what does antioxidant mean and why Do We Need Antioxidants?

September 14, 2020January 10, 2023 | Vandita

What does antioxidant mean? Antioxidants are compounds produced in your body or naturally found in some foods that scavenge or neutralize the effects of cell damage by potentially harmful molecules known as free radicals. (what are free radicals?)

CONTROL FREE RADICALS <> BUILD IMMUNITY <> SAVE FROM DISEASE <> DELAY BODY DAMAGE/ AGING
Antioxidants are substances which save living organisms from oxidising or reaction with oxygen or aging. In simple words, when any object oxidises, it is becoming bad, over ripe, aging, reducing in nutrients. Take for example apple which when cut turns brown. However, when we apply lemon juice (antioxidant) on the cut fruit, its stops becoming brown or oxidising. When we consume food, along with energy, some free radicals (villains!) are released in the body. Antioxidants help to kill these villains or neutralise their power in order to keep our body healthy and disease free.

Foods with antioxidants

Even by eating 7-8 portions of colourful vegetables and fruits in a day, you might still be lacking in antioxidants. We need to consume almost 10000 units of antioxidants in a day. It is advisable to choose your meals in a way that your ‘nutrition and antioxidant’ content is met and you are at your healthiest.

5 seeds that are high in protein

September 12, 2020January 31, 2023 | Vandita

Protein is considered the body’s building block and repair agent and is integral in forming enzymes and hormones in the body. From digestion to immunity, from hair to nails, everything requires protein. Other than protein rich foods, it is important to feed children these seeds that are high in protein.

Chat on WhatsApp

What does protein do?

Protein is one of the three macro-nutrients (the other two being carbs and fat) and it is the most important nutrient required for a growing child. It is highly filling, helps with weight maintenance and is needed for repairing and building muscle tissue. Lentils, beans, dairy products, eggs, chicken, nuts and seeds with high protein content are very good source of protein. (How whey protein can help?)

5 seeds that are high in protein:

Over the past few years, seeds like pumpkin, chia, flaxseed, sunflower and sesame have gained a lot of popularity. Not only these are high in protein, but also contain other nutrients and hence are often called as superfoods. Let us know in details about the 5 seeds that are high in protein.

Seeds	Protein content
Pumpkin	12 g in cup of serving
Sunflower	5.8 g in 1 ounce of serving
Flax	5.1 g in 1 ounce of serving
Sesame	4.7 g in 1 ounce of serving
Chia	4.4 g in 1 ounce of serving

5 seeds that are high in protein

Pumpkin Seeds:

Pumpkin seeds are one of the best source of protein and are also rich in iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc. You can add them to salads, soups, trail mix or just roast and eat. (Other benefits of pumpkin seeds?)

Sunflower seeds:

Next best source of protein is sunflower seeds. Sunflower seeds are one of the best sources of vitamin E, which is needed by the body to repair damaged skin, improve vision and prevent disease. You can add sunflower seeds to any smoothie or cheela and increase the protein content. (How it helps to improve skin?)

FLAX seeds:

Also known as linseeds, Flaxseeds are the best source of alpha-linolenic acid (a type of omega-3 fatty acid). Adding adequate amounts of omega-3 rich foods in your diet helps to reduce inflammation, improve heart health and boost immunity. Flaxseed meaning in hindi is ‘Jawas’.

Sesame Seeds:

These seeds are also rich in calcium and hence supports bone health, blood clotting and maintaining weight. You can give sesame seeds in a paste form commonly known as Tahini or use it as a seasoning for any food.

Chia SEEDS:

In addition to protein, chia seeds are a very rich source of dietary fiber. When water is added to chia seeds, it absorbs the fiber to form a thick gel like substance. This gel like substance increases fullness and slows down the movement of food in the digestive system. And this combined with the high satiety of protein makes chia seeds beneficial for weight loss.(Tips to reduce obesity in kids?)

Recipe for Cheela with seeds, nuts and herbs:

10g protein snack: Sunflower, Pumpkin, Flax and Chia seeds CHEELA

Sunflower seed, Flax seed, Chia seed are the highest source of protein amongst all seeds and nuts. Add this to any dough or batter and make Paratha or Cheela. This is the go-to breakfast for my boys during school days. Protein rich meal in the early morning keeps them full for longer hours and also helps to sustain throughout the day (by digesting slowly).

Protein should be a major part of all the meals along with fat and carbs (which are equally important). The reason is that our body takes 15% energy from protein and remaining from fat and carbs.

Always powder Flax and Chia seeds before consuming directly or adding to any dough or batter, else it doesn’t get digested completely and nutrients are not entirely absorbed by the body.

What are the effects of sugar to the body of kids?

September 11, 2020September 13, 2023 | Vandita

The effects of sugar to the body of kids are severe. Sugar can harm the growth and performance of a child. Any kind of added sugar damages the protein in our body, resulting in aging of organs, which further compromises immunity, growth and functioning. Kids often fall sick, heal slow, are physically unfit and become lazy.

Effects of sugar to the body of kids.

May lead to weight gain
Causes tooth cavities
Risk of acne
May lead to fatty liver
Spikes blood sugar level

Greatest source of sugar in the average kid’s diet are sugary snacks and beverages like cookies, cakes, candies, fruit juice, soda, and sports drinks. Everything that the child picks up to eat today has strains of added sugar in some form or the other. The food industry has understood the formula to entice more and more kids towards their products- ADD SUGAR! While the small dosage of sugar treats is okay, but in this generation we have lost track on moderation.

Consuming 1-2 tsp of added sugar is acceptable in a day.

Our body runs on energy which is derived from Protein, Fat and Carbs. 50-60% of daily energy comes from carbs (Fiber + Sugar). Today, majority of the energy (calorie) from carbs is derived from added sugar intake. Whereas, for our kids to have a balanced healthy growth, we need the energy (calorie) to come from natural sources of carbs (sugar) along with protein and fat. The solution here is to shift focus to natural sweeteners like fruits, berries, dried fruits, honey, maple syrup etc.
