Almond Board of California hosted a session around “Changing dynamics of family health’’ that focused on how families across India can revisit their diet and fitness choices and instead adopt a variety of small changes to lead happier, fitter, and healthier lifestyles as we step into the new year.
The session was moderated by well-known RJ Shelee, featured prominent actress, Arpita Chatterjee along with the Regional Head–Dietetics of Max Healthcare at Delhi Ritika Samaddar. The panelists discussed multiple lifestyle disorders like obesity, diabetes, and heart problems. The discussion also captured the nutritional properties of almonds and their positive impact on consumers’ health. Almonds can help promote a feeling of fullness and keep hunger pangs at bay, which in turn can help family members avoid the consumption of less healthy food items. The multiple nutrients present in almonds including Vitamin B2, magnesium, and phosphorus are known for their role in energy release from food. Modifying dietary habits and making corrective lifestyle adjustments is one of the best ways for families to ensure better health in the long term.
Ritika Samaddar said, “I always suggest including nuts such as almonds in your diet. Apart from being a source of 15 nutrients such as vitamin E, protein, riboflavin, calcium, etc., this flavorsome source of energy also helps in staying active and given the vitamin E content, may also support pulmonary immune function.”
