We have often been told to eat healthy, cut down on snacks and monitor calorie intake. But honestly, it is quite a task. The commitment to a healthy diet and lifestyle lasts only a few days. While many may believe that only a few can maintain a healthy lifestyle on a day-to-day basis, nutritionist Lovneet Batra refuses to agree and calls it a “misconception.” According to her, “When it comes to health, you need not look beyond your kitchen shelves.” The nutritionist has often highlighted superfoods and their impeccable health benefits. Now, it is time for some Indian super drinks, which are an easy way to stay healthy.
Lovneet Batra says, “What we drink can be more powerful in making or breaking our health than what we eat. So, find your tonic and sip it.” Take a look at these “desi super drinks”.
