''HAPPY NATIONAL NUTRITION WEEK'

Let's get back to our basic nutrition

TOPIC- '' DAL CHAWAL''

The simpler it sounds, the healthier it is.......

Hello everyone,

I am Abhilasha Sarraf, and I am a nutritionist. As we all know, September is the Poshan Month ......National Nutrition Month... Nutrition plays a very important role in every individual's life, but when it comes to school kids, they should receive proper nutrition tailored to their needs, as this is the growth period of children. Kids spend most of their time in school. Schools should focus on both nutrition-based and physical-based interventions.

In the monthly address to the nation, our Hon. Pm Shri #Narendramodi Ji highlighted the importance of nutrition in nation-building with wellness, Responsibility, consumption & as our core principles.

We are celebrating National Nutrition Month from September 1 to 7, which is why I am discussing basic nutrition on my blog.

'' DAL CHAWAL''

The combination of dal and chawal is ideal for people of all ages in terms of nutritional value and taste. This combination has been a part of traditional Indian thali, be it from the North or South. The western Gujarati thali includes its variation in the form of khichdi too, whereas the idlis of the South are the humble breakfast delicacy of most homes.

Healthy dal chawal

There seems to be something fascinating in the combination of two mighty combinations of dal and chawal.

Here is the secret behind its magic ..

Dal chawal complement each other-Just as an ideal couple or perfect partnership happens between the opposites, in the same ways dal chawal complement each other. Their combination is a perfect balance of proteins, carbohydrates, resistant starch, fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins. You can add a dash of cow’s ghee to get the benefits of healthy fats. Dal chawal completes each other -In terms of the nutritional value of essential amino acids, the dal chawal combination truly completes each other's missing profile.
Chawal has cysteine and methionine, the sulphur-containing amino acids, whereas dal has lysine. These all form a part of the nine essential amino acids of proteins, which the body can’t manufacture on its own. Hence, it is vital to combine chawal with dal to get all the necessary acids, making it a complete protein.
Numerous health benefits of dal chawal-Dal chawal not just complement and complete each other but also provide huge health benefits such as..

Easy to digest even for toddlers, elders & sick.
It increases the satiation level of your body and prevents you from binge eating to maintain an ideal weight.
it helps you build muscle as it fulfills all the EFA( Essential Fatty Acids) needs.
It’s a prebiotic (food for probiotics) and also inhibits the growth of bad bacteria to improve overall digestion.
It improves sleep quality, which helps reduce inflammation and improve immunity.

SUMMARY

I am sure you now would want to make your own magical mix of dal chawal to reap its benefits. So, here’s one more proportion secret to enhancing its goodness; always add four parts of chawal with one part of dal, that’s approximately 80 percent chawal combined with 20 percent dal for the healthy mouthwatering dish. One medium-sized cup of such a Dal chawal combination contains 290 kcal, which makes it ideal for weight watchers too. Such a combination contains the right number of proteins as well as hunger-killing enzymes, which help you lose weight if consumed for four days a week. You can have it for dinner too when consumed before 8 pm. So, wait no more, combine your favourite chawal type with a different dal each day and sing along with me, ‘Dal chawal khao prabhu Ke gun Gao…’🍚🍲🙏🙏

THANK YOU ..
