Warming protein foods

In winters, the body requires foods that raise the blood pH,


such as protein like lean meat, fish, poultry, eggs,

nuts.


These


 high protein foods are associated with increased heat


 production and higher thermogenesis.


For non-meat eaters,eat plenty of soy products like tofu
,
 soybeans, soy nuts, and tempeh or ‘legume’ which covers a

wonderful array of foods – all dried beans(chickpeas, kidney


 beans, pinto beans etc) and lentils.. Stir fry meals with tofu 


and vegetables, or munch on some soy nuts as a snack.




Having milk boiled with ginger and fresh turmeric is also


 warming.


Fruits and vegetables to keep you warm in winters

Seasonal fruits and vegetables like dark green vegetables,

mustard greens and amaranth greens (bathua), carrots


, turnips, cabbage, tomatoes, oranges, guava, lime, pumpkin


 and amla, are great sources of iron, folate and vitamins A


, B complex and C, which boost immunity and combat


 viruses and bacteria that cause infection. Fruits like 


peaches, apricots and papaya can keep you warm. 


Hot soups and stews are definitely the season’s favourite. A


 bowl of healthy and wholesome soup is not only nutritionally


 sound, but will also make you feel full and prevent you from


 eating junk food. Avoid ready soup mixes as they contain

high amount of starch and preservatives. Homemade soups 


and stews are the way to go.


Fruit chat of like oranges, plums, peaches is most welcome


 Also, you can make a salad of carrots, oranges, beetroot or

just make a vegetable punch!
