BreakfastAfter waking up from long hours of sleep our body needs energy and to gain it we have to take proper food. Breakfast is the first and most important step of the day that should not be skipped for any reason.
In breakfast, seasonal fruit is a must-include for everyone. Fruits should always be eaten before a heavy breakfast as they are digested very quickly. Eating fruit after breakfast delays digestion.
Whether it is winter or summer in India, paratha is very common for breakfast. But in winter, it becomes more popular and the taste of having it with milk tea is fabulous. Paratha is made of wheat flour that contains carbs, protein and a good amount of fiber. To make it healthy ghee or butter can be used in little quantities to fry it. Stuffing can be done with any vegetable. Hot parathas fresh from the pan are great in winter.
There are many options available for breakfast in India that are very popular and effective to give warmth in winter. Dosa, Poha, Idli, Appam, Vermicelli, Upma, Dhokla and Sabzi Chilla are categorized in the healthy breakfast menu. They all have their own nutritional value.
On the other hand, oatmeal also can be a great breakfast option for winter. In America, oatmeal is quite famous, loved and preferred. I personally believe that breakfast should be so filling, tasty and sufficient that we don’t need much more food in the afternoon and it should be the largest meal of the day. Oatmeal has it all. It is healthy, filling, tasty and most importantly perfect for winter.
So many breakfast option is available around the world that are delicious as well as filling that keeps your body warm throughout the winter season. But in America pancake, egg white, french toast, sandwich, fruit salad, oatmeal is preferred for the breakfast in winter.
Some popular winter breakfasts from all around the world are croissants, congee, dumplings, gozleme, muesli, burritos, cornflakes, herb quiche, doughnuts, casseroles, waffles, muffins, sauteed vegetables, omelet, and the list is endless.
Effective Afternoon Routine
Lunch
In the rush of the busyness of our life taking lunch on time became hard but it is very important. If you are a working man or woman, homemaker, artist, entrepreneur, or anything then you need proper lunch to stay energetic throughout the day.
But yes, lunch should be lighter than breakfast because it is very difficult to work with overfullness and sometimes you feel sleepy with a full stomach, so it is better to eat less at this time. For a lighter and more active day, you have so many ideas for lunch like simple rice with curry, rice and dal, chapati and curry with vegetable salad, khichri and many more if you are living in India.
But if you are staying in some place where the weather is too cold then stew, soupy noodles, pasta, lasagna, sizzler, burger etc will be a great lunch menu.
Food should be filled with every element like protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, fats, water, and carbohydrates. For an effective healthy life creating a balanced diet is very important. If any element is taken in excess, it also harms the body.
Effective Evening Routine
Evening WalkEvening walking has a lot of health benefits but if you are staying in a place where winter is harsh and evening walking is a Big No then 30 minutes of walk in treadmill can be an alternate option. Walking for a few minutes will boost your metabolism and you will feel very active. If you have back pain or leg pain then also it will help in reducing the pain. To keep your body warm, healthy and to lose weight few minutes of walking or jogging is quite effective.
Evening DrinkDrinking something hot is a great idea on a chilling winter evening. What will be more delicious and aromatic rather than Coffee? Coffee is a very common and popular drink all around the world. Caffeine present in the coffee keeps the body warm. If you don’t like the smell of coffee then you can always have a fantastic alternative called Hot Chocolate.
Just a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and your favorite book in your hand is enough to make your winter evening amazing.
But if you don’t like any one of them then a cup of simple hot cow milk or green tea can be a great healthy winter evening drink.
Evening Snacks
We always crave some snacks in the evening. But snacks can be sometimes very unhealthy if we take anything deep-fried or sugar-coated item. So if we look for a healthy snack which can be also a quick recipe then roasted dry fruit is a great idea. They have a really great taste and are rich in nutrients, proteins, vitamins, dietary fibers, and minerals with lots of benefits.
Effective Night Routine
DinnerLight dinner always gives you a perfect sleep. The lightest meal of the day is dinner. Soup, stew, noodle soup, dumplings, salad or anything light is always preferable.
Before sleeping a glass of warm water or warm milk is very good for sound sleep. Switching off all the electrical equipment and keeping them away is a good idea for disturbance-free sleep.
