Dear Ms. Aysha, Jaggery is considered a better choice as compare to white/brown sugar, but if you’re a diabetic, jaggery should be out of your food limits. It contains a small amount of B vitamins and minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. Apart from these vitamins and minerals, Jaggery helps in blood purification, metabolism, nervous system, relief from cough & cold (taken with Honey and Ginger) and is considered as good cleansing agent (lungs, stomach, intestines, esophagus, and respiratory tracts) but it may lead to some harmful effects too if not consumed in moderation. These harmful effects include weight gain, increased blood sugar levels, indigestion, and nose bleeding due to heat production inside the body. Diabetic patient should avoid Jaggery considering high Glycemic index value (84). Of course there is no significant difference between white and brown sugar from the nutrition perspective to give major health benefits. I hope you are satisfied with the above response. It would be my pleasure to know how more we can assist you.

Dear Ms. Aysha, the best organic diet to manage diabetes is depends on how much you need to eat and drink is based on your age, gender, how active you are and the goals you’re aiming for. But no single food contains all the essential nutrients your body needs. That’s why a healthy diet is all about variety and choosing different foods from each of the main food groups every day. As with any healthy eating program, a diabetic diet is more about your overall dietary pattern rather than obsessing over specific foods. Aim to eat more natural, unprocessed food and less packaged and convenience foods.
Eat more
• Healthy fats from nuts, olive oil, fish oils, flax seeds, or avocados.
• Fruits and vegetables—ideally fresh, the more colorful the better; whole fruit rather than juices.
• High-fiber cereals and breads made from whole grains.
• Fish and shellfish, organic chicken or turkey.
• High-quality protein such as eggs, beans, low-fat dairy and unsweetened yogurt.
Eat less
• Packaged and fast foods, especially those high in sugar, baked goods, sweets, chips, desserts.
• White bread, sugary cereals, refined pastas or rice.
• Processed meat and red meat.
• Low-fat products that have replaced fat with added sugar, such as fat-free yogurt.
I hope you are satisfied with the above response. In case you would like to have more information, we are happy to address your queries.

Dear Aysha, yes of course; consuming organic green tea helps in improving gut health. Catechins found in green tea promote the production of a digestive enzyme called pepsin. Pepsin helps in absorbing nutrients from the food that has been consumed. Organic tulsi green tea benefits the body by improving the function of the digestive tract. Catechins, anti-inflammatory polyphenols found in green tea, have been linked to anti-cancer activity and lower risk of heart and liver disease as well. Thank you for your time and consideration. In case you would like to have more information, we are happy to address your queries.

Dear Aysha, that’s an interesting question; When it comes to maintaining your gut health or microbiome at its healthiest level, nothing is more important than what you eat and drink. Fiber also plays a role in one of the most common digestive illnesses worldwide: divertivulitis (aka inflammation of the intestine). Fiber isn’t the only all-star that starts with the letter F. Fermented foods can also be a key component of a diet that fuels gut health. These foods give your gut healthy, living microorganisms to crowd out the unhealthy bacteria, improve absorption of minerals, and support overall health.
To summarize, here are some of the best organic foods for gut health:
• Fiber: Think whole grains, beans and legumes, and whole fruits and veggies.
• Fermented foods.
• Veggies: broccoli, asparagus, green peas, sprouts
• Flaxseed.
• Fruits. Bananas, apples.
• Garlic, ginger
• Yoghurt is an excellent source of so-called friendly bacteria, also known as probiotics.
• Almonds: good probiotic properties, which means they are a treat for your gut bacteria
Hope this response satisfies you, if you have any other question please let us know.

Dear Aysha, thank you for your inquiry regarding maintaining good gut health, among all the talk of essential nutrients, we are rarely told to eat fiber. But here’s what you should know, regular intake of dietary fiber is one of the most important requirements for staying healthy or to keep your gut healthy. Whole wheat atta is rich in insoluble fiber, which helps food to pass easily through the digestive system. In turn, helping you avoid all the digestive problems like constipation, bloating, irregular bowel movement, and various diseases of the colon. Since millets are a gluten-free grain, those suffering from Celiac disease or gluten intolerance can make use of millet flour. I hope the above details are sufficient for you to understand. Need more details, we are always ready to help.

Dear Ayesha , Whether they’re toddlers or in their teens, children develop a natural preference for the foods they enjoy the most. To encourage healthy eating habits, the challenge is to make nutritious choices appealing. The organic meal for your child should consist of; Keep plenty of fruit, vegetables, and healthy beverages (water, milk, pure fruit juice), low-fat dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheeses) or dairy substitutes, lean proteins (beans, chicken, fish, lean hamburger, tofu, eggs), and whole-grain cereals and bread; on hand so kids avoid unhealthy snacks like soda, chips, and cookies. Teach your children to eat a rainbow of colors: Arrange your children’s foods to show the beauty of fresh, brightly colored foods. Talk about the farms where food comes from and the farmers who help grow it. It would be my pleasure to know how more we can assist you.

