Complex Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates provide energy for your workouts. Opt for complex carbs like whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, whole wheat bread), oats, sweet potatoes, and legumes.

Healthy Fats: Healthy fats are essential for overall health and can provide long-lasting energy. Include sources like avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish (salmon, mackerel).

Fruits and Vegetables: These are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall health and recovery. They also provide fiber for digestion. Aim for a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables.

Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt is high in protein and also provides probiotics for gut health. Add berries and a drizzle of honey for a delicious and nutritious snack.

Eggs: Eggs are an excellent source of protein and essential amino acids. They also contain healthy fats and important vitamins and minerals.

Nuts and Seeds: These are great for snacking and provide healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds are good choices.

Bananas: Bananas are rich in potassium, which can help prevent muscle cramps. They also provide quick energy due to their natural sugars.

Brown Rice: Brown rice is a complex carbohydrate that provides sustained energy and is great for replenishing glycogen stores after a workout.

Lean Turkey or Chicken Breast: These lean meats are high in protein and low in fat, making them excellent choices for muscle recovery and growth.

Spinach: Spinach is loaded with iron, which is essential for oxygen transport in the body. It also provides vitamins and minerals for overall health.

Best midday snacks to kill hunger  

One of the hardest things to overcome is those mid-day hunger pangs. In reality, the midday meal is quite an important one as it makes sure that your metabolic rate is high and that your body consistently burns calories.

Often, people ignore this meal and tend to eat fatty and sugar-rich foods in turn. When you are hungry, your body’s cravings for fat and sugar increases drastically. It is a quick way for the body to restore the necessary calories. However, these foods are low in nutritional value and pack in several loose calories.

Instead, keep the following healthy midday snacks handy to stay on your fitness regime.

1. Vegetables and hummus

Hummus is a beautiful blend of chickpeas and olive oil. This is a good source of proteins. This is the perfect dip for several raw vegetables including carrots, cucumber, beetroots, and celery. The raw fruits also give you the necessary fiber, which keeps you feeling fuller for longer. 1753_healthly-snack-platter

2. Energy Bites

In a food processor, blend in dates and a few dry fruits. To add some flavor, you can even throw in some cocoa powder. This sticky paste can be rolled into small energy balls that are can be eaten whenever you feel the hunger creeping in. They give you an instant boost of calories. In addition to that, these energy balls are also very versatile. So, you can experiment to create special recipes that are tasty and healthy.pumpkin-energy-bites

3.Berries

Carry an assortment of berries with you in an airtight bag or box. These berries are loaded with antioxidants. They are also rich sources of vitamins and minerals. The natural sugar in the berries also satisfies the craving for sugar that is associated with mid-morning hunger. Eating dried berries is also an option. They are easier to store and last a lot longer.berry_basket

4.Smoothies

A blend of your favorite fruits and vegetables makes for the simplest and tastiest midday snack. The fruits and vegetables are extremely filling, as they are loaded with fiber. This snack is also very easy to carry with you. If you have a good workout routine, you also have the option of adding in a scoop of protein powder of your choice to make it a healthier snack. Add some flaxseeds to get a good boost of omega-3 fatty acids with your mid-morning smoothie. Using berries will give your smoothie the sweet taste that is great to curb midmorning hunger pangs. You can even add sweeteners like honey to do the trick for you.Top Four Breakfast Rules for Weight loss | 98Fit

5. Peanut butter sandwich

If you are short of time, all you need is some brown bread and a good dollop of peanut butter. Peanut butter is called a bliss food because of its sweet and salty taste. These foods are extremely palatable and can curb even the strongest hunger pangs. Peanut is also packed with proteins and healthy fats. The fiber and the grains in the bread are filling and will keep you satiated until your next meal. You can even opt for a dark chocolate spread or avocadoes if you have access to it. They are known for giving you a great boost of energy and load your body with healthy fatty acids respectively.theres-one-simple-way-to-pick-the-healthiest-sandwich-spread

6. Assorted nuts

Keep a bag of your favorite nuts handy at all times. A handful of nuts are good enough to give you that immediate boost of energy. They are loaded with calories and provide you with a good source of healthy fats, proteins and fiber. It is best that you opt for roasted nuts as they even have the added taste. Avoid nuts that are salted or sweetened. They are processed and contain several additives that do more harm than good to your body.Navratri Diet for Weight Loss | 98Fit

7. Yogurt and cucumber

Yogurt is full of proteins. When mixed with cucumber or even vegetables like beetroot and carrots, it makes for a great snack. Homemade yogurt is the healthiest option for you. You can be certain that there are no added flavors and preservatives. If you have a sweet tooth, you can even add your favorite fruits to yogurt. Berries, bananas, pineapples, and apples with yogurt make a healthy and tasty mid-morning snacktzatziki-sauce-stock-today-tease-170418_ec02bd1e52c7472efd567784b334f6cb-today-inline-large

Keep your snacks handy so that you can eat them as soon as you begin to feel the symptoms of hunger. Ignoring these symptoms of putting off your snack time is more likely to make you reach out for unhealthy options even when you have a healthy one at hand.

You can alternatively fix a snack time between your meals so that your body knows that it is going to get the fuel it needs. This reduces the intensity of these cravings. For a full week diet plan, check out here.

