Eating Healthy – ‘The Japanesey Way’
One of her major secrets to a healthy diet is to eat like the Japanese! We’re all aware that the Japanese are the healthiest people on earth, aren’t we? And the credit goes to their delectable yet healthy cuisine. Hence, her diet majorly consists of seafood, tofu and sushi, a bowl full of soup with a side of poached mushrooms and assorted, leafy vegetables. Not only does this diet give her enough energy from all the proteins, iron, vitamins and minerals present in high quantities but also balances her heart health and blood pressure due to its low cholesterol value. It’s filling and delicious yet devoid of unhealthy fats.
What’s more, is that just like the Japanese, she prefers to eat her food poached, steamed or baked rather than grilling or frying it in deep oil. Now, isn’t that a sensible choice?
Breakfast
A bowl of nutritious oatmeal (savoury or sweet) or three scrumptious and gooey, egg whites between two toasts, followed by a cup of tea. Sometimes, she also loves indulging in kandha poha!
Lunch
A piece of chicken/seafood, some vegetables and a few carbs. She believes that a sizeable amount of carb is necessary to keep you well-energised for any physical activity that might take place during the day. Hence, she prefers to eat rotis made of bajra – rich in antioxidants and beneficial for eyes, skin and heart – instead of those made of wheat. She avoids eating rice entirely.
Mid-Meal Snack
She loves consuming dry fruits to satisfy her hunger pangs. Her idea of mid-meal snacks is a combination of nuts or a bowl of curd with half a fruit.
Dinner
She likes doing an early dinner around 7 or 7:30 as it helps in digestion and promotes weight loss by burning more fat. Her meal usually comprises of a small bowl of salad with some fish/chicken.
Drinks
She’s a tea-lover and needs a minimum of two cups of chai in a day to function.
She also chooses to drink sweet, coconut water instead of aerated, soft drinks.
Desserts
She’s got a sweet tooth! And that’s exactly why she practices portion control. Her weaknesses include sweet and crunchy, caramel popcorn or homemade til ladoos.
