Resolution No. 4

In continuation of our Twelve resolutions today we will share Resolution No. 4.

                    I will have Curd daily and a glass of milk before sleeping at night.

This resolution is divided into two parts.

                                                                                      Part I – Having Curd Daily

Curd isn’t just a delectable food, it is also nutritious, and consuming it regularly may boost several aspects of your health. Also known as ‘Dahi’ in the Hindi language or yogurt, it is made by boiling milk and cooling it to 30 to 40 degrees Celsius and adding a spoonful of curd. Yogurt is a popular fermented dairy food consumed widely across the world for hundreds of years. Curd has been found to boost our health in a surprising number of ways, from reducing the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis to aiding in weight management.

Unlike its more glamorous dairy cousins – cheese, ice-cream, and flavored yogurt – curd has been a staple of most Indian diets and hence, much ignored. Curd has a number of health and nutritional benefits, and eating curd every day helps your system stay cool, improves your digestive system, and helps get rid of stomach problems.

If you have a cold or cough, you can still have curd if it is not sour. Do not refrigerate curd in that case, it tastes pretty decent even if it is at room temperature.

Who doesn’t love curd? Be it with a yummy, steaming paratha or as buttermilk (chaas), the curd is often quite a staple in most Indian households. But did you know this versatile dish has a number of health benefits too? Yes, here’s how curd helps you stay healthy.

About 100 grams of fat has 98 calories. The nutritional value of curd is as follows fat (4.3 gram), Carbohydrate (3.4 gm), Protein (11gm), Cholesterol (17mg), Sodium (364 mg), and Potassium (104mg). It also contains vitamins A, D, B-12, Riboflavin, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Curd is one of the best sources for calcium.

Myths about eating Curd ( Yogurt ) –

Myth #1 – All Yogurt is healthy: Not all yogurt is healthy. Some are downright disgusting and contains more sugar than doughnuts. Some yogurt is full of additives, colors, and gums to thicken it and are best avoided altogether.

Myth #2  – All Yogurt contains beneficial Probiotics:  Many yogurts are heated during the manufacturing or shipping process and no longer contain the “live cultures” they claim to on the label.

Myth #3 –  Even People Who are Lactose-Intolerant or Allergic to Dairy Products can Eat Yogurt: Because the cultures turn the milk sugar lactose into lactic acid, some people who are lactose intolerant can eat yogurt without digestive distress. Anyone with a full-blown allergy to dairy products will still have an immune response to dairy yogurt and needs to avoid it altogether.

Myth #4 – Does Yogurt cause cold: Yogurt does have a cooling effect on the body, but it does not cause a cold. Only a virus can do that.

Myth #5 – Eating curd can aggravate Cold:  According to different investigations the consumption of milk, Curd, or other dairy products does not seem to exacerbate the symptoms of cold or Asthma. Therefore, Common Cold does not get worsened by eating Curd.

                                                             

                                             Part II of resolution no 4.

Having Milk before sleeping at night                  

As we all know, milk is rich in nutrients ( see Chart ) it is also a Power House of Nutrients that we need in order to stay healthy. This dairy product is rich in calcium, which is necessary for our bones and teeth health.

Milk and other dairy products contain an amino acid (which helps induce sleep) known as tryptophan. Milk also contains melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. If you’re stressed and can’t seem to get your zzz’s, a full glass of milk might be the trick to keeping that 8-hour sleep routine.

It is proved that poor sleep is one of the most common causes of weight gain and many other health
problems. It means that quality sleep is of crucial importance for our health. Ideally, milk should be consumed three hours before going to bed. Never go to sleep immediately after drinking milk because it may lead to acidity.

Milk will have a great impact on your sleep habits and it will help you fall asleep much easier. Also, if you drink a cup of warm milk at night, you will sleep deeply and you will not wake up over the night. It has an amino acid that will help us sleep. Tryptophan will convert to serotonin, which is known as the hormone of pleasure and a good mood. It is known that serotonin will increase the amount of melatonin in the body. Melatonin is a hormone that is responsible for good sleep. It will calm your nerves and it will help you relax.

