Mushrooms – These Buttons Are Much Healthier Than You Thought
Listen To Article [sc_embed_player fileurl=”https://bagdarafarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/apoorva-mushrooms.mp3″] “food be your medicine, let medicine be thy food” – Hippocrates – The often-repeated adage that food is the fuel for a living cannot be more apt. However, what should not be lost sight of is the fact that the right food acts as a medicine for our systems. It would be an incorrect perspective to state that healthy food is the most powerful tool to create as well as maintain optimal health. Mushrooms have proved to be one such superfood. They contain an extremely rich reservoir of vitamin D, selenium, riboflavin, and copper. Moreover, all essential amino acids are also present in this functional fungi. A generous serving of fresh mushrooms provides approximately 70 kcal to our bodies. Though there are a variety of mushrooms which occur abundantly, the most commonly used areas brought out:- Button Mushrooms – This variety of mushroom is the most common throughout the globe and are abundantly available in grocery stores. By virtue of having an inherent ability to suppress markers that lead to a reoccurrence of cancers especially prostrate cancer, button mushrooms are also known to boost the immune system effectively. Oyster Mushrooms – These mushrooms are a very rich source of antioxidants and moreover, also produce statins which facilitate lowering cholesterol as well as the increased triglycerides levels in our system. Further, oyster mushrooms are an excellent source of proteins and the presence of folic acid helps to address the issue of anaemia. As a matter of caution, it is advised that a small amount be tried first since they may cause indigestion in some people or some might even be allergic to it. Shitake Mushrooms – Due to its immense medicinal properties coupled with the nutritional value that it inherently possesses, shitake is a very popular variety of edible mushrooms and second to button mushrooms in terms of the vastness of cultivation. It contains a high percentage of dietary fibers and the health benefits include antimicrobial, anticancer, hypocholesterolemic as well as antidiabetic activities. They have always been an automatic alternative to vegetarians for the ‘protein option’. It should always be kept in mind that mushrooms should be cooked well due to the fact that the cooking heat softens the wall of mushrooms and even the medicinal benefits get enhanced substantially once heated. It is indeed ironic that inspite of being aware of the health benefits of mushrooms, a majority of us still do not include these fungi in our routine diets. An alternative way to intake mushrooms in our diets is by having dried mushrooms and mushroom powders. Though fresh mushrooms offer the maximal health benefits, mushroom powders make it convenient to have them frequently especially for those who have not taken to their taste. To enhance the proportion of vitamin D in mushrooms, they could be exposed to sunlight for twenty to thirty minutes and more importantly, they should be placed ‘bottoms up’ so that the undersize of caps get exposed to valuable sunlight.
Your NEW YEAR Resolution to be LIKE THIS to KEEP HEALTHY in 2019
Listen To Article [sc_embed_player fileurl=”https://bagdarafarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/apoorva-newyearresolution.mp3″] the daily grind of routines that have to be adhered to, it becomes that much more difficult to bounce back with renewed vigor. Few innovative resolutions which can surely help are brought out as under – Never start off by indulging in the often mentioned commitment that “I will lose weight”. Instead, make up your mind by saying “From now on, I will introduce new healthy things in my diet”. For example, instead of having namkeen and biscuits with tea, consume seeds and nuts. Steamed foods like momos, dokhlas, and idlis are anytime a better alternative to fried things. Try to ‘kick-out’ the routine of having morning tea since this is more out of habit than necessity or even satisfying the palate. Have water or even jeera water instead. Whole grains like rye, oats, and barley should be preferred to refined sugar and flour. Transcend from trying to commit ourselves to exercise routinely and instead, we should take a silent pledge to incorporate measures to look after our bodies meaningfully. This does not require any knee-jerk reactions or a major shift in activity. Just adhering to simple actions which can be imbibed and turned into habits, shall work wonders. Having a healthy and regular sleeping pattern to enable the body to rest and recoup, walking instead of taking the car whenever and wherever feasible shall keep us feeling rejuvenated as well as active. Getting the body massaged with oils once a fortnight every fortnight, helps to relax the muscles, improves blood circulation apart from being so good for the skin. We should deliberately indulge in detoxing our systems at least once a month by having only vegetables and fruits, detox tea, vegetable juices, and last but definitely not least, plenty of water. Decluttering our minds is also attributed to be a way to detoxify our systems. Getting rid of stuff no longer in use and never so in the foreseeable future, helps in decluttering as well as creating space for other or better things. It is well established that it takes twenty-one days to form a new habit. However, the initial days are the most critical as the body and mind resist any change which makes it difficult to adapt to something entirely new. It is always advised to be persistent and consistent in sticking to new plans which we make for ourselves. After a few months, it would be an inherent part of our persona. We should constantly endeavor to improve our physical prowess. Supplements of vitamin D, as well as B12, should b toe had incased in any deficiency. Body immunity and strength can be enhanced by consuming seasonal vegetables and fruits since they are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. Having a regular dose of ‘Chawanprash’ has also yielded positive results in many a case. By setting and crossing milestones in our quest of reaching the objective of being able to adhere to a regimen, is itself an achievement to thump ourselves on our backs. Minor things, however small or trivial they might appear to be, play a significant role in keeping us healthy. Even if we are able to stick to three resolutions out of five, it’s undoubtedly a step in the forward direction.

