What to eat and how much?
The healthy eating mantra is: eat well, not too much, mostly greens.
Your diet is balanced if it includes- protein (daal, lentils, tofu, beans), carbohydrates (rice, wheat, pasta, bread, fruits, milk), fats (oil, ghee), vitamins and minerals (fruits and green leafy vegetables). Portions sizes are often overestimated, especially for kids. The portion of proteins and carbs each should be limited to the size of the individual’s fist and the amount of fat to the size of one’s thumb, it’s really that simple! This applies to children too. It’s unfortunate that restaurants serving a healthy balanced mix of freshly prepared foods and the correct portions sizes are the ones that cost over $100 a meal. It’s called fine dining!
