Eating right for health, happiness and longevity

Ultra Mixer Grinder’s guide to mindful eating

We are what we eat and it’s time to take control of the food on our plates.

Scientists have linked healthy food to not just good heath but also to our mood. A relatively new field, nutritional psychiatry, helps patients understand the food-brain connection. It is important to know that 90% of serotonin receptors are located in the Gastro Intestinal (GI) track. Serotonin is a chemical produced by the nerve cells and is vital for neuro-transmitting signals between the nerve cells. With most of the serotonin in the stomach and intestines (gut), it’s not surprising that as soon as anyone is prescribed an anti-depressant, the most common side effect is stomach-related.

The first step to a healthy gut and a happy life is to switch to organic whole grains and pulses that are not filled with preservatives and chemicals. Switching to whole and organic foods and adding millets to your diet would increase the fibre intake that promotes good gut health.

Include pro and prebiotic foods into your regular diet, maintain the flora and fauna of the gut. Probiotic foods like good cultured homemade yoghurt, fermented probiotic drinks like buttermilk, kefir and kombucha are also an important source of good bacteria that help your gut.

To this, you can add a good helping of antioxidant rich foods including, berries, grapes, pomegranates and homemade chocolate.

Juice Sxtraction

JUICE EXTRACTION VS FULL FIBRE SMOOTHIES.

While fibre rich foods promote the good bacteria in the GI track, digesting and passing an all fibre diet would strain it. Moderation is essential. Antioxidant and vitamin rich fruit juices are easy to digest where the nutrients are absorbed without having to work through the fibre. Smoothies are great if you want to keep the fibre and have a wholesome drink.

SLOW JUICING, SAY GOODBYE TO CRUSHED SEEDS AND BITTER AFTERTASTE

Ultra Mixer Grinder, comes with a unique slow grind function. Often when you juice fruits like oranges, pomegranates and watermelon, the seeds get crushed leaving a bitter after taste.

With the slow grind option, maximum nutrition is extracted from the fruit, the seeds stay intact, while the juice is slowly extracted. You can enjoy a glass of pure juice without the seeds and without the bitter aftertaste. Another added advantage is, the juicer jar comes with a filter mechanism with a stainless steel mesh. This adds convenience by filtering the juice and keeping the seeds inside. With Ultra Mixer Grinder’s, enjoy a fresh nutritious glass of juice in a jiffy!
