Mothers are rightly called the pillar of a family. However, mothers seldom get the time to take care of themselves. As much as they take care of their family, they must make it a habit to do the same for themselves. A good way to start is by making time for regular exercise and incorporating a balanced diet. Choosing snacks wisely can go a long way to ensuring moms get the nutrients they need. Replacing a fried snack with a handful of almonds between meals provides plant protein, calcium, iron, vitamin E, magnesium, riboflavin, and zinc in addition to other vital nutrients. Regular consumption of almonds can help mothers lead a healthier lifestyle.
Leading Bollywood Actress, Soha Ali Khan said, “I could truly understand the love and sacrifices of my mother when I became one. I always keep some almonds handy so that I can munch on them throughout the day. Moreover, snacking on almonds instead of consuming unwholesome snacks can make a healthy difference in our lives.”
Ritika Samaddar, Regional Head – Dietetics, Max Healthcare – Delhi mentioned, “Good nutrition is important for mothers, especially after pregnancy. For healthy snacking, lactating mothers can munch on a handful of almonds as they are satiating, nutritious, and contain multiple vital nutrients.”
Integrative Nutritionist and Health Coach Neha Ranglani said, “Mothers often neglect their own health whilst taking care of the family. Mothers should make it a habit to start their day by eating a handful of almonds daily.”
Fitness and Celebrity Instructor, Yasmin Karachiwala mentioned, “I would urge all mothers to start investing in their well-being by making exercise and healthy eating a habit. Almonds are a source of essential nutrients such as protein, calcium, iron, zinc, folate, etc.”
