People in India are shifting to plant-based diets and reducing their overall consumption of animal-based products. Plant-based diets are gaining popularity for health reasons and environmental concerns because that encompasses animal welfare. Those who follow such a diet often worry about getting enough protein, especially since several types of meat and dairy products that are high in protein.
Pantry staples such as lentils, almonds and millets are all rich sources of plant protein and can be regularly consumed as part of a healthy, wholesome diet. Almonds are not only nutrition powerhouses but are versatile in their usage and add a unique texture to a variety of dishes – be it sweet or savory. Almonds are an excellent source of plant-based protein and can be consumed in many ways: almond milk, almond flour, raw, roasted, lightly salted etc.
Integrative Nutritionist and Health Coach Neha Ranglani said, “Research shows that almonds, which are a source of protein and high in dietary fibre, can help in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, may improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes, and help lower the blood sugar impact of carbohydrate foods, which affects fasting insulin levels.”