Dear Aysha, It was a pleasure to receive your inquiry, Dried fruits and nuts are called the powerhouse of nutrition, as they are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, antioxidants and dietary fiber. Children can be given whole dried fruits and nuts after the age of five years. It also helps in overall growth and development of children and boosts their immunity. However, it is still advisable to keep an eye on them to make sure they chew them well. Eat in small quantities (4-7 pieces) daily to get a whole entourage of health benefits. Different ways to add dried fruits and nuts to your child’s diet:
• Sprinkle crushed almonds or pecans over a cup of low-fat yoghurt
• Add chopped walnuts to homemade banana bread
• Add dried fruits to porridges or puddings
• Stir a tablespoon of nut butter (almond or cashew butter) into pancakes or muffin batter

Dear Ayesha, It was a pleasure to receive your inquiry, Many people automatically think of calcium as the main benefit of drinking cow’s milk, but this liquid is so much more than a vessel for this popular bone-building mineral. Along with being a natural source of protein, carbohydrates, and sometimes fat, milk also provides nine essential nutrients. To bump up the nutritional benefits of your child’s milk even more, choosing organic milk can offer some unique features:
• Since organic milk comes from grass-fed cows it contains higher levels of beneficial fatty acids that can only be attributed to the cows’ fresh pasture diet.
• Organic milk is produced without toxic synthetic pesticides, added hormones, antibiotics, or GMO’s.
Including two to three glasses of milk in your child’s diet every day can fill nutrition gaps, limit added sugar consumption. So the next time your kids start begging for a glass of juice or other sweet beverage, offer a glass of nutrient-rich and amazingly delicious milk, instead to make sure they’re getting the nutrition they need during these precious and formative years. If you have any questions or need more details, we are always ready to help.

Dear Ms. Ayesha, that’s an interesting query; the Source-water contaminants of concern include arsenic, asbestos, radon, agricultural chemicals, and hazardous waste. Of these, the strongest evidence for a cancer risk involves arsenic, which is linked to cancers of the liver, lung, bladder, and kidney. The use of chlorine for water treatment to reduce the risk of infectious disease may account for a substantial portion of the cancer risk associated with drinking water. Chemical substances are intentionally added to foods to modify flavor, color, stability, texture, or cost. Chemical substances are used in such a way that they may unintentionally enter the food supply. These substances include components of food-packaging materials, processing aids, pesticide residues, and drugs given to animals. An unknown number of naturally occurring chemical contaminants also find their way into food. For a food or drink to be considered a carcinogen, strong evidence must link its consumption to an increased cancer risk and show how cancer may develop as a result. The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies carcinogens by determining how likely they are to cause cancer. Hopefully, the information given is sufficient for you.

Dear Ms. Ayesha, It was a pleasure to receive your inquiry about the Organic food. Organic food standards do not allow the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms and restrict the use of veterinary medications. As a result, organic products are less likely to contain pesticide residues than conventional foods. Because of the lower exposure to pesticide residues, it can be hypothesized that high organic food consumers may have a lower risk of developing cancer. Furthermore, natural pesticides allowed in organic farming in the European Union exhibit much lower toxic effects than the synthetic pesticides used in conventional farming, although the study findings need to be confirmed. I hope you are satisfied with the information above.

Dear Ms. Ayesha, thanks, for your enquiry regarding healthy food item, People with cancer often need to follow diets that are different from what you think of as healthy. For most people, a healthy diet includes:
- Lots of fruits, vegetables, and whole grain breads and cereals.
-
Modest amounts of meat and milk products
-
Small amounts of fat, sugar, alcohol, and salt
Your best bet is to stick with a Balanced Diet with lean proteins, Organic fruits and vegetables like (Kale, raspberry, spinach, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Tomatoes, Squashes etc), Oganic whole grains like whole wheat bread, Atta, Oats, Millets etc. and low-fat dairy. Limit your sugar, caffeine, salt, and alcohol. I hope you are satisfied with above information.

Dear Sibsankar, that is an interesting question, yes, it is possible to make kitchen gardening, terrace gardening at home. In this model local seeds, compost made from kitchen ways, homemade bio pesticides like neem leaf extract, chili garlic extract etc are utilized as bio pesticides.
Regular irrigation is to be provided to the vegetable crops.(in kitchen gardens and terrace gardening mostly vegetable crops like leafy vegetables, brinjal, tomatoes, chilies, beans, and few gourds are grown), Kitchen gardens help in supplying fresh vegetables free from pesticides residues. It will provide nutritional requirement to the families.
In recent times many households are practicing kitchen gardening or terrace gardening as an important practice for obtaining fresh vegetables to the family. We hope the above answer helps you, would you like to know anything else?

Dear Sibsankar, that’s a very interesting question, yes of course you can lose weight by only eating organic food products. Otherwise also Consuming more fresh produce, organic such as fruits and vegetables has been a consistent link to weight-loss because they are high in fiber, which can help control appetite. Eat various different colored fruits and vegetables on a daily basis because it will provide you with various vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that your body needs to remain healthy. Try including protein and fiber rich sources like pulses, whole grain cereals, millet etc. Whole sources of protein are typically higher in protein and lower in calories, which makes them better for fat loss.
