Healthy Juice Tips

-

1st I’m making it very clear that I’m not a health professional / nutrition/dietitian. 

I write tips here based on what I learnt from professionals.

People with some health conditions can’t consume some fruits. So kindly follow the guidance given by your doctor/nutrition/dietitian. 

In summer most of us consume juice. Here are a few tips to make/have a healthy juice along with a few pieces of information about juice.

No doubt that consuming fresh fruits as a whole or in pieces has more health benefits and contains fiber.

Here the juice I meant is fresh homemade juice using fresh fruits.

Tips for a making healthy juice

1.     1st important thing is to know the sugar content and calories of the fruit. If it’s high in both or in any 1. Then watch out for the portion size you consume.

2.     Mainly, elders and people with pre-diabetic or diabetic conditions and people who are in weight loss, all these category people should mainly watch out for the portion size they consume.

3.     Don’t add any kind of sweeteners to your juice. Not even honey too. Because fruits by themselves have sugar in the name of fructose.  So, adding additional sugar will spike your glucose level only.

4.     use a big mesh strain to strain that juice and using a spoon squeeze/ press the pulp well so that the pulp will also get filtered and mixed with the juice. Only any seeds/ skin/ rough particles should be thrown away as waste.

5.     Straining like this will help us retain all the nutrients and some amount of fiber as well. Because pulp also has nutrients and fiber. 

6.     Apart from the summer season, the juice has been advised to consume mainly by people facing digestive issues. and people who are unwell.  

7.     Juice helps our body in absorbing all the essential vitamins and minerals in an easy way for people who are unwell and facing digestive issues.

8.     Consuming juice on a daily basis even without adding any kind of sugar will also lead to diabetes, because of the fructose molecular present in it.

9.     As the saying says “Too much of anything is bad” Consume juice in minimal quantity and not on daily basis.

Importance of Pre-marital counselling

The below information is again shared by my friend Usha. who is an emerging life coach. I personally felt this topic is very much important and needed in the present world. It’s always better to get tips/advice from a relevant professional, who is generally non-judgmental. It’s a fact that only if we live with that person in person we will know who the real he (or) she is. Then why this Pre-marital counselling if you ask, it will give you a better picture of whether this person is ok to live with in person (or) not. And help guide us in many more things about a married life.   Importance of Pre-marital counselling: 1.        As the name indicates, it’s before one gets married.   Men and women have different physical and emotional needs.   They are generally happy and a bit curious to explore the institution called marriage. 2.      Marriage is an important event in life. It’s a lifelong commitment. However, it has many aspects which many people are not aware of unless they

  1st I express my sincere heartfelt thanks to my friend Usha . She is an emerging life coach. It’s so sweet for her to agree on sharing her knowledge about psychologists/psychiatrists/counselling. I asked five basic questions to her about psychologists/psychiatrists/counselling. Which may be helpful in clarifying the doubt that the common people may have. Question & answer: 1.        Is counselling meant only for people with mental illness?  Ans : It’s a myth that counselling is only for people with mental illness.  It actually helps people optimize their well-being. We humans are social and it’s very necessary for us to have beautiful relations with other fellow human beings.  We can approach a counsellor/coach anytime when we feel stuck and feel we are unable to achieve what we aspire in life.   2.      What a person can expect from a counsellor/ life coach when they approach them? Ans: When we approach a counsellor/coach, we can feel that we are heard.  That there is someone w

 As I reached the 45th recipe in my blog, I wish to share my gratitude to all the people who had kept supporting me and sharing their valuable comments/ feedback.    Above all this, I wish to share my very special gratitude to the below-mentioned four people. Today if I could say I have a passion for cooking it’s only because of the four people I mentioned below. By seeing them only I got an interest in cooking.  From my childhood, till now I had been admiring their cooking skills/ taste. I'm grateful to the four people for inspiring me with their kitchen skills. People who are close to me will know that I like feeding people. I developed this quality by seeing them.   1st my Mother from whom I was inspired and learnt how to make cooking fast and also how to cook with the limited/given utensil. She never made me feel that cooking is a big task. During my school days, I remember within 30 -40 minutes she will prepare lunch and breakfast for me. The highlight of this is that she ne
