Healthy Heart Rotis | Healthy Heart Parathas

Rotis and Parathas for a healthy heart. rotis and parathas for heart patients and those with high cholesterol | is paratha good for heart patients? are rotis good for heart patients?  the answer is yes. Good-for-the-heart ingredients like methi, soya, garlic, flaxseeds etc. are used together with healthy flours like bajra flour, whole wheat flour, ragi flour and jowar flour in a very innovative way to make delicious, satiating and heart-friendly rotis and parathas.

These rotis and parathas are not only cooked using minimum oil but are also designed carefully, giving priority to ingredients that are good for the heart. You can serve these with subzi and dal, or with just a bowl of low-fat curds and healthy chutneys, to make a nutritious and satisfying meal.

5 important points to follow for healthy rotis and parathas for heart patients and Indian patients with high cholesterol

  1. use less oil, butter and ghee to make rotis and parathas
  2. use good-for-the-heart ingredients like methi, oats, soya, garlic, flaxseeds
  3. use low fat paneer instead of full fat paneer in your parathas
  4. avoid usage of maida in rotis and parathas. use whole wheat flour, bajra flour, jowar flour , ragi flour to make your rotis parathas. Being high in Fibre, Jowar reduces bad cholesterol (LDL) and increases the effects of good cholesterol (HDL). Being high in Fibre, Bajra reduces bad cholesterol (LDL) and increases the effects of good cholesterol (HDL).  Ragi flour is rich in Magnesium. 100 grams of Ragi have 137 milligrams of Magnesium which is 50% of your recommend daily allowance (RDA) and good for heart. Being high in Fibre, Ragi benefits to reduce bad cholesterol (LDL).
  5. minimise usage of potatoes as they will push your blood sugar levels up

What causes your heart to not work correctly?

There are 5 basic reasons why we have heart issues.

1. Belly fat : The more belly fat you have, the higher the risk of a heart attack. This shows wrong food habits, bad quality vegetable oil, sugar, maida, cornflour excess etc create this problem. High blood pressure in a major problem for your heart and also uncontrolled diabetes. Your diabetes is not solved by just popping pills.

You need to change the way you eat. Wrong foods eaten lead to the inflammation of the arteries of your heart. Blockages in the arteries Blockages lead to heart attack and that is so easy to fix as simple as eating healthy. Remove inflammation in your body.

2. Eating processed foods : Avoid junk food and follow simple basic home cooked food. Stay away from refined vegetable oils. Opt for unfrefined oils like olive oil, coconut oil. You could also have cold pressed peanut oil in your cooking as that is available in India.  Eat a healthy pyaz wali bhindi sabzi instead of going for a deep fried option.

Also remember to wash your hands before you eat as they can carry infections. Your hands have opened doors, pressed lift buttons etc where others with infection may have touched them before. Thats how a virus can spread. 

3. Always be active and get your exercises in : Yes, want a healthy heart then put in the effort. Even if you have a one hour workout and you are sitting for the next 9 hours, then your one hour workout is almost useless.  Inactivity, sedentary lifestyle or sitting too long is the number one cause of inflammation and poor blood circulation in your system. Your heart needs two things, the right nutrients (eating wisely) and oxygen and both these are carried by your blood circulation. Blood circulation happens with movement. If your are in your office, then try and sit on a stool without a back rest and that will make you use your core and fire up your body. That is why we find new age workers wanting to stand at times the whole day while working at their desk.

Blood circulation is at its lowest when we are sitting or sedentary. 2 hours of watching TV may reduce heart healthy by 13% to 15% says Harvard study. There is a way to watch TV. Get up from your TV or pause and walk around or even better do some basic exrecises while watching TV. If you had an active day then nothing will happen by watching TV for 2 hours.

 

4. Smoking and Stress : The two s's. Common senses is stay away from your puff. Regarding stress, more stress makes more cortisol which creates more inflammation. That swells your arteries over time and leasds to a heart attack. Sort your stress out.

5. Lack of sleep : Your body needs 8 hours sleep. Sleep depravation and inflammation are linked with one another.

If you are sleep deprived, then you are compromising your heart health. Stress is also a big issue for heart attack. More stress makes more cortisol which creates more inflammation.
