The Basics of a Healthy Meal

Image
We all need a balance of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals in our diets to sustain a healthy body. You don’t need to eliminate certain categories of food from your diet, but rather select the healthiest options from each category. Fresh Fruits Fresh Vegetables Whole Grains Lean Meat/Fish/Egg Brown Rice Whole Wheat Pasta Low-Fat Dressing Low Sodium Condiments Low Fat Dairy Milk / Nut Milk Dried Fruit, Nuts & Seeds Low Sugar Real Fruit Juice To set yourself up for dieting is simple. Eating a healthier diet doesn’t have to be complicated. Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories, think of your diet in terms of the following list. Focus on avoiding packaged and processed foods and opting for more fresh ingredients whenever possible. Better cook your meals at home which can help you in eating to better monitor exactly what goes into your food. Thus you can avoid more calories, chemical additives, added sugar, and unhealthy fats. Always take a sma

Happy Healthy New Year 2021

Image
All of us are going through bad experiences and bad situations. When we felt stuck in a spot we will be in complete darkness. There were despair, anguish, anger, pain, and troubles and we just did not know what to do. This happens when things do not go your way. This pandemic almost stops the world with its power. We are struggling to get normal. In such times, it is natural to feel frustrated and depressed, but if we keep holding on to the pain, the dawn will not come to us. You need to understand that this darkness is here for a reason. It is here to prepare you for dawn so beautiful that you cannot even begin to imagine its beauty. Just like the sun rises after night, your darkness and tough times will end too and you too will see light one day for sure. I believe in the power of the universe. However, you need to keep believing that you will find the light at the end of the tunnel. Don't surrender to the darkness, it will swallow you. Happy New Year. Stay Safe, Stay Healthy

The passion for cooking increased in 2020

Image
The year after the start of lockdown 2020 the eating habits changed a lot.  While the whole world came under lockdown due to the pandemic, food enthusiasts were busy performing their cooking skills.  The youtube channel has a boom with cooking recipes.  As lockdown continued, almost everyone already tried to cook something special. The pandemic almost changes nearly every aspect of our daily lives including our food habits. The restaurant closed, online delivóery also affected, and we are forced to cook almost this year. A lot of people become expert in cooking. Eating habits also have changed and we continue to cook at home with atmost care. Non-vegetarians become vegetarians and trying to consume natural foodstuff to stay away from this pandemic. People began to grow vegetables at home rather than buying them from the grocery shop.  The passion of cooking of some of the people turned into their income making business due to this lockdown.  Work from home and consuming healthy food be

The day of "HOPE" 27th December - Vaccine Day in Italy

Image
At the end of the day, it has arrived. A day to which the whole country, with full support, looks with hope and trust, in the awareness of this very difficult situation. Now we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel with a new dawn. The vaccination properly starts with health and social health workers, doctors, who have been putting their professionalism at the safety of each of us and the entire community.  This is certainly the greatest challenge that in every country the health system is facing since the pandemic spread out. Today in Italy started the journey to the path that must lead us to fight against the pandemic. This must continue with all safety measures with greater confidence in the coming days and even months. Let's unite to get out of this pandemic. Turn the pages and we'll start with a new one.

Post - Covid Christmas

Image
With just a few hours to go before Christmas, decorations in shopping malls, public spaces, and homes have become a myth. This year, Christmas is a time of excitement, hope, fear, and uncertainty. December 2019 was the last ‘pre-covid’ celebration of the festival. We are now in a ‘post-covid’ world. I had given the name “post-covid” because this is the world's first Christmas after the Covid affecting people in Wuhan, in China at the end of 2019. In this first Christmas after Covid, there is uncertainty about how to celebrate everything. The whole world is going through a partial or full lockdown. Its depression and whimper can be heard everywhere. Streets are almost seemed like deserts. Police patrolling in a bid to reassure our communities and maintain public safety during the pandemic. We know these restrictions are difficult for our people to follow, but we must obey all these rules and not step outside of the rules. Prolonged uncertainty and fear make our lives difficult. Peop

A Journey in the mid of Covid

Image
A journey where everything is offered to God and started with the blessings. First RT- PCR test. The result was negative. Crossed the first step of the journey. Within 48 hrs the flight started. The first connection flight was from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala after 8 months of stay and going back home to Italy. The hope of words of those who love me gave me full strength to travel. Airhostess wearing PPE kit standing and welcoming onboard with their usual smiling face. I entered the flight and sat in my seat. I had booked an extra legroom seat, especially for this trip to make sure that I can sit comfortably. I sat on it and put on my seat belt. "Who will sit in the seat next to me now", was my first concern. But there was no one sitting next to me in that row. Very few passengers on the flight. Pin drop silence. Passengers wearing masks and face shields which are compulsory in this flight to travel. It felt like missing something. I have never been on a trip like this. Once t