Vitamin D – The Sunshine Vitamin (Don’t Ignore)
Listen To Article [sc_embed_player fileurl=”https://bagdarafarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/apoorva-vitaminD.mp3″] Since memory goes down the lane, vitamin D is often referred to as the “sunshine” vitamin for the simple fact that our skin stands to benefit when we are out in the sun. Needless to say, this vitamin is essential for normal growth and development. Severely low levels of vitamin D can result in soft, brittle bones, bone pain, and muscle pain coupled with weakness. People over the age of 50 have an increased risk of vitamin D deficiency and this risk increases with age. Vitamin D is also essential to control the amount of calcium in our blood since our body uses Vitamin D to absorb this mineral. However, it is Vitamin K that ensures that the calcium ends up in our bones instead of in the arteries. Vitamin D is Required For – Strong Bones – vitamin D is responsible for the absorption of calcium and it’s been shown to greatly reduce the risk of fracture in two ways. First, it helps with the formation of stronger bones and secondly, vitamin D helps to maintain balance and thus prevents falling by enhancing muscle contraction. Weight loss – Deficiency of vitamin D makes us feel hungry all the time irrespective of how much we have eaten. This is so because low levels of vitamin D interferes with the effectiveness of leptin, the appetite hormone that tells us about our ‘fullness’ quotient. Memory – Our brain tissues consist of vitamin D receptors which suggest that this vitamin plays a role in cognitive function and potentially, the risk for dementia. By virtue of its inherently contained antioxidant properties, vitamin D helps to protect brain function since it stimulates proteins that are important for nerve cell function. Immune System – Vitamin D helps regulate as well as protect our immune system. It allows our bodies to absorb calcium effectively. Deficiency in vitamin D is associated with increased autoimmunity to an increased susceptibility to infection. Vitamin D turns on key peptides in the immune system that triggers a strong anti-microbial response, allowing us to quickly and effectively fight off foreign elements before they can develop into a full-blown infection. Sources of Vitamin D Food – There are few foods that inherently contain vitamin D. In the winter season, it may be necessary to get more of our dose of vitamin D from foods since sunshine is limited. Food Sources of vitamin D are cod liver oil, salmon, mackerel, tuna, beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks. Adding ghee in cooking will make the food rich in vitamin D. Sunlight – Exposure to about five to thirty minutes of sunshine (without using sunscreen) during peak hours I.e. 10 a.m. to 3 p.m, twice a week on our face, hands, and arms are adequate to meet our needs. Remember that the sunscreen with an SPF of 30 can block 95 to 99 percent of vitamin D production. However, after five to thirty minutes of exposure, ensure that a sunblock or a cover-up is applied to prevent damage to the skin.
