easy to make but are also very tasty. We will also discuss the best time to consume them so that you can get maximum benefit from them. So without any further delay, let’s get started.
Collagen is a protein because of which our skin feels soft and elastic. Our body produces collagen naturally but as we age, the amount and quality of collagen begins to fall. It is due to low collagen that our skin gets lose and wrinkled in old age.
However, sometimes even in a young age collagen reduces. And there are some scientifically proven reasons behind it. The first and most damaging is the regular intake of tobacco and alcohol.
Second is when we don’t protect our skin from the sun’s harsh rays which are present between 11 AM and 4 PM. Excessive intake of refined sugar is known to break down collagen which leads to fast ageing of our skin. Then all that junk food which is highly processed and refined takes away a lot from your skin.
If you focus on the things that are reducing your collagen, you don't even need to know what collagen is. need 3 things. First is amla.
To boost collagen the #1 nutrient required is vitamin C. And we all know that amla is the richest source of vitamin C. So much so that the vitamin c present in 20 oranges is present in just 1 amla.
And its not just vitamin c but the high number of antioxidants amla that repair the skin. Amla is amazing we all know this. The only problem with it is that it's too tangy.
However in this juice recipe it won’t just give you benefits but will also act as a taste enhancer. Second ingredient is beetroot. When your skin looks rough and pigmented from the outside, its actually getting inflamed from within.
Stress or poor food habits, inflammation of the skin is a root problem behind skin problems. Which is why beetroot juice being anti inflammatory is no less than a medicine. Beetroots are also rich in betalains that increase the blood flow in the skin tissue.
No wonder beetroot is considered a top food to increase blood count. Third ingredient that you would need is carrot. Carrots are rich in caretonoids, lycopene and zinc which are natural collagen boosters.
The anti ageing effect of carrots has been well documented. Prefer red carrots to make this juice. If they are not in the season, go ahead with the orange ones.
Now to make the juice take 1-2 carrots, half beetroot is enough and 1 amla. Add water. To sweeten it further use jaggery or jaggery powder.
Then grind it properly. You can strain to get the juice. This juice is not only tasty but amazingly healthy for the body.
Not just collagen, if you are low on hemoglobin, or you want to increase your eyesight or control your blood pressure drink it daily for 30 days. In fact in north India, this juice is easily available at every juice corner in winter. You can tie up with a juice corner and drink this daily.
Within 15 days, you will be able to see a difference in your skin. If you are still skeptical, checkout the comments of people who have already benefited from this juice. Its worth trying.
Next is a Multivitamin Drnk (Sketch) Often it is seen that people who begin to take care of their health, start taking a multivitamin tablet. It's not their fault but the supplement industry is so active that it almost convinces us that something will go wrong with our bodies if we don’t pop a multivitamin pill. Of course, your body needs nutrition but it doesn’t need that multivitamin tablet.
Yes, that multivitamin tablet whose source of vitamins and minerals has been hidden from you. That multivitamin tablet whose 80% contents body pees out. That’s because there are no strict regulations in this sector and more than often companies add fake ingredients.
Shockingly, a study shows that people who take daily multivitamins die early. So it's high time that we begin trusting the real foods. Allow me to share with you a drink for which you will need 5 ingredients.
And each of these ingredients is a superfood in itself. In a bowl put 4 almonds, 6 cashews and 2 teaspoons of pumpkin seeds. Add sufficient water to soak them.
Then in another bowl, add 2 deseeded dates and soak them as well. Let them soak overnight or for at least 4 hours. Remove the skin of the almonds and then add them in a blender minus the water.
Yes, the water in which nuts and seeds are soaked should be discarded. While the dates water will be used. This was the prime reason we had soaked them separately.
To this add 1 ripe banana. Blend it to make a smoothie. This drink has the nutrition of almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds dates and banana.
Each of these foods are so nutrient dense that 1 video is not enough to describe all their benefits. Even scientific studies are backing up their amazing health benefits. (I always wanted to include pumpkin seeds in my diet.
This drink made it so easy. ) This will not only serve as a natural multivitamin but Taste wise this milk less milk shake can beat most milk shakes in the market. This drink will increase your memory power, it will keep your heart healthy, improve your sperm quality, make your hair stronger, it will also help you cut that extra fat.
(yes, I got that this drink is great for us. But when is the right time to drink it? ) It can become your morning drink.
You can have it as a breakfast. You can also have it in between the meals or any other time of day before sunset. Rich in biotin, magnesium, potassium, copper, selenium, vitamin e and countless other micronutrients its an apt replacement to that multivitamin pill.
