benefits of cashew nuts:

Overall health:

Cashew is a great source of antioxidants that keep body healthy and disease free by neutralising free radicals and reducing inflammation. Study presents that roasted cashews appear to have an increased antioxidant level compared with raw cashews.

Bones:

Benefits of raw cashew nuts include stronger bones. Being high in Copper, Calcium, Manganese and Magnesium, this nut supports stronger bones. Deficiency of these minerals have shown to cause osteoporosis later in life.

Eyesight:

Due to excessive pollution and screen time, kids often suffer from eye infection and weak vision. Cashews contains a powerful antioxidant called Zea Xanthin which is absorbed by retina and helps in maintaining eye health.

Digestion:

Cashews are good source of fibre which aids in better digestion. Some research suggests that consuming whole, raw cashews benefits in weight loss too since only 70% fat of the nut is absorbed by the body and the rest is excreted with fibre. However excessive consumption may cause bloating.

High Energy:

Cashews are one of the most ideal source of quick energy for atheletes since they are high in protein. It is also a rich source of copper which is necessary to absorb iron in the body to keep energy levels high (haemoglobin high)

Hair and Skin:

Another benefits of cashew nuts are improved hair & skin. Copper in cashew helps in building skin and hair pigment which also gives the color and shine. It also supports production of collagen and elastin resulting in healthy skin.

Cashews should be consumed raw, not salted. This is primarily because cashew and salt together decrease the nutrition of the body. Cashew is a great source of calcium for bones. Salt has sodium. When calcium combines with sodium, it results in lack of absorption of calcium by the body which causes weaker bones and teeth. You can read more about this here.

There is some research on how the nutrition property changes when the nuts are consumed raw vs. roasted. For cashews, roasting the nut increases the lineolic acid (good for our brain, heart) significantly. Roast and enjoy!

Ageing skin signs: Cut down your sugar intake!

October 7, 2020January 10, 2023 | Vandita

Sugar ages you! Yes, you read it right. It is pretty hard to avoid sugar, especially to those who have a sweet tooth. While sweets taste absolutely delicious all the time, it can also create worries about ageing skin. Although there are numerous factors that affect the skin, sugar is perhaps the worst. (Sugar effects on body)

Processed foods and the foods that are high on glycemic index scale not only affects your waistline but creates havoc on ageing skin too. It is not that you should completely avoid sugar but limit it to low amounts. Sugars that are found naturally in fruits and vegetables are indeed good for your health as they are absorbed more slowly and consist of complex carbohydrates and fibers.

Also, fiber rich food helps in slowing down the absorption of sugar in the gastrointestinal system. But how do you see the sugar effects on the body and skin? (Effect of sugar on kids)

Signs that sugar is aging your skin:

Skin sagging
Upper lip crosshatch lines
Hyperpigmentation
Discolorations
Hard layer of skin
Skin wear and tear
Deep crevices around the curve areas of face

How does sugar affect our skin?

Glycation: Glycation is nothing but a chemical reaction that occurs when sugar normal range in the bloodstream hikes beyond what our insulin can handle. More glycation, the faster the signs of ageing skin. When you consume sugar, insulin is released to control blood sugar levels. This process promotes the release of stress hormones that cause pimples or acne.

Collagen and elastin damage: The above-mentioned process of glycation affects the two major skin protein collagen and elastin. These proteins are responsible for keeping the skin firm, healthy and youthful. As these two proteins come in contact with the sugar, they become weak or impaired and start showing signs of ageing skin.

Disables naturally present antioxidant enzymes: Antioxidants are imperative as it protects skin from free radical damage and UV rays. Consumption of sugar increases the production of free radicals in the body. This creates oxidative stress and damages skin which contributes to ageing skin. (Why do we need antioxidants)

How to prevent sugar face?

Cutting down your sugar intake doesn’t mean completely eliminating it. Just be aware of where the sugar is coming and how much you are having.

Reduce sugar intake: If you say that you have completely eliminated sugar from your diet, let me say that is practically possible to achieve. This is because a lot of food contains hidden sugars. Maximum 25g of sugar is what out body can handle without adverse effects. Cut of the processed foods. Choose foods that have low glycemic scale value. Read labels to make healthier choices. (Healthy sugar alternatives)

Sleep: Lack of sleep or poor quality of sleep shows signs of ageing skin by producing fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, slugging and even lessens the skin tightness. Good sleep also counteracts the effect of sugar to skin and other stressors. (Eat this to get sound sleep)

Adequate water intake: Drink plenty of water and eat plenty of water if you want to glow. Water not only hydrates the skin but also supports the production of collagen and elastin.

Proper diet: Proper diet which is rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A,D,E,K,C B1,B6,B12 and magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, calcium, proteins, fats are essential in skin development and maintenance. Include fiber rich food in your diet as these slow the absorption of sugar.

Reduce stress: A tip for healthy skin. Avoid stress! Stressing produces the hormone cortisol, increases the inflammation and glycation actions on the skin. Also, stress upsurges the cravings for sweet and sugary foods.

Sugar Effects on Body: Problems with added sugar

September 9, 2020August 12, 2021 | Vandita

AGING <> LOWER IMMUNITY <> COLLAGEN LOSS <> SAGGING <> DARK SPOTS <> ACNE
Sugar effects on body of both kids and adults. Aging and immunity are compromised with sugar intake. This is true for kids and adults both. We both process the sugar in a similar way. Even internally, our organs are aging or weakening with sugar intake.

Sugar causes inflammation in the body which results in joint pains, and also damage the protein fiber which is responsible in keeping your skin firm and youthful.. 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! However, sugar has many positives and contains healthy nutrients, if you take it in its natural form. In processed form, large intake of sugar can harm the growth and performance of a child. Sugar damages the protein in our body, resulting in ageing of organs, which further compromises immunity, growth and functioning.

Sugar is labelled in 50 different names- raw sugar, cane sugar, agave, corn syrup, brown sugar, extra refined white sugar, juice concentrates, fruit juices and so on- we need to educate ourselves on the ingredients being used. Get rid of sugar early in life!

Enjoy DATES!

Date sugar is made by drying and powdering the dates. It is an easier sweetener to add to baked goods like cakes and cookies, and also to porridge and oat meals. Apart from making the dish sweet, it is a powerhouse of antioxidants, iron and fiber. by using healthy sugar alternatives you can minimize the sugar effects on body(Recipe for Almond oats date cookies)
