Cook With Plant-based Chef Priya Vijan | Masterchef India Top 11 Contestant
Priya Vijan, the only Plant-based & Vegan chef in MasterChef India 2023, reflects on her journey from eating paranthas soaked in butter to completely switching to a plant-based diet. A 21-day experiment of consuming no dairy, changed her life. In 2019, Priya enrolled in a nutrition course and this is where she understood the importance of a plant-based diet and the negative impacts of animal products, dairy in particular. She did a 21-Day experiment of consuming zero dairy and realised she did not need to take her medicines for allergies & migraine as frequently as before. She went back to consuming dairy just to see the difference and the frequency of medicines went up again! Clearly, dairy did not agree with her stomach. The entire transition period of going off dairy took her six months. Born into a Punjabi household in Kashmirs' Baramulla, it wasn't easy for her, but the results of her experiment were surprising. “By the end of the per

Best Foods To Boost Your Brain Power & Memory
Our Brain is what makes us human. We are the most evolved species on this planet due to our brain power. The brain controls and coordinates all our actions and reactions.

Untold Truths About A2 Milk That You Must Know
There's a lot of talk around A2 milk nowadays. Are these facts or just hype? Is it truly better for health, more digestible and non-allergenic as claimed? Continue reading to know! Constituents of cow's milk Around 87-88% of cow's milk is water, with the remaining 12-13% consisting of solids like sugar, fat, proteins, and minerals. Casein and whey are the two forms of proteins found in cow's milk. Casein protein makes up around 80% of milk's protein. Beta-casein protein is the most prevalent casein protein found in milk and is seen in two forms; A1 and A2. Cows' milk may either include the beta-casein protein in its A2 form, in its slightly different A1 milk protein form, or in a combination of the two.

This has resulted in classifying cows into two categories: A1 cows: Cow breeds from

India is blessed with an extensive shoreline. Seafood has been a part of our culture. Both, salt water and fresh water seafood are a staple in many parts of the country.

Do you need curd for probioctics?
Curd has long been a staple in the Indian diet. Whether it is used as buttermilk called chaas in north India, majjige or sambaram in south India or used in its thick, creamy form as ‘dahi' in biryanis, raitas, chaat or in the must-end-to all-meals - tayir sadam of south Indian cuisine, curd has, for long, thought to have cooling and digestive properties. Today, we examine the claim of curd being good for the stomach and digestion as it is considered a probiotic What is curd? Curd is a naturally fermented product of dairy. By adding a previous batch of curd called a ‘starter' or by using a probiotic capsule, or by other means of adding ‘live' cultures, boiled milk is ‘set' to form curd. The proliferation of the small, initial set of bacteria under the right conditions, ferments the milk to form curd. The milk takes on a thicker, creamier consistency and also develops a slightly tangy taste. Claims on health Every
