Q. How is cow’s milk better than milk alternatives?
Cow’s milk contains nutrients such as calcium, vitamin A, vitamin D, proteins, phosphorous, zinc etc., which are essential for the body’s growth and development, especially for young children. Non-dairy alternatives for milk, on the other hand, contain unhealthy ingredients such as sugar, syrups, thickeners etc. that do more harm than good to the body. Therefore, it is better to consume pure milk from the best milk brand in India to ensure health as well as taste.
Q. Are trans fats in dairy good for the body? How harmful are man-made trans fats as compared to natural trans fats?
The question about trans fats has always troubled majority of the people. Trans fats are a type of dietary fat that is one of the worst kinds for your health. If you consume too much trans fat in your diet then it can raise your risk of heart disease. Natural trans fats are found in vegetable oils such as canola, sunflower, olive oil and in fats from ruminants (cow, goats). Man-made trans fats are created when these healthy vegetable oils go through partial hydrogenation. Both versions are equally harmful to your body as they increase bad cholesterol levels. Therefore, it is always advised that you consume no more than 2g trans fat per day.
Q. Can you skip breakfast and still maintain a healthy diet plan?
Breakfast is and will always be the most important meal of the day. So you cannot call your diet plan healthy if you’re skipping breakfast. A breakfast rich in carbohydrates, fibre and other essential nutrients provides energy to the muscles and the brain. This gives a spirited start to your day. A nutritious breakfast includes cereal, fruits, bread, milk, yoghurt, etc. Wholegrain bread and cereal with HF Super milk are two of the healthiest options you can opt for as your breakfast.
Q. How to ensure my kids consume their favourite foods without compromising on their health?
Portion Control is one of the best ways to ensure your children get all the necessary nutrients without depriving them of their favourite foods. Set a specific portion limit for all items to manage their expectations beforehand so that they don’t feel cheated. Another thing that you can do is choose healthier alternatives for high-fat foods. This will accomplish taste as well as nutrition. Examples include replacing white bread with brown bread, making pizza with a wheat base etc. Select only the best bakery products in Punjab from HF Super and let your children indulge in their favourite foods without worrying about whether or not they are getting adequate nutrition.
Q. When is bread considered unhealthy?
Bread is a source of carbohydrates, which is required for energy. Wholemeal bread is healthier than refined white bread as its carbohydrates get digested at a slower rate. This keeps the body active for a longer period. Wholemeal bread is also richer in nutrients such as vitamin B, calcium, iron, and fibre. Unhealthy bread is usually heavily refined white bread as it loses its nutrients during the refining process. Moreover, many manufacturers add preservatives, colour and various flour treatment agents that end up making the product detrimental.
Q. How can I ensure bread stays fresh for long?
There are various ways you can keep your bread fresh for a longer period. One of the common ways is to keep it in a breadbox or wrap it in a foil. This will keep the moisture retained and the bread fresh for a long time. The best way though is to freeze the bread. This will make it last for two to three months.
