It is 14th of February and we thought of making a list that would make our Earth and your heart happy.
As you would have known by now, organic foods are good for your body due to higher levels of naturally present chemicals. If your diet has inorganic ingredients, your consumption of toxic chemicals increases- with pesticides, insecticides, and non-organic fertilisers. So why not eat or drink things that are good for your heart health and the Planet on a day about love?
Here are some of our top picks:
- Dark Chocolate, high in flavonoids reduce the risk of heart diseases. Availability of single-origin, sustainable, delicious chocolates in packaging you would love to save has made it the perfect choice as a gift too.
- Almonds, the nut that raises your good cholesterols, must definitely be added to your breakfast or snacks. Roast them, or dip them in dark chocolate, they will be heavenly healthy.
- Pomegranates, red and sweet like love, can also be a good choice of fruit if you want something light but healthy to eat, or drink its juice to improve your blood flow and keep your arteries from stiffening.
- Flax and Chia seeds, when consumed together, supply you with a range of nutrients. Due to the Omega-3 fatty acids, they do good to your heart.
- Yoghurt, containing potassium, a nutrient that is good for your health can be a dessert to your valentine’s dinner, just avoid the variants with too much sugar.
- Tofu, when organic, doubles up as a vegan choice, making its consumption all the better. Isoflavones in tofu are good for heart health.
- Spinach, welcoming you to spring, can also provide you a ton of nutrients like B-vitamins, fiber, omega-3s, and antioxidents. If you are in India, you might experiment with tofu and spinach as a vegan Palak-Paneer.
Add these foods to your life so you can continue loving them and yourself with each healthy heartbeat.