Do You Know How Your Medicines Take A Toll On Your Nutrition In The Body
Listen To Article [sc_embed_player fileurl=”https://bagdarafarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Apoorva-medicinesaffectingnutrition.mp3″] Prolonged medication over some time can adversely affect health in some ways. It can be responsible for the excretion of certain essential nutrients, interfere with nutrient absorption, and even decreases the body’s ability to convert nutrients into a usable form. These effects are more pronounced in people who take a certain medication over a long period. Different ways of how medicines affect the nutrients in the body – Excessive use of diuretics i.e. water pills is a cause of electrolyte imbalance in the body. People who consume diuretics regularly should make it a point to have more tomatoes and oranges along with their juices, prunes, raisins, bananas, sweet potatoes, and winter squash. Having oral contraceptive pills for a prolonged period sometimes does lead to a deficiency of vitamin C and folic acid in the system. Guavas, oranges, lemon, grapefruits, tomatoes, strawberries, cabbage, and green peppers are excellent sources of vitamin C. There are quite a few drugs that are used to treat gout. Intake of these drugs over some time leads to Vitamin B12 deficiency as these medicines interfere with the absorption of this vitamin in the body. Medicines are taken to treat hypertension, restrict the absorption of vitamin B6 in the body. Consumption of foods like fish, whole grain bread, bananas, potatoes, etc. should be encouraged for obvious reasons. Antacids should not be taken as a matter of routine as they lead to the deficiency of Vitamin D. Intake of antacids causes osteomalacia, i.e softening of bones, especially in women. The calcium in milk and milk products like yogurt and cheese interfere in the absorption of certain antibiotics. These should not be consumed at the same time so as to ensure that the full dosage of the drug is available for adequate treatment of infection. It is further brought out that milk, calcium, and antacids should not be taken together. We should wait for at least two hours before taking these iron supplements. Instead, vitamin C rich foods should be taken along with iron to facilitate absorption of this mineral. Drugs used in chemotherapy significantly induces loss of appetite. The taste sensations get altered, and thus, the food should include more flavourings and seasonings like mint, coriander, turmeric, etc. which are a rich source of antioxidants. Certain anti-inflammatory drugs, apart from distorting taste sensations, are also known to cause heartburn, stomach irritation, indigestion, ulcers, etc. which further leads to poor gut. Probiotics are always recommended as a part of the diet in such cases. Remember that vitamin K rich foods such as green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, coffee, beef, liver, green tea should be strictly avoided while on warfarin drug. These foods can antagonise the anticoagulant effect of this drug.
Hypertension: A Silent Killer
Listen To Article [sc_embed_player fileurl=”https://bagdarafarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/apoorva-hypertension.mp3″] Hypertension is the disease of the modern age and is undoubtedly a very common health concern across the globe. If not addressed in the right earnest, it can lead to major health issues. The adrenaline in the bloodstream increases due to mental tension and worry which in turn, causes the pressure of the blood to rise. The initial symptom may be in the form of pain in the back of the head and neck on waking up in the morning, which soon disappears. The first line of treatment of primary hypertension is by adopting modifications to our lifestyles as well as diets. An overweight and obese individual should try to maintain weight slightly below the normal level and then gradually lose weight with passing time. Apart from maintaining fluid and electrolyte imbalance, the intake of sodium should be reduced. This can be achieved by eating wheat, rice, maize, jowar, bajra or ragi, all kinds of dals, fish, chicken, and toned milk. A person suffering from hypertension should try to lead a healthy lifestyle by avoiding smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol. Needless to mention, physical activity like walking four times a week for forty minutes daily will be beneficial. How Hypertension Can Be Controlled Diet should be nutritious. Consume more fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products with a reduced content of saturated and unsaturated fat. Vegetables in the form of salads should preferably be taken raw. If cooked, it should be ensured that the natural goodness in them is not destroyed while cooking. Cucumber, carrot, tomato, onion, and radish can be taken in the form of salads. Adequate intake of calcium is an essential part of the treatment and this could be ensured through adequate consumption of milk and milk products, green vegetables as well as cereals and pulses. Red meat, eggs, canned foods, baked products as well as canned vegetables tend to increase blood pressure and thus, should be taken occasionally and in moderate quantity. One herb which has proved its potency in lowering blood pressure is garlic. By virtue of its antispasmodic property, it inherently provides immense relief from lack of sensitivity, giddiness, dyspnea, and even formation of gas within. All drugs taken for hypertension are toxic and have side-effects and moreover, they do not remove the cause. The safest way is to follow a well-balanced diet. Meals should be taken in a relaxed atmosphere and ensure that food is chewed well. As far as possible, avoid having dinner late.