8 Foods That Help Toddlers Gain Weight

Parents should monitor their child's growth chart to see if it's healthy for their age and gender. Your child may eat well but not gain weight for their age. No worries, though. Some kids have a faster metabolism and eat more quickly. They must eat enough vitamin- and mineral-rich food for their active lifestyle. Undernourished children are tired, irritable, and stunted. A diet rich in these nutrients aids weight gain, protein, and mineral intake. Being overweight can lead to obesity, which can cause preventable lifestyle-related health problems in young adults. Child diets need fat, but only certain types help growth and development. These toddler food ideas will help them gain weight. So, then…

Flaxseed: Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in flax seeds, are crucial to proper brain development. It's available both whole and ground. Studies have shown that the human digestive system more readily absorbs ground flaxseed. The ground flax seed can be added to breakfast cereals or baked goods batter. Use ground flaxseed instead of a quarter of flour in muffins, bread, and pancakes.

Yoghurt: Yoghurt is a healthy and tasty option for keeping little tummies full and content. Instead of low-fat yoghurt or sugary versions, opt for the full-fat variety and top it with honey or fresh fruit for a healthy upbringing. Yoghurts typically have a higher calcium content than milk.

Avocado: Avocados contain monounsaturated fats, the "good" fats children need to grow. A ripe avocado is a healthy and tasty baby food; the peel can be removed before feeding. Mashing a ripe avocado with a fork is easy. Spread it on wraps or sandwiches instead of mayonnaise or cream cheese to entice picky eaters under five. Mix mashed avocado, lemon juice, and salt to make the dip.

Mango: Most kids like mangoes in any form. Its vitamin C and fibre content helps kids' gums and teeth. Mango smoothies or custard are another tasty way to feed your kids healthy nutrients.

Eggs: Eggs are beneficial to a growing child's brain development because of the protein and DHA they contain.

Whole Grains: Fibre, protein, B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants are some of the many nutrients in whole grains. Weight loss, cardiovascular health, and avoiding type 2 diabetes are all improved by these. Additionally, it aids in general digestion improvement and cholesterol reduction.

Milk: Milk gives your child plenty of calcium, which is needed for healthy bones and teeth. Milk's vitamin D helps the body use calcium.

Ragi: Ragi's high calcium content makes it a healthy choice for growing kids. Since it turns brown when roasted, you can use it instead of chocolate in cookies to make your kid happy.

Conclusion

Children need good nutrition to grow and develop. Healthy eating requires vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Avoid packaged or processed foods because added sugars harm their immune systems. You must introduce your child to healthy foods in a fun way to help them like them.

Simple Whole Wheat Bread

Do you love the aroma of freshly baked bread filling your kitchen? Are you looking for a simple and healthy recipe to make your own whole wheat bread at home? Look no further! In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of making delicious and nutritious whole wheat bread from scratch.Whole wheat bread is not only a tasty treat but also a healthier alternative to white bread. Packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, it can be a great addition to your daily diet. By making your own bread, you have full control over the ingredients, ensuring that you and your family enjoy a wholesome and nutritious loaf.Now, let's dive into the recipe and get started on your homemade whole wheat bread adventure. But before we begin, let's take a look at the ingredients you'll need: - 4 cups of whole wheat flour - 2 tablespoons of honey - 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast - 1 ½ teaspoons of salt - 2 tablespoons of olive oil - 2 cups of warm water - 3 cups of whole wheat flour - 1 ½ cups of warm water - 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup - 2 tablespoons of olive oil - 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast - 1 teaspoon of salt - Start by measuring out the required amount of whole wheat flour. It's important to use fresh flour for the best results. - In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour with salt and any other dry ingredients, such as yeast or sugar, if the recipe calls for them. - Next, make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. This will be the space where you'll add the wet ingredients. - Pour the warm water or milk into the well, along with any other liquids, such as oil or honey. These ingredients will help bind the dough together and add moisture. - Using a wooden spoon or your hands, gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. - Once the dough starts to come together, transfer it onto a lightly floured surface for kneading. - Knead the dough by pushing it away from you with the heel of your hand, then folding it back towards you. Repeat this motion for about 10-15 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. - If the dough feels too sticky, you can add a little more flour. Conversely, if it feels too dry, add a small amount of water or oil. - After kneading, shape the dough into a ball and place it back into the mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. - Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This process is known as proofing. - For a beautiful golden crust, you can brush the top of your bread with an egg wash before baking. This will give it a lovely shine and enhance the overall appearance. - If you prefer a softer crust, you can cover your bread with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. This will help to trap moisture and create a softer texture on the outside. - To ensure that your bread is fully baked, you can use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read around 190°F (88°C) when the bread is done. - Seeds and Nuts: Incorporating seeds and nuts into your whole wheat bread not only adds a delightful crunch but also boosts its nutritional value. Consider adding flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, or chopped walnuts for a wholesome twist. - Dried Fruits: For a touch of sweetness, try mixing in dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates.

Wrap the slices tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.

You can mix them into the dough during the kneading process or sprinkle them on top before baking. - Q: How do I know when the bread is fully baked? A: You can check the doneness of the bread by tapping the bottom of the loaf. If it sounds hollow, it is likely fully baked. Additionally, you can use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should be around 190°F (88°C). - Q: Can I freeze the bread?

Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately and follow the recommended kneading and proofing times. - Q: How can I achieve a softer crust?
