Want Your Toddlers to Eat Green Vegetables
Tumblr media
Turning Green into a Toddler’s Delight: Tips for Vegetable Victory!
Parents, we understand the daily struggle of getting your toddlers to embrace the world of green vegetables. But fear not! With a bit of creativity and patience, you can transform the dinner table into a colorful and nutritious playground. Here’s how:
1.Make it Fun and Colorful:-
Create a vibrant plate by combining different colored vegetables. Arrange them into fun shapes or create a colorful veggie rainbow. The more visually appealing, the more likely your toddler will be intrigued to try them.
2. Get Them Involved in Cooking:-
Let your little ones be your kitchen helpers. When they participate in preparing a meal, they are more likely to feel a sense of ownership and curiosity about the ingredients. Give them simple tasks like washing vegetables or tearing lettuce leaves.
3. Dip it! Dip it Good:-
Kids love to dip! Serve green vegetables with a side of tasty dip — whether it’s hummus, yogurt-based dressing, or guacamole. The dipping process can make eating veggies a playful and enjoyable experience.
4. Turn Veggies into Shapes:-
Use cookie cutters to transform vegetables into fun shapes. Broccoli trees, carrot stars, and cucumber circles can turn a regular salad into an exciting and visually appealing adventure.
5. Blend Them into Smoothies:-
Sneak in those greens by blending them into delicious smoothies. Combine spinach or kale with fruits like bananas, berries, and a splash of yogurt. The natural sweetness of the fruits can mask the taste of the veggies.
6. Create Food Adventures:-
Turn mealtime into a culinary adventure. Pretend the veggies are magical trees or superhero fuel. Narrate stories about the exciting journey the veggies have taken to land on their plates.
7. Incorporate Veggies into Familiar Dishes:-
Sneak veggies into their favorite dishes. Add finely chopped spinach to spaghetti sauce or mix grated zucchini into muffin batter. Slowly integrating veggies into familiar foods can make the transition smoother.
8. Be a Veggie Role Model:-
Kids are more likely to try new foods if they see their parents enjoying them. Show your enthusiasm for green vegetables, and they may be inspired to follow suit. Lead by example!
Remember, it’s all about creating positive associations with veggies. Be patient, stay creative, and watch your toddlers embrace the goodness of green with excitement!

A trained nutritionist and dietitian, my journey of working with dietary restrictions started in 2000 when my mother was diagnosed with gluten and dairy intolerance. When my daughter was one year old, I discovered that she was allergic to certain foods including eggs, berries, yeast, etc. My son too was born with food allergies and this meant that I started baking furiously for them so that they could indulge safely. I experimented with alternate flours and natural sugars. Soon I was bringing healthy desserts to my family meals and gatherings.
In due course I introduced these hand crafted desserts to my patients.

Weight Loss Tips For Pcos
Tumblr media
PCOS or polycystic ovarian syndrome is referred to a condition in which cysts develop on the ovaries. Between 4–20% of women in their reproductive phase of life may suffer from this condition. This condition is characterised by hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, inflammation, etc. All these together can make weight loss difficult, especially for those women who also have thyroid disorders. PCOS is also the leading cause of infertility in women.
Following are some tips for losing weight with PCOS:
Reducing carbohydrate intake
PCOS is often associated with insulin resistance (35% to 80% cases). In insulin resistance, the cells of the body are unable to absorb glucose from blood in normal amounts, leading to high blood sugar levels. This in turn can lead to higher conversion of sugar to fat in the body and weight gain. Reducing simple carbohydrates intake can directly lead to lowering of insulin levels, thereby reducing carb conversion to fat. At the same time, consuming a low GI (glycemic index) diet reduces insulin resistance and fat storage around the belly area.
Increase protein intake
Protein intake has been shown to improve blood sugar management by giving a feeling of fullness for longer. In addition, it also helps in losing weight. But remember that total protein intake should not exceed more than 40% of total calorie intake, as very high intakes can cause increased stress on the kidneys.
Include nuts and seeds
Nuts and seeds are powerhouses of healthy fats, vitamins and minerals like omega 3 fatty acids, zinc, iron, selenium, etc. Seeds like pumpkin, sesame, flax and sunflower have been shown to bring about a balance between the reproductive hormones.