Turmeric for Burn Wounds: The Best Natural Remedy
Listen To Article [sc_embed_player fileurl=”https://bagdarafarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/apoorva-wounds.mp3″] At some stage, invariably most of us experience burns in varying degrees. Working in kitchens makes us vulnerable to fire or fire-related accidents which is a very common cause of burns. Industrial burns are another common occurrence where the degree of burns is more severe by virtue of the work associated with industries. Since the body tissues get damaged by burns, they are extremely painful and cause great discomfort. Turmeric is one medicinal plant that has been used since ancient times to be an essential ingredient for the production of drugs. This spice possesses numerous pharmacological properties that can help in treating burns rather effectively. How Turmeric Helps in Treating Burn Wounds Anti-Inflammatory – Burns cause severe inflammation since a lot of inflammatory mediators are released which ultimately leads to pain in the burnt area. To address mild burns, consume turmeric thrice a day in 300mg doses. Antiseptic and Antimicrobial – Patients who have suffered burns are extremely prone to get infected easily. It is thus imperative to administer medicines that antiseptic as well as anti-microbial properties. Using turmeric with sandalwood has proven to be highly beneficial as sandalwood possesses antimicrobial properties that help to eliminate all kinds of bacteria which try to invade the site of injury. ‘Dressings’ made of a combination of neem and turmeric also serves as a primary first aid for minor wounds thereby preventing the wounds from getting susceptible to further infection(s). Wound Healing – Curcumin is an active compound inherently contained in turmeric. It boasts of immense potential to treat both, pain and wounds associated with burns rather effectively. It is a well-known fact that turmeric paste is a very effective remedy for treating burns. That is the reason Grandmas always stored ‘ground’ turmeric at home as it could be used to put on the burnt area as deemed necessary, to get relief in a short span of time. To facilitate faster healing, a paste made of turmeric with milk cream and honey works very well. This is for the simple reason as honey acts as a good moisturising agent, milk cream helps the skin to be soft and turmeric helps in keeping the skin healthy as well as in removing traces of scars if any. Skin Regeneration – As compared to drugs that are non-steroidal in nature, turmeric has the capability to induce fast regeneration of the skin. A mix of turmeric in yoghurt is a very effective remedy as the lactic acid in yogurt and the antioxidants in turmeric can heal minor burns, soothe inflammation, and reduce scarring. Just apply the paste onto the affected area and let it be for about half an hour. Rinse with cold water and see the effect to believe. Thus, buy turmeric powder with a high percentage of curcumin and get help during an unforeseen episode of burns.
Grandmother’s Herb for Winter Season: Turmeric
Listen To Article [sc_embed_player fileurl=”https://bagdarafarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/apoorva-turmericinwinters.mp3″] The relation between the winter season and turmeric powder is as old as civilisation. By virtue of possessing so many medicinal properties, turmeric is an ideal and potent ‘must-have’ during winter. This wonder spice can greatly help us in overcoming the effects of harsh winters and thus, should be on top of anyone’s priority list.

Put one-fourth teaspoon of turmeric powder and cinnamon each along with a green tea bag in a cup. Then pour hot water and stir till the spices are dissolved. Have this to experience a soothing effect. Combats Joint pain – One of the effects of severe winters is the aggravation of joint pain(s) which can complicate issues.

Bugs in Jars During Monsoons, DO NOT WORRY!
Listen To Article [sc_embed_player fileurl=”https://bagdarafarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/apoorva-monsoonbugs.mp3″] The ideal breeding season for insects to grow, spread, and breed are during the monsoons. Since they grow in damp and humid conditions, they reproduce rapidly and it is actually impossible to stop them. Not known to many, weevils are small brown bugs that are commonly found in flour, cereals, grains, or rice. They resemble little grains of rice, are brown in appearance and they move. It is definitely not uncommon to find bugs or rice weevils inside our rice packets. Bugs can ‘invade’ there in two ways. More often than not, they are inherently present inside the packets when we buy them. This is a common phenomenon since bugs lay eggs in the crops and when these crops are harvested, the eggs end up in the package. It would be pertinent to mention that they go largely undetected by the naked eye. In due course of time, the eggs hatch, and then these bugs are visible. Alternately, bugs are known to sneak into the packages when opened and stored at home. Some Recommended Guidelines to Keep our Grains Free of Bugs are – It is always recommended to store the packets/pouches of spices and flour in the freezer for at least four days as soon as these have been procured. This also applies to flour, oats, cookies, cornmeal as well as spices. This small and simple step shall ensure the elimination of all the larvae and eggs present in the packets. This shall stop further infestation. After storing in the freezer, the same could be stored normally. Further, whole wheat flour and brown rice actually benefit from being stored in the freezer since the process of the oils contained in them is significantly slowed from going rancid as they tend to normally do when stored at room temperature for long periods. Storing flours and grains in air-tight containers or in heavy-duty freezer bags greatly prevents moisture from contaminating these. Secondly, it should be ensured that new and fresh food should never be added to the old. Containers should always be cleaned thoroughly before refilling. Affected or contaminated foods should be got rid of immediately. Needless to mention, apart from the containers, even the storage places where food is handled, should be cleaned regularly and religiously. The simplest and most potent way to eliminate rice weevils is by completely emptying the storage places/facilities and containers where larvae have been detected. These should be then collected in plastic bags so as to contain them and prevent them from spreading further. It is common knowledge that it should be ensured that only dry and clean grain should be stored. Even a minuscule differential of the content of moisture can make a significant difference in enhancing the probability of infestation of insects. The ideal moisture content for grains during storage is twelve to thirteen percent. Most of the insects or bugs that make their way in grains need thirteen to fifteen percent moisture for optimal feeding as well as reproduction. Weevils are generally known to be harmless to humans, clothing, pets, furniture as well as houses. They do not have the capability to sting or bite and also do not carry diseases. Alternatively, organic rice possesses greater nutritional value, taste, and of course, offers better health. Moreover, the process of its production does not cause damage to the environment.
