Weight loss: It helps regulate appetite and aids in weight loss. It’s a low-calorie item that’s devoid of harmful and unhealthy fats. It’s likely to keep you full for longer.
Sharing insights into the nutritional profile of the snack, CV Aishwarya, a clinical nutritionist and lecturer at Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, , told indianexpress.com that green peas are rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and antioxidants such as polyphenols, which help regulate blood sugar, support digestion, and reduce oxidative stress.
“Paneer, a dairy product high in casein protein, provides essential amino acids and is a great source of calcium and phosphorus, aiding in bone strength and muscle maintenance. It also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has been associated with improved body composition and metabolic health,” she said.
According to her, ginger, known for its bioactive compounds like gingerols and shogaols, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It supports digestion, reduces nausea, and improves insulin sensitivity, which is beneficial in managing type 2 diabetes.
Aishwarya added that green chillies, rich in capsaicin, can boost metabolism, enhance fat oxidation, and provide a strong dose of vitamin C, promoting immune function. Oats powder, high in beta-glucan (a soluble fiber), helps lower LDL cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar levels, and improve satiety, contributing to heart and metabolic health.
Lastly, she added that ghee (clarified butter) is a source of healthy fats and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), and contains butyrate—a short-chain fatty acid known to support gut health and reduce inflammation.