Reduce sugar consumption
Refined sugar, jaggery, honey all are high calorie foods with high glycemic indices and thus should be avoided. Added sugars also increase weight and insulin resistance. Research also shows that women with PCOS have higher blood sugar spikes on ingestion of sugar as compared to women without PCOS.
Get physically active
Exercise has been shown to help at multiple levels; be it weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, better hormonal health, etc. Therefore it is important to invest at least 30–40 minutes daily for exercise.
Get adequate sleep
Inadequate sleep increases levels of hormones like cortisol and ghrelin, that increase the feeling of hunger. It also leads to increased inflammation in the body. Our bodies carry out repair of damaged muscles and detoxification while we are asleep. Thus getting enough sleep is an important part of not just your weight loss, but also your health journey.
If you have PCOS and would like to lose weight, or improve your fertility, and are looking for help in planning and meal prep ideas, contact Kanupriya Khanna, one of the best Dietitian and Nutritionist in Delhi.

4 Simple Steps To Handle Kids Sugar Obsession
Tumblr media
One of the most common dilemma that all parents face today is how to tackle the sugar consumption of their children. The point is not just about the consumption of desserts, cookies, etc., but one also needs to take into account all those foods that have hidden sugar in them; for eg.: sauces, take outs, salad dressings, low fat alternatives that otherwise might seem healthy, etc. With both parents working and children living in nuclear families, this gets even more difficult as convenience sometimes takes over the priority. After a busy day at work, we do not want to deal with temper tantrums or opposition to a meal.
Here are 4 steps that can be the start of your journey towards dealing with your child’s sugar fixation:
1. Serve the dessert with a meal
There’s nothing that works better than surprising your children with a dessert when they least expect it. As a family, you may have decided that your children are allowed a dessert twice a week on say Wednesday and Saturday. Try giving them on a Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and catch them off guard. They will be delighted and slowly over time the negative relationship with these foods will start improving.
Better still, serve them with a meal rather than after a meal. Over time you will see that they start eating more vegetables without any extra effort. It’s all about building a positive relationship with different types of foods.
2. Increase fluid intake
Sometimes the reason for your child craving sugary foods can be due to inadequate fluid intake and certain deficiencies like magnesium, calcium, iron, etc. Taking care and correcting the above can also help.
3. Change your language
From a young age our children hear us talking a certain language hen it comes to fruit and vegetables, and sugar. We brand the former as healthy and the latter as unhealthy. It’s time to change our language about these. Start talking more neutral, and focus more on the properties of the foods. The second thing to do is to stop offering them as rewards and associating special importance to them. Make them equivalent to fruits and vegetables and while talking your tone should be neutral. Do not react if they want second helpings or want to eat a dessert out of turn. This will ensure that over time these foods will lose the importance and become less special.
4. Swap healthy and natural sugars for refined sugars
It has become easier to source desserts, cookies, etc. with natural sugars like coconut sugar, dates, etc. nowadays. Look out for brands that make these and order from them. One such brand is KARAMELE that is based in New Delhi. You can also try experimenting in the kitchen yourself with these, the internet is full of tutorials and recipes.
I hope the above helps you. To know more or if you need further help get in touch with me, Kanupriya Khanna, one of the best Dietitian and Nutritionist in Delhi.

How to improve your digestion? | Dr Kanupriya Khanna
Tumblr media
The human digestive system is responsible for providing the body with all vital vitamins, fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids that help in keeping the cells functioning. But our digestive system is very complex, even small negligence towards our digestive system can put us on the verge of having digestion problems. Some occasional digestion problems are constipation, heartburn or reflux, nausea and vomiting, bloating, etc.
So, it becomes very important to take care of our digestive system to have a healthy life. You can do it by following some precautions and making small changes in your daily lifestyle.
Tips to improve your digestion
Staying hydrated
It is very important to maintain an adequate amount of water level in your body. Although there is no fixed quantity of water intake as it differs from one person to another, on average drinking around 2–3 liters of water, every day is recommended.
If you find it difficult to drink enough water daily, you can try other water-based options like herbal teas, coconut water and infused water. Fruits and vegetables rich in fluid like tomatoes, cucumber, watermelons, and oranges should also be consumed.
Managing Stress
During stress, your body releases some stress hormones like corticosteroids and adrenaline which indirectly affect your digestive system. Therefore proper management of stress is very important to save yourself from digestive issues.
