In the midst of life’s hustle and bustle, our busy schedules often lead us to unhealthy snacks, impacting our overall well-being, especially immunity. Addressing this concern, the Almond Board of California hosted a panel discussion on ‘Snack Smart for a Healthier Family and Stronger Immunity’ at The Park Hotel, Kolkata. Panelists included Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan, Celebrity Pilates Master Instructor Yasmin Karachiwala, and Ritika Samaddar, Regional Head of Dietetics at Max Healthcare – New Delhi.
The session highlighted the significance of healthy snacking, especially nutrient-rich options like almonds, in enhancing immunity and promoting family well-being. The panel discussed the importance of clean, balanced eating habits, particularly in the face of quick, ready-to-eat foods.
They recommended incorporating seasonal fruits, vegetables, and almonds into one’s diet for healthy living. Almonds are rich in essential nutrients like vitamin E, magnesium, protein, riboflavin, zinc, vitamin B2, and phosphorus, which boost immunity and immune system function. They also have satiating properties, aiding in weight management and overall well-being. During the session, Bollywood Actress Soha Ali Khan said, “Almonds play a crucial role in our diet, and over the years, I have personally experienced the numerous nutritional and health benefits they offer.”
