Here are some protein packed ingredients which are sure to help you raise your protein levels.
* Dairy products: Dairy products like milk, curds, cottage cheese and buttermilk are the richest sources of protein.
* Dals and pulses: Dals and pulses are extremely good sources of protein. Consume at least 2 cups of any of the cooked dals or pulses to cure protein deficiency quickly. These dals and pulses if consumed in combination with cereals like wheat, bajra, jowar, ragi etc. make a complete protein in itself. Steam rice and South Indian dishes are the most common made with a combination of rice (a cereal) and dal (a pulse).
* Sprouts: Sprouts are extremely good sources of protein. Sprouting mot only makes the digestion easy but also increases the nutrient content. If you are not very fond of sprouts, try the mouth-watering recipe.
* Nuts and Oilseeds: Nuts and oilseeds like cashewnuts, almonds, sesame seeds (til), groundnuts etc. are also good sources of protein. However, keep in mind that the nuts and oilseeds in excess amount are not healthy due to their high saturated fatty acids. So we must indulge in them sensibly.
Foods to be Avoided
* Tea and coffee
* Refined foods, deep fried foods
* Aerated drinks
