Mothers seldom get the time to take care of themselves. As much as they take care of their family, they must make it a habit to do the same for themselves. A good way to start is by making time for regular exercise and incorporating a balanced diet. Choosing snacks wisely can go a long way to ensuring moms get the nutrients they need. Replacing a fried snack with a handful of almonds between meals provides plant protein, calcium, iron, vitamin E, magnesium, riboflavin, and zinc in addition to other vital nutrients. Regular consumption of almonds can help mothers lead a healthier lifestyle.
“I could truly understand the love and sacrifices of my mother when I became one. I always keep some almonds handy so that I can munch on them throughout the day. Moreover, snacking on almonds instead of consuming unwholesome snacks can make a healthy difference in our lives”, said leading Bollywood Actress, Soha Ali Khan. Ritika Samaddar (Regional Head – Dietetics, Max Healthcare – Delhi) said, “For healthy snacking, lactating mothers can munch on a handful of almonds as they are satiating, nutritious and contain multiple vital nutrients. Almonds are known to be rich in vitamin E antioxidants, dietary fibre, riboflavin, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, protein, manganese and calcium. They also contain folate, iron, niacin, thiamine, zinc and potassium required for a healthy life.”
Integrative Nutritionist and Health Coach Neha Ranglani said, “Mothers should make it a habit to start their day by eating a handful of almonds daily.” Fitness and Celebrity Instructor, Yasmin Karachiwala added, “I would urge all mothers to start investing in their well-being by making exercise and healthy eating a habit. Enrolling in fitness classes and incorporating fruits and almonds into one’s diet can provide a lot of benefits.”
