, getting dressed, taking the commute and finally working at the office. Most of the energy our body needs comes from carbohydrates and poha is filled with this energy providing substance. In fact, poha is one of the healthiest sources of carbs – carbs in poha are rich in fiber.

Not only does poha give you all the energy you need, it does so in a way that leaves you fresh and raring to go. Unhealthy sources of carbs often have the opposite effect – they make you feel lazy and drowsy which is something you definitely don’t want early in the morning.

3.  It is a great source of iron

Iron is one of the most essential minerals required by our body. And what better way to fulfil this need early in the morning with your breakfast? Poha is packed with iron – 100 mg of poha contains roughly 20 mg of iron. This iron will help you keep diseases like anaemia at bay. Moreover, adequate consumption of iron also increases your haemoglobin count. This results in greater oxygenation of the blood, meaning your body becomes more healthy and immune to several diseases.

4.  It is good for patients of diabetes

People who are suffering from diabetes don’t respond very well to rapid fluctuations in blood sugar levels. This can cause severe complications in diabetic patients and a number of unhealthy breakfast options (sweets and junk food) can do that to the body. On the other hand, poha is well known to be a slow releasing sugar. This means that the blood sugar levels will not rise or fall suddenly, but will instead build up and perish slowly, keeping the harmful effects of diabetes away.

5.  It is perfect for weight watchers

Poha is a vital part of a weight conscious diet. Due to its fiber content, it improves the digestion process and ensures that all the fats in the body are digested and don’t accumulate. In addition to this, it is also extremely filling and energizing which means that you won’t feel bloated after your breakfast. A small amount of poha will satiate your appetite and ensure you don’t overeat right at the start of the day.

Poha is one of the healthiest breakfast options out there and these health benefits are a testament to that claim. So if you want a bright and healthy start to your day, try it out and feel the difference!

Be Healthy........
