Dr Anjali Hooda’s Stay Berry Light This Summer – 3 Recipes

Last week, I visited a nutritionist Dr Anjali Hooda as I wanted some advice on my diet plan. My query was direct, I wanted to lose weight before the summers set in and before our family’s annual beach holiday. Besides, I needed some sustainable healthy eating tips, as one can diet only for a limited period to get to the desired body weight, but maintenance is equally tricky owing to our social urban lifestyle.

The few interesting facts that I found out will be shared here, followed by some healthy recipes. Berries are rich in antioxidants. Certain varieties like blueberry or raspberry lack sugar, so can be eaten liberally. Chia seeds, flower seeds like sunflower etc, can be consumed for health benefits or even sprinkled liberally on salads etc.
Chia seeds contain omega-3 that helps in reducing triglyceride and promotes good health. Alfalfa sprouts are good source of vitamins, minerals and act as a detoxifier. However, every one must consult their doctors before starting any diet programme as everyone has different requirement depending on their medical conditions.

Let’s experiment this week with some healthy cooking.