All The Hype About Gluten-Free Diet! Should You Follow?
Listen To Article [sc_embed_player fileurl=”https://bagdarafarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/gluten-free-hype.mp3″] We all witness the market getting flooded with gluten-free foods these days. Why is it so that people today are inclining towards a gluten-free diet so much so that the restaurant menu cards also provide gluten-free menu separately? It is so because the research has shown that gluten ingestion may not be healthy for bodies. What is Gluten? How does it affect our Bodies? Here’s an answer to all such queries of yours. What is Gluten? Let’s begin with the understanding of what gluten is? Gluten is a type of protein found in some grains like wheat, barley, rye, etc. Gluten is responsible for keeping the food in shape because it acts as a glue that holds the food together. Gluten is made up of two parts; glutenin and gliadin. Of the two, the latter cause more ill effects on health. The sticky gluey property of gluten is evident when water is added to wheat and it becomes sticky and chewy in nature and appearance. The word gluten is also supposedly derived from “glue” owing to its sticky nature. Should I Be Bothered About Gluten? Yes. If not bothered, then at least concerned. “Gluten is the only protein found in food that is completely indigestible. Its indestructible molecules can slip through the intestinal lining and cause inflammation in the intestines of people with celiac disease, according to the Mayo Clinic.” as sourced from an article from Lifescience.com. While Adda Bjarnadottir, MS in her article published in Medical News Today says “Gluten can cause problems for people with certain health conditions. This includes celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, wheat allergy, and some other diseases”. However, there are other problems that may be caused due to gluten such as gastric irritation and bloating. Gluten being the indigestible protein remains undigested in the stomach. This eventually causes weight gain, bloating, gastric problems, etc. As sourced from Paleoleap.com, wheat problems aren’t restricted to celiac resistant people. It’s not just gluten but also Wheat Germ Agglutinin and Amylase Trypsin Inhibitors that cause problems invariable of the amount of wheat consumed. There are problems other than gut inflammation and disrupted metabolism. The problem proteins in wheat can cause a problem as severe as immune disruption. Bottom line- Celiac Intolerant or not, wheat proteins do the harm we aren’t aware of. Hence, a gluten-free diet may be a good start to a healthy guilt-free life!

Give Someone the Gift of Health Products
The season of gifting has dawned upon us. Mimicking Christmas, Eid, Diwali and New Year have also in recent times seen an increased trend in the area of exchanging gifts. From boxes of sweets to dry fruits to baskets of chocolate to money envelopes, the usual gifts have become so predictable over the past few years that their novelty has somewhat faded. However, a new generation of health conscious people has taken matters into their hands. The sugary treats have been replaced by healthier no-sugar goodies like anjeer barfis and sugar-free chocolate coated almonds. Hampers of herbal teas in pretty wooden boxes and baskets of exotic healthy foods like chia seeds, quinoa and low fat cookies are seen more often than not on gift tables. The growing awareness about weight related health problems and the importance of living a healthy life has led to this most positive change in people’s attitude. Even though the idea of giving a healthy gift is very alluring, it is still quite a task to figure out what to give. The health benefits of curcumin have been discussed for the longest time. In a line of healthy foods and supplements, curcumin supplements find themselves at a very high spot owing to their very many health benefits. Curcumin is a very strong antioxidant. It inhibits the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that cause oxidative stress or free radicals. Oxidative stress is associated with premature aging, blood vessel disorders etc. As a result skin disorders, different forms of cancer, liver diseases, thyroid related diseases etc. are kept at bay. The anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin have been spoken about in many research journals. One such example is a study conducted by Julie S. Jurenka. In this study Ms. Jurenka has talked about how curcumin can modulate the body’s inflammatory response by reducing the activity of COX2, lipoxygenase and inducible nitric oxide synthase enzymes. It also stops the production of cytokines. Curcumin is a potent antimicrobial as well. This makes it a super healer in skin diseases.