                                                                          Pros and Cons of Drinking Milk at Night

Pros of drinking milk at bedtime

Pros #1 – Aids in good sleep : Scientists researched to find out that milk has tryptophan, which is an amino acid, and is responsible for inducing sleep. Research has also proved that when Tryptophan is released in the brain, it produces serotonin, which is a serenity boosting neurotransmitter. Therefore in many cases, it is found to help fight insomnia as well.

Pros #2 – Keeps the body warm : Warm milk makes the body warm. Thus when the temperature of the body is raised the muscles get relaxed and this condition slows down the responses of the body and induces sleep.

Pros #3 – Soothes disturbed stomach or Digestive System : Warm milk coats the stomach and soothes it. If a person suffers from mild peptic or ulcers, milk may ease and give a relieving feeling.

Pros #4 – Keeps you full for a long period of time : Children sleep off well when their stomach is full. This is true with adults also. So when milk is taken at night after food, it gives a sense of content and keeps you full throughout the night.

Pros #5 – Comfortable Sleep : People drinking warm milk at night gives psychological comfort and thus may help you to relax and have good sleep at night.

Pros #6 – Heart disease : The men with the greater consumption of milk experienced a reduction in the risk of ischaemic [inadequate blood flow] stroke and a possible reduction in ischaemic heart disease risk.

Pros #7 – Lactose intolerance :  Individuals vary in their degree of lactose intolerance, but even children and teenagers with primary lactose intolerance can usually consume 8 to 12 ounces (1 to 1.5 cups) of milk without experiencing symptoms.

Pros #8 – Cancer : Milk is rich in Vitamin D and boosting vitamin D status can affect the overall risk of cancer.

Pros #9 – Weight Loss : Research indicates that consuming more calcium in the diet – particularly from calcium-rich dairy foods – can speed up weight loss and reduce body fat, particularly abdominal fat. Consuming Milk appears to help prevent body weight and fat gain in children and adults.

Pros #10 – Controlled eating : Drinking a glass of milk at breakfast and before bedtime prevents unhealthy snacking and the cravings for food at night.

Cons of Drinking Milk at Night

Cons #1 Difficult to Digest : Warm milk at night is many times not easy to digest and may lead to a bloating stomach and gas conditions which may make you uncomfortable and may drive off sleep. It can also be heavy for people with a weak digestive system as it has a lot of nutrients and minerals.

Cons #2 – Triggers Allergies : Some studies have shown that if you have a milk allergy, your immune system will start overreacting to proteins in the milk. Allergies are known to show up more rapidly at night hours and can lead to rashes, fever, hives, swelling, and itching.

One additional reason for you to drink milk if you have kids is that you as a parent, are setting an example for them. So drink a glass of milk before bedtime as from today to your health.

Myths about having Milk 

Myth #1 – Drinking Milk leads to weight gain. If you want to reduce weight then don’t drink milk :  It is always good to consider milk as part of your daily diet because; it provides valuable macronutrients (Protein, Fat & Carbohydrates) as well as micronutrients (Vitamin A, C, D, B Vitamins, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium & Zinc).

Myth #2 – There is no harm in drinking unlimited milk : Too much quantity of anything is bad. Milk contains D-galactose, which has been shown to induce oxidative stress damage and chronic inflammation that further leads to heart disease, bone loss, muscle loss & cancer.

Myth #3 – Flavored milk is not healthy as plain milk : It totally depends on artificial sweeteners and colors added to flavored milk. If it’s loaded with too many artificial sweeteners and colors, better to avoid it. You can try and make smoothies instead which is a healthier option.

Myth #4 – We should avoid milk during cough & cold  : Avoid taking plain milk in case of cough and cold as it may make phlegm thicker and more irritating to your throat. Turmeric mixed in warm milk is a popular and effective way to fight against cold and cough. Drinking a glass of warm turmeric milk before sleep helps in faster recovery from cold and cough.  

Myth #5 – Don’t drink milk at night as it might disturb your sleep : It’s good to have a glass of milk as it helps to induce sound sleep because of the amino acid known as tryptophan and melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep.

Myth #6 – Don’t give milk to a child with a fever, the milk will curdle (or some other variant) :  As long as your child is not vomiting, milk is a perfectly acceptable fluid to give your febrile child. In fact, it is superior to plain water if your child is refusing to eat, which is very typical of a child with a fever. Fevers take away appetites. So if your child stops eating while she is sick, at least she can drink some nutrition. Children with fevers need extra hydration anyway.

