The ongoing quarantine period has been a bit of dietary challenge with hunger pangs striking at any time of the day which means eating more than our regular appetite or eating out of boredom in lockdown. Add to that, fluctuating temperaments too lead to food cravings which then pull us to eat whatever packaged junk is available at home or even cook unhealthy options.
Since foods that are high in salt and sugar will only increase our urge to eat more, it is very important to not only be mindful of what we eat but also be conscious of not overtaxing our digestive system. To douse those unhealthy cravings, check out this recipe of Wild Gooey which enhances the nutrition value of an old favourite by marrying daily nutrient requirements with food cravings and is sure to uplift one’s mood in a jiffy.
