5 months ago | 5 Views
In an Instagram post on June 8, nutrition and weight loss specialist Shweta Chhabra revealed that certain foods that are frequently misidentified as harmful are really good for you. She described how foods like ghee, potatoes, mangoes, and white rice can be a component of a well-balanced diet if consumed in moderation.
You have been given inaccurate information.
In her post with the heading "Foods you think are bad but are secretly healthy," Shweta stated: "You've been given wrong information about these 'bad' foods, which aren't actually bad." She continued, "Don't fall for diet myths." These meals were never the antagonists. Let's clear the air and start understanding your food instead of being afraid of it.
This is what Shweta stated:
1. Ghee (clarified butter)
Although ghee is frequently blamed for weight gain, it is high in fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K, and it promotes digestion and strengthens the immune system, according to Shweta.
“1 tsp/day in cooking or on hot dal or rice. It enhances taste and nutrient absorption,” Shweta said in describing how to consume it.
2. Complete eggs, including the yolk
"The yolk is not the enemy; it is full of choline, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and beneficial fats that are necessary for your brain and hormones," Shweta said.
"1–2 entire eggs with veggies for a complete, nutritious meal," she continued, is how to use it.
3. Mango
According to Shweta, mango is high in fiber, vitamin A, C, and digestive enzymes, but also rich in natural sugars, which really supports metabolism and skin health.
She continued with a pro tip: "Ideally, have one little mango before dinner, either after a meal or as a snack."
4. Rice that is white in color
According to Shweta, rice is "incorrectly labeled as fattening." "Rice is a gluten-free, easy-to-digest carb that provides quick energy," she explained.
"Pair it with protein like dal, rajma, or curd for a balanced meal," she advised.
5. Potatoes
"Frying potatoes makes you fat, not potatoes themselves," Shweta stated. "They are high in potassium, fiber, and vitamin C when boiled or baked (with skin)."
The optimum time to eat potatoes, according to Shweta, is after exercise or as a nutritious lunch with protein.
Further details
Why is there so much misunderstanding about these foods? The potential causes, according to Shweta, are as follows:
• Fad diets and misinformation from social media.
blaming natural foods for bad cooking techniques and overeating.
Mixing up processed and natural versions, such as fries and boiled potatoes.
She also provided tips on how to "include them wisely" into your diet:
Use ghee in moderation, not excessively.
To slow the release of sugar, combine protein with rice or potatoes.
In the first half of the day, savor mango.
Eat entire eggs rather than just the whites to get all the nutrients you need.