Myth #7 – You can’t overdose a child on milk : While milk is healthy and provides necessary calcium and vitamin D, too much milk can be a bad thing. drinking all that extra milk is bad for teeth (all milk contains sugar) and can also lead to obesity from excessive calories.

Myth #8 – Milk decreases risk of diabetes : Researchers have concluded that Milk may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes in middle-aged or older women.

Myth #9 – Raw milk is more nutritious than pasteurized milk : Raw milk is not more nutritious and can pose serious health risks.

 

In continuation of our Twelve resolutions today we will share Resolution No. 3.

                   3. I will reduce salt intake ( half quantity ) from my food.

Our bodies need a little bit of salt to survive, but the amount we eat is far more than we require. Salt puts up our Blood Pressure (BP), Raised Blood Pressure (hypertension) is the major factor in strokes, heart failure and heart attacks, a major cause of death and disability worldwide.  There is also increasing evidence of a link between our current high salt intake and stomach cancer, osteoporosis, obesity, kidney stones and kidney disease.

Supportive evidence on the adverse effects of excess sodium intake on BP comes from animal studies, migration studies, ecologic studies, longitudinal observational studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses of trials. The best available evidence strongly supports a direct relationship between sodium intake and elevated BP – on an average, as sodium intake increases, so does BP.

Most people eat too much salt without even realizing it. This is because up to 80% of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy, including bread, cereal and cakes. In the majority of countries around the world, only a small amount of salt is added at the table or during preparation.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that we eat not more than 5g of salt a day, which is about a teaspoon.  Foods don’t necessarily have to taste salty to be salty.

We acquire a taste for salt and, over time, get used to a certain amount in our diets. If you cut back drastically and suddenly, you may at first find that your food tastes bland. However, flavor doesn’t only come from salt. Fresh and dried herbs, spices, black pepper, chili and lemon are all great ways to add flavor. So while you reduce the amount of salt you eat, substitute it with these other flavor enhancers and you won’t notice the loss as much. It only takes 3 weeks for our taste buds to adapt and become more sensitive to salt, so you get the same flavor impact from less salt.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that fancier types of salt are better for you. Whether it’s pink, black, rock, crystal or flakes, they still have the same effect on your blood pressure as standard table salt. Although less refined salts might contain more nutrients than everyday table salt, these will probably only be in very small amounts and can be sourced from other foods in your diet.

       Why Salt is bad for your health :

1. Blood Pressure
2. Stroke
3. Coronary Heart Disease
4. Stomach Cancer
5. Osteoporosis
6. Obesity
7. Kidney Stones and Kidney Diseases
8. Vascular Dementia
9. Water Retention
10. Asthma
11. Meniere’s Disease
12. Diabetes

Portion and Serving Sizes

Where portion sizes are given, see if it is how much you are actually eating.  E.g if a portion is stated as half of a product (e.g. pizza), but you eat the whole product, you will need to multiply the provided salt content by 2.

      Practical Tips :-

• Cook at home.You can control how much salt you use when you cook and eat meals at home.
• Shop smart.Buy lower sodium version of packaged goods.
• Eat more fresh whole foods.Eating more vegetables, fruits and other nutritious foods prepared from scratch will provide more nutrients, such as potassium which is beneficial to your blood pressure.
• Explore other seasonings.Salt isn’t your only option. You can brighten flavors with freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice, and create a pop on your palate with balsamic or wine vinegars. Or add some heat with fresh hot peppers or red pepper flakes.
• Choose unprocessed or minimally processed foods. Canned, processed, and frozen foods are often loaded with added salt.
• Read labels and choose lower-sodium products. When you do buy processed foods, choose items where the sodium content is less than or equal to the calories per serving.
• Know where hidden sodium lurks. Some of the highest-sodium foods that are common in our diet includes : Pizza, white bread, processed cheese, hot dogs, spaghetti with sauce, ham, ketchup, cooked rice, and flour tortillas. Make these items a small part of your diet.
• When eating out, keep an eye on salt content. Some chain and fast-food restaurant items can top 5 to 6 grams of sodium per serving — about four times the healthy daily limit. Downsize your portions by skipping the super-size or sharing a dish, or try to find the lower-sodium choices (many franchises have nutritional information on their websites). When eating out, ask that your dish be prepared with less salt.
• Use your sodium “budget” wisely. Rather than spending your sodium allowance on salty snacks and heavily processed foods, use small amounts of salt to enhance the flavor of produce, whole grains, nuts and legumes, and other healthy ingredients.
• Train your taste buds. One study found that people enjoy lower-sodium foods almost as much as food with the common sodium overload. It is possible to shift your sense of taste to enjoy foods made with less sodium.
• Don’t be too concerned about the exact amount of salt you eat. The aim is to reduce the amount of salt you eat as much as possible, not to keep an exact tally of the amount you eat. (5 gms of salt a day is the maximum you should eat, and the less you eat the better.)
• The best approach is to try to always eat  foods with the lowest salt level.
• At first, food without salt can taste bland, but don’t give up. It’s just the same as giving up sugar in tea. After a few weeks your taste buds will adjust and you will start to enjoy food with less salt. In fact, you’ll wonder how you ever ate food that was so salty!

