HEALTHY FOOD COMBINATIONS
BROWN RICE & PEAS
As we get older we lose lean muscle, which is a natural
metabolism booster that helps us burn calories. A good
way to maintain that beneficial muscle is to lift light weights and make sure
that between 25 and 30 percent of your calories comes from protein. Red meat
and poultry are great options, but they can contain a high amount of saturated
fat. Plant foods like rice are loaded with protein. But when eaten alone, many
of them lack a few of the essential amino acids needed for a complete protein.
Rice, for example, is low in the amino acid lysine. But peas, on the other
hand, are lysine-rich. Pairing rice and peas gives your body a healthy protein
boost.

Nuts and your Heart
Nuts
are calorie & fat dense. For an example- pistachios deliver 94 calories ,
3g protein, 8.5g fat per 15 gm which is
quite high when compared to cereals, pulses, fruits & vegetables. One
problem regarding nuts is that one can easily overeat them & thus posing a
risk to health. These
small-sized nutritional powerhouses are packed with heart-healthy fats,
protein, vitamins, and minerals.
"Most nuts contain at least some of these heart-healthy substance however the amount of these substances varies from nut to nut":