It can be done by:
-Doing some yoga or exercise daily.
-Doing meditation
-listening to music
– Good quality and quantity of sleep
Eating fiber-rich foods
Consuming a high-fiber diet like vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, and whole grains can reduce your chances of constipation. It not only helps you in improving your digestion but also helps in maintaining a healthy weight, managing cholesterol and blood sugar levels of your body.
Chewing food properly improve Digestion
Proper chewing of food breaks down the food into smaller pieces thereby improving digestion and subsequently absorption of nutrients.
Considering lifestyle habits
Unhealthy lifestyle habits that can affect your gut include:
-Late-night eating: Eating your meal late at night and then instantly lying down to sleep causes heartburn and reflux. Therefore it is very important to avoid eating late at night. It also leads to weight gain.
-Alcohol and smoking: If you already have digestion issues and have a habit of smoking and drinking alcohol then you should know that it may create more risk of stomach ulcers and gastrointestinal cancers.
Lactose intolerance
Dairy products contain a natural sugar known as lactose. It is better to avoid lactose-based foods like milk and milk products if you are intolerant to it.
Limiting high-fat foods
To improve your digestion you must limit the foods that can trouble your stomach and digestive system. Avoiding soda and deep-fried foods (French fries, chips, fritters) can be of great help.
Taking gut bacteria-friendly foods improve digestion
Taking gut-friendly foods can also improve your digestion. These are also known as probiotics and prebiotics.
Probiotics are live bacteria that occur naturally in the food and are good for your digestion. Foods that contain probiotics naturally are Kefir, kimchi, yogurts, sauerkraut, etc.
Prebiotics are dietary fibers that allow the gut bacteria to produce nutrients for the colon cells leading to a healthier digestive system. Garlic, onions, bananas, and chicory roots are certain foods that are the source of prebiotic fiber for your body.
Spices and herbs
Some spices and herbs can help in improving digestion by stimulating the liver and activities of certain enzymes responsible for the digestion of food in your body. You can add spices and herbs like ginger, cardamom, turmeric, fenugreek, and various others to improve your digestion.

Foods To Control Hairfall
Tumblr media
Hair play a vital role in shaping our looks and personality. Many people with thinning hair or baldness, battle low self esteem and confidence. Thus, hair health is an important part of our overall well being.
There are many factors that affect hair health. Some of them are:
seasonal changes
foods we eat
presence of deficiencies
physical activity
genetics
Let us look at some of the most important foods that are responsible for improving hair growth and minimising un-natural hair fall:
EGGS
The two most important nutrients for hair are protein and biotin, which are abundant in eggs. Biotin is a compound that is essential for the formation of keratin, the main protein found in hair. Eggs also contain a good amount of selenium and zinc, which play an important role in healthy hair.
BERRIES
Berries are a powerhouse of vitamin C. This performs three very important roles in hair health:
it is a powerful antioxidant and prevents the hair follicles against damage from free radicals.
it is responsible for the production of collagen, a type of protein that makes the hair strong and prevents breakage.
it also helps in iron absorption in the body. Iron is also an important mineral for hair growth and health.
LEAFY GREENS
Leafy greens include dark green vegetables like spinach, rocket, collard greens, amaranth leaves, fenugreek, etc. As a group these are high in iron, vitamins A and C, and folate. All of this are important for the growth of our hair and prevent excessive hair fall.
NUTS &SEEDS
Many nuts and seeds are powerhouses of Vitamin E, omega 3 fatty acids, selenium and zinc, along with other micro nutrients. Some examples include: almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc. All of them provide a form of protection to our hair and improve the growth.
FATTY FISH
Fish like mackerel, salmon, herring, etc are known as fatty fish and they are a great source of omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D, selenium and protein. Research has shown that vitamin D deficiency can lead to excessive hair loss and therefore eating some amount of fatty fish in your diet is important. For vegetarians or vegans, they can get the same benefit from certain nuts and seeds like mentioned above.
AVOCADOS
Avocados are a great source of vitamin E which is a strong antioxidant and prevents free radical damage. Thus it plays an important role in controlling hair fall by making the hair follicles stronger.
Remember, that the foods you eat play a major role in the health of your hair. A deficiency or inadequate intake of many vitamins and minerals can lead to excessive hair fall or affect hair growth.

