Foreword

Quite grown up now, but a few years back,

I was in a tug of war with health, nutrition and most importantly food! Things have changed a bit but still I experience being stuck some day or the other as I face new queries about my food and kitchen stuff in my daily routine. I am not in the best shape and struggle many times with my weighty issues but in the whole feud and learning, I am thorough and confirmed about certain things that go a certain definite way and that is for sure, at least as per my research on my own self. The things I state in this book are Hence proved on myself. The Food facts shared in this book are highly influenced by the meals and  surroundings I have been born and brought up with. They may not exactly be on your terms but at least these are facts and can be a good insight if you are sailing in the same boat. Right?

My process is in stepwise manner- liking food, consuming it in a certain fashion, some limited experimentation, thorough analysis, little research and deriving results, insights and self made facts.

Knowing things, applying the information and then rekindling  facts that work or fail is the whole vicious circle of efforts. And it does help, for sure. You will agree once you wade through some surprising, some enlightening pieces of gen stated with enough certitude! Hope you like these info chunks and these may serve fringe benefits over your own

health beliefs and daily praxis

As you leaf through this nutrition cahier,

it will be a magic bullet to your

pot-pourrie of nutrition queries!!

TEA V/S COFFEE

BOTH TEA AND COFFEE were introduced a long time ago, especially in a country like India. Today they form an inseparable part of daily routine throughout the world.

Actually if consumed in moderate amounts, both are quite safe.

Both tea and coffee contain caffeine and are rich sources of antioxidants.Tea specifically contains L-theanine and caffeine also while coffee has a comparatively ample caffeine amount. Tea slowly boosts alertness and energy while coffee quickly kickstarts the energy level.
