Dine on healthy treats this weekend

For office peeps, weekends are a much awaited break that they desperately require to unwind their mind and body. After a tiring week at workplace, it is necessary to do something for a day or two that can truly give you happiness. Be it binge watching an interesting TV series, eating all day in your bed or hanging out with a bunch of friends; Weekends are all about relaxing. Though, there is one thing that many of you might not really like about them—And that is eating junk and too much lazying wround! Yes, many of us have a tendency to eat anything and everything right in the comfort of our bed, which is not really good.     

So this weekend we suggest you to follow a little healthier routine to not feel the Monday morning blues so gravely. Here are some healthier treats that you can dine over with a bunch of friends.

Bagel fruit pizza

Let’s admit it—pizzas are everyone’s guilty pleasure. They are tasty, cheesy, and a complete delight to the taste buds. How about having a healthier version of your beloved pizza? Sounds interesting right! Topped with interesting fruits like grapes, oranges, and strawberries, this one is a healthy and savory option. Go to some nice restaurant in Vasant Kunj or anywhere in south Delhi to have a good time with family and friends.

      

The chocolate peanut butter shake for breakfast

Wouldn’t be amazing to kick-start your day with a fresh peanut butter chocolate shake? Of course, it would. Cocoa powder, two ripped bananas, and three cup ice tea blended in one fourth peanut butter and almond milk. Seems enticing right! Try this one over the weekend.

Sandwiches and burgers

Sandwiches and burgers are a major comfort food and weekend is simply incomplete without them. If you are in a mood for house party then call a bunch of friends, get some drinks, snacks, burgers, and DVDs to have an awesome night that you have been longing for so long.

Blueberry oatmeal

A blend of oats, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, and blueberries in one bowl will delight your taste buds to the T. A perfect amalgamation of health and taste, this savory delight is a good treat to munch on when you are binge watching an interesting TV series. Blueberry oatmeal is a toothsome treat that you have without piling on extra calories on your stomach

Confessions of a Glutton

A good meal is divine bliss –at least for me. And I’m sure many of you will agree! For every glutton at heart, good food (or just about anything that’s edible) is the best part of the day. Not to undermine a stimulating education or a job or anything, but when I go to bed each night, when I think back about the events of the day –if a phenomenal meal had been consumed, it’s the absolute highlight of the day! 

Does this sound just a tad bit crazy? Well, then go ahead and call me crazy, because I’m crazy for food! If I were to pick between my loves ones and the best Tenderloin Steak, honestly, it’d be quite a hard decision. 

Yes, I’m a relentless glutton. A good meal, for me, is the very definition of contentment. Just the thought of some succulent best Tenderloin Steak or a big juicy burger or even just a bowl of rajma chawal gives me goose bumps –I kid you not! 

I’ve reached a point where I just couldn’t care less about my weight; a good meal is worth having, even if it’s a million calories! So with my carefree foodie attitude, you’re bound to find me sitting at one of the many, many amazing restaurants in Delhi, gorging away on some dish or the other every other day (or at least every weekend, for sure, depending on the state of the contents of my wallet). 

And so with my love for food, I’m always scouting out a Famous restaurant in vasant kunj or the best restaurants in Saket, or Hauz Khas, or Khan Market or even anywhere on the periphery of the glorious city of Delhi. With all the amazing eateries, I’m pretty sure the city of Delhi is a glutton at heart too –just like me!

Top Reasons to Bid Farewell to the Junk Food

Junk food globally has today touched the peak of its popularity. They have gained these heights not just because it tastes good but also because the best burgers in Delhi and around are relatively cheaper than any other delectable dishes.

While we are all in awe of the variety and the tastes which these Junk foods are available in, it is imperative to be cognitive of the health effects they are potent to produce. Here are some of the reasons you need to stay away from all the Junk you regularly have:

-Unnecessary weight gain

Studies reveal that people who indulge in regular bites of Junk food like smoke lamb burger more than often have a greater tendency of gaining weight than those who are non-junk eaters. While obesity is one of the biggest health problems which suffer from globally, the changing eating habits are the most to be blamed.

-Have no nutritional value

Primarily the junk foods are empty in any and every nutritional value. Especially the packed varieties that are flooding the market these days are to be majorly avoided. High in chemical content they are not just nutrition deprived but also have a high dose of unwanted chemicals.

-Chances of Infertility

Various studies conducted on the health effects produced by the junk foods reflect on the fact that they have a high amount of growth hormones. Growth hormones aren’t just any normal hormones but are known to be the biggest reason for infertility.

-Contain high doses of refined sugar

The abundant amount of refined sugar which is found in the Junk foods like best burgers in Delhi or elsewhere is known to affect the immunity adversely. Refined sugars also heighten your blood sugar levels which is the primary cause of diabetes.

Organizing an Office Party

Work. Home. Work. Repeat.

This is all that is there to a working person’s life. The corporate landscape has made a cut into our daily lives, sapping it off of things essential to living a quality life.

I don’t remember the last time I even planned a “Fun Friday”, let alone enjoy it. The voracious work requirements don’t leave time for anything else, yet only if we could incorporate frequent, informal meet-ups between company professionals, things would be positively different that way.

Social gatherings are imperative to infusing work life with an easy going vibe. I, for one, have seen company professionals bonding over a drink in restaurant in Vasant Kunj, or merely gobbling down burgers in Delhi streets. Such rapport eases the competitive climate and provides employees a much needed getaway from the daily shackles of work life.

Organizing a party, an office party for that matter, needs some planning in advance though. Depending upon the nature of the corporate a restaurant is booked. If you are booking a venue for an entire office, be careful with what you go ahead. If you are a group of colleagues contemplating some fun, a regular restro would do for you.

Next stop on the platter, undeniably, should be food. Even if the organizer is a vegan, he ought to spare a thought to the other employees too. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian delights should smoothly make to the party menu. Drinks, of course, are a big YES, too!

Sending in the official invite to all the employees is a crucial step too. Merely making announcements about the event won’t do; you have to send in a formal invite via mails or via calls. Sending in a formal invites via email is a hassle-free process; it allows you to conceptualize the strength and make arrangements accordingly.

Quick and Easy Egg Recipes

Eggs are globally regarded as the staple food for breakfast from times long and of course for all the good reasons. Eggs are a rich source of vital nutrients essential for a healthy diet.

The health related benefits and the eating delight have warranted its place in morning menus in several restaurants in Khan Market and others.

Eggs are also a good storehouse of proteins which needless to say are an indispensable part of the bones, muscles, cartilages, skin and blood. Our body also uses these proteins to further build and repair the tissues as well as for making several enzymes, hormones and other chemicals found in the body.