Healthy Eating With a Busy Schedule
Tumblr media
Healthy eating is essential for a healthy and active lifestyle, but it can be a challenge when you have a busy schedule. With work, family, and other commitments, it can be difficult to find the time to prepare nutritious meals.
Tips to make healthy eating a part of your life
•Plan ahead — One of the keys to success when it comes to eating healthy with a busy schedule is planning ahead. Make a meal plan for the week, and do your grocery shopping accordingly. Having a plan in place will help you to avoid the temptation of ordering take-out or grabbing unhealthy snacks when you’re short on time.
•Meal prep — Try preparing individual ingredients rather than completely assembled meals to maintain some variation in your meal preparation strategy. In this manner, you can combine them in various ways and maintain a sense of freshness throughout the week.
•Healthy snacks in hand — Having healthy snacks readily available can help you to avoid the temptation of junk food when you’re on the go. Keep a stock of fruit, nuts, and other healthy snacks in your office, car, or bag to munch on when you’re feeling hangry.
•Use of leftovers — When you’re pressed for time, having frozen or canned options on hand might be a lifesaver. These choices are just as nourishing and have the advantage of being less expensive and perishable.
•Time management — Make a note in your calendar or planner. Include time slots to remind yourself to have a snack or a meal if you are the type of person who loves to schedule everything on your agenda.
This reminder will make it easier for you to remember to eat even when you are rushing about or doing homework. After many hours of arduous work, taking a snack break will also assist you to relax and take a break.
•Use a slow cooker — Another useful appliance for those who are busy is a slow cooker. It allows you to start cooking dinner in the morning and having it ready when you get home from work because it keeps your food warm for hours (or more) after it has finished cooking. That saves so much time!
•Keep it simple — Maintain a simple, easy approach to meals, using the balanced plate concept as a nice overall dietary guideline. Aim to include portions of each food type at main meals that are roughly the size of a palm for protein-rich foods, a fist or less for starchy carbs, a few handfuls of vegetables, and a thumb for fat-rich foods. Meals may be less satisfying and nutritionally diverse if one or more of these ingredients are missing.
•Healthier choices in restaurants — Whenever you don’t have enough time to prepare a meal at home, you might be tempted to dine out. Make sure to finding and order a healthier option at the restaurant. It is simpler than you might imagine. Pick dishes that are mostly composed of veggies, healthful grains, and lean protein.
To make a balanced meal, think about including a variety of side dishes. Pay attention to the offered portion sizes as well. You shouldn’t feel pressured to consume the entire amount on the plate because quantities at restaurants are frequently too large for one person to consume. Consider sharing a meal with a friend, requesting a reduced serving, or putting half of the plate in a to-go box for later to prevent overeating.
•One pot wonders — Try making a one-pot dinner instead of using multiple bowls, pots, and utensils to create a meal! This simple meal method eliminates the need to plan what sides to prepare in addition to your main course because your single dish will have grains, vegetables, and protein. The oven or stove can do the majority of the job with quick prep, and cleanup is simple.
•Pack lunch — Packing your lunch is an excellent way to control what you eat, and it can save you a lot of money compared to eating out. Make sure to include plenty of fruits, veggies, and lean protein in your lunch, and try to steer clear of processed foods, sugary drinks, and high-fat snacks.
•Be flexible — Always be flexible when it comes to eating properly. Do not punish yourself if you err and choose a bad course of action. Just resume your food plan again.
Eating healthy with a busy schedule takes a little bit of planning and preparation, but it’s well worth the effort. By following these tips, you can ensure that you’re fueling your body with the nutrients it needs, even when you’re short on time.

Pregnancy diet: foods to eat and avoid - Kanupriya
A healthy pregnancy diet is essential for both mom and baby because what you eat and drink during your pregnancy is your little one’s primary source of nutrition. A pregnant woman’s diet includes a variety of foods and beverages to provide the essential nutrients that her baby requires for growth and development.
Here are a few tips that will guide you on what to eat and what to avoid to stay healthy throughout this beautiful journey.
What foods should you eat during pregnancy?
1. Vitamin C — Vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, strawberries, bell peppers, and broccoli, promote baby growth and iron absorption.
2. Iron-rich foods — Iron-rich foods like beans, lentils, green leafy vegetables, meat, and nuts & seeds, all help the mother’s body produce more blood for both mom and baby.
