Sources Of Fats

So what are the sources that impart healthy fat to your body?

1. Almonds, nuts and seeds: You must have never thought about it, but almonds, walnuts or cashew nuts are a very rich source of omega 3 fatty acids that are found in fish and are actually good for your health. They add to the good cholesterol level.

2. Plant Oils: Vegetable oil, olive oil, sunflower oil or canola oil are very rich and healthy source of fat in food. Use these oils whenever cooking though in a limited amount. You may also use a small spoonful or two in your salad dressing.

6. Avocados and olives: Yes, avocados and olives contain a good amount of mono-unsaturated fats. Have half an avocado per day. They are good for your heart and also improve your memory. The green soft flesh of avocado is rich in unsaturated fat. Mashed avocadoes as sandwich dressing, in salads or even raw with a pinch of salt and pepper, have it as you like.

7. Vegetables: Vegetables are generally fat-free. But cooking and frying them makes vegetables rich in fats which are unhealthy. Prepare veggies by baking brushing just a little olive oil, or you may also stir-fry veggies.

7 Dangerous acts after meal

Here are 7 things we should not do after meal:

1. Don’t smoke - Smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher)

2. Don’t eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air.

3. Don’t drink tea -Tea immediately after meal will cause gastric problems.


4. Don’t loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted and blocked.

5. Don’t bathe - Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs and other parts of the body 

6. Don’t walk about - Walking immediately after a meal will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.

7. Don’t sleep immediately - The food we intake will not digest properly if we sleep immediately. This will lead to gastric problems and infections in our intestine.

Just eating healthy vegetarian food is not enough. It is also important that we take care of what we do before and after meals and also the environment in which we eat. The ambiance in which we eat should be pleasant, soothing and relaxed. Also our thoughts during eating should be positive and relaxing.

When we take care of all the above factors it is only then that our body will derive maximum nutrition and energy from the food we eat.