Finally the protein drink Protein is an important macronutrient for various reasons. First, protein is essential for the daily repair of the body. This is why people who work out or play sports need more protein.
Second, protein is a macronutrient that is slowly digested. As a result, every time you eat a protein-rich meal you feel full for longer. More filling means fewer chances of unwanted food munching.
Your hair and nails are all made up of protein. So eating a diet with a good amount of protein keeps them strong. Often when we hear the benefits of protein the first thing that comes to our mind is "Should I buy a protein powder?
Well, for more than 80% of people, the straight answer is no. That's because most people are sitting for most of the day. Even if they work out, they don't have serious body-building goals.
A normal person like you and me should definitely eat protein-rich foods like paneer, curd, rajma chane and peanuts but we don't need protein powder. That's because more protein is needed only when a lot of new cells are being formed in the body. This is true for a growing child, a pregnant mother or an athlete.
For most of us 40-60 grams of protein per day is good enough. And what's even more shocking is that consuming too much protein is more harmful than not consuming enough. High-protein diets have been linked to increased kidney failure cases in the past decade.
So, let’s get back to basics and eat that protein powder that has been tried and tested for generations. The humble chana sattu. When black chana is roasted, all its gas forming anti nutrients are killed and you get this crunchy snack called bhuna chana.
When this bhuna chana is powdered, its called chana sattu. This chana sattu which is not only high in protein but is also rich in fibre, iron, calcium, magnesium and folate. When in between the meals you feel hungry, don’t reach out to that 70 Rs protein bar.
Just drink this 7 Rs drink and you will get good 10 grams of protein. What’s even better is that channa sattu can be enjoyed both sweet and savoury. To make it sweet, take 50 grams of chana sattu, mix water and jaggery powder it in it and give it a good mix.
For the savoury version, take 50 grams of chana sattu, mix water, add rock salt, black salt, bhuna jeera and lemon juice. Give it a good stir and its ready. ((Chana sattu has protein we know.
But do you know that it is also high in carbohydrates. For fat loss we should cut down our carbohydrate intake. ) Yes, it has more carbs than protein but what kind of carbs?
Complex carbs that don't spike the sugar and keep you full for longer. Plus have you stopped eating carbs altogether? For fat loss we should cut down those refined carbohydrates from maida and sugar.
If you drink chana sattu, naturally you will eat less the whole day. (Whey protein scoop has hardly 150’calories. Whereas your chana sattu has almost 400 calories.
) When it comes to macronutrients chana sattu and whey protein are incomparable. But note that chana sattu is a real whole food whereas whey protein is an industrialised product. Whey protein is so sweet still it has so less calories.
Why? Because it has that zero calorie artificial sweetener which is worse than sugar. That chocolate flavour of whey protein is also artificial.
Just 1 scoop of whey protein will cost you Rs 100 but in 100 Rs you can get 1 kg of chana sattu. (Chana sattu is plant based so it is not a complete source of protein) See when we combine two vegetarian food sources let’ say you eat dal chawal or dal roti, you get all the 9 essential amino acids. So unless you are drinking only sattu the whole day, you need not worry about complete or incomplete protein.
Think of a horse's stamina, what does he eat? Chana. Think of elephant’s strength.
What does he eat? Grass. So vegetarian protein is way more than what we are made to believe it is.
(I have serious muscle building goals. 10 gram chana sattu drink is not enough for me. ) Well, if your workout is at that level then post workout in 50 grams of channa sattu add 1 glass of milk, add a couple of dates to sweeten it and blend it to make a shake.
This will give you good 20 grams of protein. Overall, chana sattu is versatile, nutritious yet an underrated protein drink. A diet with balanced nutrition protects your hair.
Another thing that helps grow hair faster is a rosemary based hair serum. But most commercial hair serums in the Indian market have many harsh chemicals in them which rather damage the hair follicles. Which is why mamaearth’s rosemary hair growth scalp serum is a better option.
Better because if you check its ingredients you will find that it has no silicones, no artificial fragrance, no mineral oil and no cosmetic colours. Rather it is a blend of hair friendly herbs like sprouted peas, basil, rosemary and fenugreek with glycerin and safe chemicals. While using it put 2-4 drops of this serum directly on the scalp and give yourself a light massage.
You can apply it daily. To buy this effective and toxin free rosemary hair serum click on the link in the description box. Do not forget to apply the special discount coupon to get 21% off.