Seven Salty Myths :-

Myth #1 – Eliminate sodium completely for good health : Sodium is an essential nutrient that controls Blood pressure and is needed to make nerves and muscles work properly, but you need the right amount.

Myth #2 – Sea salt has less sodium than table salt : Sea salt is possibly more popular, but it usually isn’t any less salty. Just like table salt, it typically contains 40% sodium.

Myth #3 – I usually don’t salt my food, so I don’t eat too much sodium : Approximately  about 75% of sodium is estimated to come from processed food – not the salt shaker.

Myth #4 – High levels of sodium are found only in food : Some over-the-counter medications contain high level of sodium. Carefully read drug labels.

Myth #5 – Lower sodium foods have no taste : There is a rich world of creative and flavorful alternatives to salt. Experiment with Spices, Herbs and Citrus to enhance the natural flavor  of your food.

Myth #6 – My Blood Pressure is normal, so I don’t need to worry about how much sodium I eat :  Researchers recommends  consuming less than 1.5 gms daily.  Even for people who don’t have high blood pressure, less sodium will significantly blunt the rise in blood pressure that occurs as we age and will also reduce the risk developing other conditions, Kidney diseases, associated with eating too much sodium.

Myth #7 – I don’t eat a lot of salty food so I don’t  eat too much sodium : Foods like Bread, Cheese, Poultry, Etc., can have excess sodium that can increase your risk for heart disease and stroke.

 

In continuation of our Twelve resolutions today we will share Resolution No. 2.

2. I will reduce at least one spoon of sugar from my daily routine every day.

Sugar is known to be not only addictive, but potentially dangerous. If you eat more sugar, the less ability you have to burn fat because your body is burning that sugar instead.

Don’t be alarmed—but something’s hiding in your food. From the cereal you had for breakfast to the dressing on your salad to the ketchup on your fries, an addictive substance is lurking in many foods that you’d never suspect.

Far more loathed than fat or cholesterol these days, sugar has become public enemy No. 1 when it comes to the health of India. In fact, in our effort to listen to doctors’ orders  to consume less fat and less cholesterol, Indians turned to “healthy” low-fat foods ( Sweets ) that were actually loaded with sugar.

In its natural state, sugar is a relatively harmless. It’s found in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products as a compound known as fructose or lactose. The problem comes when sugar is added to foods during processing for added flavor, texture, or color. Added sugar drives your insulin levels up, messes with your metabolism, and causes those calories to turn right into belly fat.

Fructose makes up 50% of table sugar and excessive consumption is believed to be one of the main causes of metabolic syndrome. Fructose has several properties that make it particularly unhealthy while eaten in high amounts. Fructose does not suppress appetite  as efficiently as glucose and may therefore promote overeating. Fructose has several properties ( like liver fat accumulation, Oxidative stress and overeating)  that make it particularly unhealthy when eaten in high amounts.

While losing weight is well and good, that’s just the beginning of the health benefits of cutting back on the sweet stuff. Avoid formation of sugar belly around you by reducing sugar intake since added sugars are known for contributing to Obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Simply put, reducing your intake of added sugar is one of the best things you can do for your health.

       Advantages of having less sugar :-

1. Lowers your blood pressure.
2. Lowers your cholesterol.
3. Decreases heart attack risk.
4. Causes weight loss.
