Happy Mothers Day Each year Mother’s Day gives us an opportunity reflect back what our mothers and be thankful for her teachings. When I think back, one thing I am thankful for the balance my mom taught me. She worked, cooked 3 healthy meals, treated us on special occasions or surprised us with yummy goodies on her way back from work. We always enjoyed variety of heathy plates, and treats in moderation.... The word, diet was not in our vocabulary as our mom made sure we had the balance of everything. It was a treat this weekend enjoying my favourite dessert NY strawberry cheese cake at @juniors restaurant and Bakery in Times Square. There is no such thing as bad food, there may be healthier choices. Foods are associated with memories, it brings us joy so when I am treating myself I always remember not to feel guilty. #mothersday2022 #strawberrycheesecake #treat

It had romaine lettuce, berries, almonds, banana, ginger, seeds and more.

Festive season has begun! This season the focus is on family time, soak it in We are so conditioned to start with making a list for shopping, baking, decorating the house,etc. But let’s not forget to plan for our body too! Planning to keep that body healthy during the festive indulgence is important.... ‘‘tis the season My diet is pretty clean but party season is pretty tricky! What are your strategies that you follow? Here are some of the steps I take , Always start a day with a good breakfast! Eating a balanced breakfast keeps you fuller, and not tempted for reach out for unnecessary indulgence. Making sure to stay hydrated is the key too. Adding 5 to 6 extra glasses of water on top of what our body requires is the key. Effects of alcohol, late nights, tea and coffee’s dehydrates our body more. It’s winter season, keeping our body cared for is the key as well. I always start or end my day with probiotics. Gut happy, body happy. Snack or not to snack is a personal preference, I always carry protein powered snack in my purse. I know for my body balanced meals keep me away from reaching out. When one is grazing or snacking or follow a small meal guideline throughout the day, one can also spike the blood sugar levels which leads to a spike in insulin levels too . The more small meals we eat, more insulin our body releases which causes other symptoms like irritability, weight gain, wacky hormones etc. It is important to understand is insulin is a fat storing hormone and it increases inflammation too. So I keep snacking to a minimum and have 3 balanced meals insead. I find buffets can be an invitation for over indulgence. I always start with filling my plate with lots of veggies and protein. Moving away from the buffet table and sitting down and eating, focusing on chewing and relish ing food on the plate than constantly grazing is my motto. I stop eating when I feel 80% full and always take a break before reaching out for a small dessert. Also it is important to notice as one follows a clean diet, most of the time little amount of dessert can satisfy that sweet tooth much quicker. Invited for potluck? I like to offer a dish which I know that I like to see on my plate. e.g, a bowl of fresh fruit salad. Morning after a party, a good balanced breakfast also is essential to help our body with the foods high in sulphur, potassium, vitamin C. It is Important to replenish the electrolytes lost due to the diuretic effects. Including spices like cayenne, turmeric, cinnamon is my another go to as the properties of these are just amazing Healthy fats, specifically omega 3 as we are getting plenty of omega 6 from the holiday treats. Adding healthy fats like flax oil, hemp oil etc or supplement would be good to keep the inflammation in check. Lastly keep moving, stretching and focus on breathing. Happy Holidays everyone, stay safe and stay well.

Need idea for Holiday Dinner?

Pav Bhaji fusion! I don’t diet, I just eat healthy Another popular #mumbai street food, Pav Bhaji, a spicy potato and vegetables mixture drenched in butter and buns. Well, The dish originated as a fast lunchtime dish for textile mill workers in Mumbai, They sure needed the energy that this provides and interestingly the butter makes it low in glycaemic load.... Now when I make it as a meal, I pair it with protein and use more veggies like green bell pepper, eggplant, squash along with potatoes. Seasoned with spices, my fav @savoryspiceshop and rich in mineral salt, my fav @redmondrealsalt Make it #metabolicbalancerecipes by pairing with eggs as based on the body chemistry, a lot of my clients get potato’s as a starch with eggs.

Cauliflower is such a versatile vegetable that can be used for so many different dishes One of my favourite sides, roasted cauliflower salad Simply roasting the florets with avocado oil or any other clean oil such as ghee, coconut or grape seed oil, sea salt ( I love the garlic salt by @redmondrealsalt, seasonings)... One of my favourites are dried thyme, oregano and basil) or of your choice in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Cool it and mix it with greens, cherry tomatoes, shallots, chopped parsley.
