Thought of the century

Do not worry about those who have come thru boats...
Our forces can easily defeat them.

WORRY about those who have come thru votes....
Those are our REAL ENEMIES

Chick...

... oh not really, but I am talking about chick peas!!! It has loads of nutritional benefits. To name a few:

  • It has high fiber, useful for prevention of heart diseases. Also useful for preventing constipation and IBS.
  • It has (bad or the LDL) cholesterol lowering effects
  • It has high amount of proteins
  • It has good amount of Iron. But it's best consumed with a fruit or a glass of fruit juice, high in Vitamin C for the body to absorb the iron properly.
  • Zinc - for wound healing, preventing body odour etc
  • It balances blood sugar levels and at the same time gives our body, energy at a steady rate
  • Has magnesium for cardiovascular benefits
  • Folate for anemia etc
  • Manganese - for energy and antioxidant
  • Has reasonable amounts of Calcium as well

Research says that canned chick peas are almost as good as fresh ones. And it's easy to prepare. Channa masala is a good example. It can be consumed with just a little salt and chilly powder. Add a little bit of turmeric which has it's own fantastic properties.

So there is every reason this can be included on almost daily basis.