3. Calcium-rich foods — Calcium-rich foods such as pasteurized dairy products (yogurt, cow’s milk, and hard cheeses), as well as almonds, broccoli, and garbanzo beans, will aid in bone health and tooth development.
4. Omega-3s — Foods like oily fish, nuts like walnuts and seeds like flax, are some examples.
5. Protein — Protein is essential for your baby’s growth throughout pregnancy. Lean meat and eggs are great sources of protein. Other options include beans and peas, nuts, seeds, and soy products.
6. Water — When you’re pregnant, your body requires more water than usual to form amniotic fluid, produce extra blood, build new tissue, transport nutrients, improve digestion, and flush out wastes and toxins.
What foods should you avoid during pregnancy?
1. Unpasteurized dairy products — Avoid unpasteurized dairy products (soft cheeses and milk) and refrigerate ready-to-eat meats such as deli meat. These foods may contain bacteria that cause the foodborne illness listeriosis, which can cause flu-like symptoms, nausea, diarrhea, miscarriage, stillbirth, and preterm labor.
2. Raw seafood — Consuming raw seafood, such as sushi or raw oysters, raises the risk of salmonella, a foodborne illness that can cause fever, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramping, and diarrhea in pregnant women, as well as intrauterine sepsis in babies.
3. High-mercury fish — High mercury fish such as swordfish, orange roughy, and marlin can harm the mother’s nervous system and cause brain damage or hearing and vision problems in the baby.
4. Alcohol — During pregnancy, alcohol should be avoided. Alcohol has been shown to harm a baby’s growth and development.
5. Caffeine — If you consume too much caffeine during pregnancy, there’s an increased risk of abortion, fetal development problems, and low birth weight. Consuming more than 300 milligrams (mg) per day may hurt embryonic development. Caffeine can be found in a variety of foods and beverages other than coffee. Sodas, energy drinks, chocolate, and teas are some instances. A safe limit is 200–300mg per day.
6. Smoking — Smoking doubles the crisis of abnormal bleeding during pregnancy and delivery. This can put both you and your baby in trouble.
7. Processed foods — Consuming processed foods during pregnancy can increase your risk of gaining too much weight, developing gestational diabetes, and preclempsia.
8. Artificial Sweeteners — it is best to avoid artificial sweeteners while pregnant and stick to jaggery, palm sugar., coconut sugar, etc.
Takeaway
Keeping track of what you eat and how it affects your baby’s health will help you stay away from diseases in the long run.

Karamele Cakes | Karamele Bakery | Kanupriya Karamele | Kanupriya Bakery
Karamele has its origins in Nutritionist and Dietician Kanupriya Khanna’s attempts to bring healthy desserts to family meals and gatherings. In due course she introduced these hand crafted desserts to her patients; it was her attempt to help them adopt a healthier lifestyle while satisfying their sweet cravings. Today Karamele has grown from just healthy desserts to include breads, cookies, granolas and ice creams in their range.
At Karamele, care reigns supreme and so all food items are manufactured and packed in-house. Every aspect of the overall process is personally supervised by Kanupriya herself.
The Karamele range of products can also be pre-ordered to be vegan.
Using quinoa flour, walnut four, oats flour, almond flour, nuts and seeds; Karamele ensures that these mouthwatering delights are rich in protein, iron, calcium, fibre and antioxidants.
All products are free of eggs, refined sugar, maida, artificial colours, preservatives and flavourings.
So whether one is trying to lose weight, just live a healthy life or cope with dietary restrictions; Karamele is here to help each one’s efforts.
A trained nutritionist and dietitian, my journey of working with dietary restrictions started in 2000 when my mother was diagnosed with gluten and dairy intolerance. When my daughter was one year old, I discovered that she was allergic to certain foods including eggs, berries, yeast, etc. My son too was born with food allergies and this meant that I started baking furiously for them so that they could indulge safely. I experimented with alternate flours and natural sugars. Soon I was bringing healthy desserts to my family meals and gatherings.
In due course I introduced these hand crafted desserts to my patients.
Today, Karamele has grown from just healthy desserts to include breads, cookies, granolas, donuts and more.
We ensure that our mouthwatering delights are rich in protein, iron, calcium, fibre and antioxidants. All our products are free from eggs, refined sugar, maida/atta, artificial colours, preservatives and flavourings.
