With its creamy texture and delectable taste, paneer&nbsp;has been a staple in our kitchens for many years. But you may have noticed that people who are on a diet often prefer to switch to tofu as it tends to be lower in fat. So should you, too, make the switch from paneer&nbsp;to tofu?&nbsp;
Well, the answer depends on who's asking the question. While paneer&nbsp;is made from milk protein, tofu is created by coagulating and curdling soybean milk.&nbsp;
Tofu, which is also known as soy paneer&nbsp;is the ideal alternative for people who are lactose intolerant or vegan as it contains no animal products.&nbsp;
Tofu is also great for people who are trying to lose weight as it has fewer calories, while still being rich in protein and offers more iron than paneer. Tofu also has no cholesterol but is higher in carbohydrate content compared to paneer.&nbsp;
While tofu is big on iron, paneer&nbsp;is a great source of calcium and actually has more protein than the same amount&nbsp;of tofu. This means that paneer&nbsp;may be great for people who do heavy exercise as it can help build muscle and prevent wear and tear.
By now, you must have realised that both tofu and paneer&nbsp;are extremely healthy. Making the switch from one to the other really depends on your dietary restrictions and in case you have no restrictions, it will be best to add a little bit of both to your diet.&nbsp;
Paneer&nbsp;works great in&nbsp;desi&nbsp;and mughlai&nbsp;cuisine, you can use tofu&nbsp;in Chinese stir-fried dishes or have it grilled with your salad!&nbsp;

Gujarat is all set to rename the dragon fruit as 'Kamalam',&nbsp;Chief Minister Vijay Rupani&nbsp;shared, "because the original name is associated with China."
He further added that the outer shape of the dragon fruit resembles a lotus and therefore the name Kamalam&nbsp;is the best fit. Kamalam&nbsp;means lotus in Sanskrit.&nbsp;
According to reports, dragon fruit has been increasingly added to the diet in Gujarat and is grown in&nbsp;&nbsp;Bhuj, Gandhidham and Mandvi.
The fruit even found a mention in PM Narendra&nbsp;Modi's&nbsp;'Mann Ki Baat' last year, where he praised the farmers in Kutch for growing the fruit.

A new study&nbsp;suggests fried-food consumption is linked to a heightened risk of major heart disease and stroke.&nbsp;
The results published online in the journal Heart say the risk rises with each additional 114 g weekly serving. The&nbsp;analysis showed that compared with the lowest category of weekly fried food consumption, the highest was associated with a 28% higher risk of major cardiovascular events and a 37% increased risk of heart failure.&nbsp;
Much of the data studied only one type of fried food, such as fried fish, potatoes, or snacks, rather than total fried food intake, which may have underestimated the associations found, say researchers.

With an ample amount of fibre and&nbsp;low-calorie&nbsp;content, popcorn is actually one of the healthiest snack&nbsp;foods. Made from a&nbsp;nutritious&nbsp;whole grain&nbsp;and full of carbs that take longer to digest, it is easy to imagine why people love going for bucket loads of this delicious treat at movie theatres.
While popcorn in itself is actually very healthy, the version of popcorn you get outside cinema halls is not that great. The&nbsp;ideal way to have popcorn is when it's air-popped and lightly seasoned. It is a&nbsp;filling,&nbsp;inexpensive and fairly tasty snack.&nbsp;&nbsp;
However, a medium-sized tub of popcorn at the&nbsp;movie&nbsp;theatre&nbsp;popcorn can contain up to 1,090 calories and 2,650 milligrams of sodium, according to the American Heart Organisation.&nbsp;High sodium is a leading risk factor for hypertension and stroke.&nbsp;And things only get worse when popcorn is coated in sugary caramel or processed cheese.&nbsp;&nbsp;
So even though popcorn is very healthy, you must be mindful of the way it is prepared and what kind of seasonings are being added afterwards.&nbsp;&nbsp;
When prepared well, popcorn can be your perfect&nbsp;weight-loss&nbsp;snack, packed&nbsp;with antioxidants and minerals like&nbsp;manganese, zinc, magnesium and phosphorus!&nbsp;&nbsp;

