Hey there, Symbians! Let’s talk about keeping your heart healthy—without giving up on your favorite desi foods. With heart issues on the rise in India, and the age threshold dropping lower and lower, it's time to make some smart, tasty choices that are good for your heart and super easy to add to your diet.
Swap your regular atta with ragi or jowar to level up your rotis. These grains are fiber-packed and help keep your cholesterol in check—goodbye, junk food guilt!
Supercharge your meals with palak (spinach) or methi (fenugreek). These greens help lower blood pressure and keep your heart strong. Plus, they taste amazing in sabzis!
Fruits like amla (Indian gooseberry) are rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, which improve heart function and reduce cholesterol. Pomegranates contain polyphenols that help reduce inflammation and protect the heart, while bananas, being rich in potassium, help manage blood pressure.
Munch on almonds and walnuts for that brain-boosting, heart-protecting omega-3 punch. Toss some flaxseeds into your smoothie for an extra health kick.
Love seafood? Grab some rohu or surmai for a heart-healthy dose of omega-3. Your heart will thank you!
A plate of dal, chana or rajma isn’t just tasty; it’s packed with protein and fiber that keep your cholesterol levels in check.
Adding turmeric and garlic to your food isn’t just tasty; it’s a heart-health bonus. These desi spices help reduce inflammation and cholesterol.
So, this World Heart Day, show your heart some love with these simple, everyday foods. It’s not just about avoiding junk; it’s about making smart, heart-healthy choices!
