Blog2: Don’t Let the Menu Scare You:Tips For Eating Healthy at any Restaurant

Going to a restaurant shouldn't be your excuse to eat unhealthy foods. Follow these tips and not only you will enjoy your meal more, but you'll also feel satisfied and happy when you're done.

  1. Check the menu before you leave home: Most of the restaurants post their menus on their websites. You can decide before ordering the food and if you don’t see anything that’s healthy, pick another restaurant.
  2. Order a salad before ordering anything else on the menu: Eat raw salads and avoid the cheesy, oily dressings.
  3. Beware of the low-carb options: These days many restaurants have jumped on the low-carbohydrate foods, offering numerous low-carb options on their menu. But low-carb doesn’t mean low-calories.
  4. Skip the carbonated drinks: They include sugary additions that only add calories. So say bye-bye to cola or other exotic mixed drinks.
  5. Skip the dessert: You can always have a small piece of chocolate at home. That is much better health-wise than the Triple Chocolate Meltdown or a mountain of ice cream topped by a second mountain of whipped cream.
  6. Drink Water: Studies have shown that drinking water throughout your meal helps fill you up and curb your appetite. People who drink water with their meals are less likely to overindulge in the main course. Next time you are at a restaurant, swap a high-sugar soft beverage for a glass of ice water. Ask your waiter for a slice of fresh lemon to jazz up your water even more.
Eating out should be a fun experience but it doesn’t have to compromise your health! The next time you are ordering out from a restaurant keep the tips above in the back of your mind. It is important to remember that an occasional cheeseburger or side of cheesy pasta will not totally compromise your diet. The problem comes about when these foods become a part of your regular diet, and over time can lead to serious health consequences.

Thank You.!!

कमलगट्टा: फायदे और खाने के तरीके

कमलगट्टे का नाम तो आपने सुना ही होगा। कमलगट्टा, कमल का ही फल है, जिसका निर्माण कमल के फूल से ही होता है। आपको जानकर आश्चर्य होगा कि पूजा-पाठ और मंत्रजाप की माला में प्रयोग किया जाने वाला कमलगट्टा खाने के काम भी आता है। कमल के इस फल में मौजूद बीजों को छीलकर खाया जाता है, जो मूंगफली की तरह होते हैं। यह स्वादिष्ट छोटा सा बीज कई प्रकार के पोषक तत्वों से भरपूर होता है।   कमलगट्टा, कमल का बीज या कमल नट है जो कमल की प्रजातियों के फल (नेलुम्बो न्यूसीफेरा) से निकलता है। कई लोग मखाना को कमल का बीज कहते हैं लेकिन यह गलत है। मखाना या फॉक्सनट पानी की लिली की एक अलग प्रजाति से संबंधित है जिसे यूरेल फेरॉक्स कहा जाता है। चूंकि दोनों जलीय निवास में बढ़ती प्रजातियों से संबंधित हैं, इसलिए लोग पहचान के साथ भ्रमित होते हैं। दोनों फॉक्स नट्स (या गोर्गन नट्स) और लोटस नट्स खाने योग्य हैं, लेकिन उपयोग अलग है। मखानों को बनाने के लिए फॉक्सनट्स को उच्च ताप पर पॉपअप किया जाता है और जो पॉप नहीं किए जाते हैं उन्हें मखाने का सत्तू बनाया जाता है जो क...