The ketogenic&nbsp;diet is possibly one of the most popular diets of recent times. In the most simple terms, a keto&nbsp;diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that many claim to be effective in treatment hard-to-control illnesses like heart disease&nbsp;or epilepsy.&nbsp;
It is most commonly adopted by people who are trying to lose weight. So, if you are also planning to keto, here are some foods that you include in your diet.
Salmon and other fatty fish are as keto-friendly as it gets. Fish are a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids as well as minerals like selenium and potassium.&nbsp;
Low-carb, non-starchy vegetables are low in calories but loaded with other important nutrients. So add ample amounts of broccoli, bell peppers, spinach and green beans to your keto plates.&nbsp;
With nearly no carbohydrate content, cheese is a powerhouse of healthy fat. It is also rich in protein and calcium at the same time, making it a great addition to any healthy meal. Alternatively, you can also have some plain&nbsp;yoghurt or paneer&nbsp;for the same benefits,&nbsp;if cheese is not your thing.&nbsp;
Finally, don't forget about nuts, seeds and healthy oils. Being full of&nbsp;polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, fiber and protein, these foods are a key part of keto&nbsp;diets. Most experts recommend olive and coconut oil to be your best friends if you're on keto.&nbsp;
While keto&nbsp;may work for many, we recommend that you&nbsp;must consult a certified nutritionist before making any drastic&nbsp;changes to your diet.&nbsp;

A mineral that the body only needs in small amounts but is essential for the working of hundreds of enzymes, zinc is an important part of your diet.&nbsp;
It helps cell growth, synthesizes proteins and plays a vital role in supporting a healthy immune system. Harvard Health recommends&nbsp;that adult women should consume 8mg of zinc per day, while for adult men the recommended daily allowance (RDA) is 11mg.&nbsp;
Being a key helper in building immune cells, even a mild deficiency of this mineral can weaken your immunity, so here are some foods rich in zinc!&nbsp;
Shellfish such as oysters, crab and lobster are the best sources of zinc. Incorporate any of them in your diet once a week to get your fill.&nbsp;
If you start your morning with oats, you'll be happy to know that they are another good source of this mineral with one serving taking care of half of your day's zinc needs.
Add some pumpkin seeds to this mix and you have your zinc needs for the day sorted.
If you love nuts, have some cashews or almonds or both! While cashews are a richer source of zinc, almonds also offer a decent amount.&nbsp;
One of the most versatile and nutritious veggie foods, chickpeas are also rich in zinc. So make some hummus or have a plate of chhole masala!&nbsp;

Have you ever wondered why some people end their meal with&nbsp;betel&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;or paan ke patte? According to historic records, even the royals in India commonly followed the practice. Ayurveda practitioners say that chewing on&nbsp;betel&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;supports digestion and promotes gut health. The&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;are believed to be anti-flatulent and carminative and thus, enhance metabolism.&nbsp;
Considered to be an analgesic, experts believe applying a paste made out of the&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;can help relieve symptoms of pain. Using the paste on a wound or a cut can do wonders. If you're suffering from internal injuries or pains, drinking&nbsp;betel&nbsp;leaf juice may offer some pain relief.&nbsp;
A powerhouse of antioxidants,&nbsp;betel&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;help ease constipation and an upset stomach. Just crush the&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;and soak them in water overnight. Drink the water the next day on an empty stomach to reap benefits for the bowels.&nbsp;
Paan ke Patte serve as an antidote for a variety of respiratory issues like cough, cold, congestion and asthma. Simply apply mustard oil on the leaf, warm it and place on the chest for relief. Alternatively, you can boil the&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;with cardamom, cinnamon and cloves in water and consume the concoction. &nbsp;
Rich in polyphenols, the&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;come with anti-fungal and antiseptic elements that help cure any kind of fungal infection and provide protection from germs. The paste can be applied on the infected area to kill the fungus.&nbsp;
So now you know why the humble leaf has been such an important part of India&rsquo;s culinary culture!&nbsp;

Acid reflux is a far too common issue that we experience from time to time. It happens when stomach acids travel from the food pipe to the mouth. Heartburn, not associated with the heart at all is, in fact, a symptom of acid reflux. It is the burning sensation in the abdomen or the chest.&nbsp;
People often turn to commercial medications, such as omeprazole, for relief. However, there are a number of lifestyle changes that can offer you long term relief from the tricky problems of acid reflux: &nbsp;
Acid reflux usually occurs after you have a meal and a large meal only makes it worse. Try avoiding large meals and cut down on your portion sizes. Replace larger meals with a higher number of smaller meals during the course of the day.&nbsp;
How you eat and when you eat could trigger heartburn. Make sure you finish your meal at least two hours before bedtime. Eat slowly, relishing each bite to the fullest.&nbsp;
High-fat foods, onions, tomatoes, citrus fruits and caffeine are commonly blamed to be a trigger for acid reflux in some people. Make a list of the food items you&rsquo;ve consumed that caused you heartburn to keep track of your trigger points. Experts believe a majority of patients with acid reflux avoid drinking citrus juice, as it can be a major cause of acidity.&nbsp;
You may not believe it but tight clothes tend to worsen the problem, increasing the pressure on the abdomen. Therefore, if you&rsquo;re a victim of acid reflux and often complain of heartburn, try to opt for loose clothes and see if that does the trick for you.&nbsp;
If the problem persists even after you&rsquo;ve tried all of this, it would be best to see a doctor. &nbsp;
