How Makhana Boosts Brain Health and Mental Well-being

In the fast-paced world we live in, keeping up the brain in its optimal health condition has become all the more important. Collaterally, students preparing for exams to professionals with high-stress jobs are searching for answers to enhance cognitive functions and mental well-being. While artificial supplements are preferred by many, nature has granted us an amazing gift: makhana, also called fox nuts or lotus seeds. A superfood steeped in Ayurveda, makhana is a nutritional powerhouse for brain health, memory, and overall mental well-being. Let us see how makhana can really change your life when it comes to your brain.

Rich in Brain-Boosting Nutrients The human body loses a great deal of water by sweating in summer, leading to dehydration and fatigue. Since Makhana is high in potassium, it helps maintain fluid balance in the body and prevents dehydration. Makhana snack is very low in sodium and will not induce water retention or bloat like salty snacks. This makes it a light and refreshing snack.

Supports Cognitive Function On certain occasions, antioxidant-laden foods significantly counteract cognitive decline and age-related deterioration in the brain. Makhana is a rich source of flavonoids and several other antioxidants known for their ability to fight oxidative stress and thus provide a shield against damage to brain-cells. Such agents are also protective against degenerative diseases of the brain such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, making makhana highly suitable for the maintenance of long-term health for the brain.

Reduces Stress and Anxiety Stress and anxiety that persists for a long time rob the person of any peace of mind and may manifest into burnout symptoms and incapacity to work. Makhana contains amino acids responsible for triggering the synthesis of serotonin, the feel-good neurotransmitter. Regular consumption of makhana can modulate moods, inhibit anxiety, and establish general emotional balance. Magnesium is another mineral with natural relaxant properties that soothe the nervous system and help one sleep well.

Enhances Memory and Focus Whether you are a student or a professional, mental clarity and memory are very important for attaining anything worthwhile in life. Makhana improves one's cognitive abilities due to the presence of thiamine (Vitamin B1) in it. Thus, it helps retain information and focus for extended hours. Makhana is a natural brainfood and especially useful in stressful times like during examinations or juggling many difficult projects.

Improves Sleep Quality The effects of sleep deprivation are very harmful to the brain, which could otherwise be assisting memory and mood stability and concentration. Makhana, due to some of its alkaloids and antioxidants, helps relaxation and regulates sleep cycles. A handful of makhana consumed an hour before bedtime will allow deep sleep for the brain to take a power nap and rise with all energies intact.

Prevents Inflammation in the Brain The list of things that could lead to cognitive decline and brain disorders includes inflammation. The flavonoids and phytochemicals in makhana can attenuate inflammation, thus protecting neurons from damage. If you include makhana in your diet, it might be able to protect the brain against chronic inflammation associated with conditions like depression and memory loss.

Boosts Energy Levels Without Caffeine Many people are inclined to resort to caffeine or sugary snacks in a feeble attempt to keep themselves awake and alert during the day; unfortunately, these are often responsible for energy crashes and adverse health effects in the long term. Makhana supplies energy without any jitteriness, unlike caffeine. Makhana is rich in complex carbohydrates and protein, thereby naturally promoting hours of mental alertness free of harmful side effects it an ideal snack. How to Incorporate Makhana into Your Diet Making it a part of your daily foods will be just so simple and delicious. Here are a few easy methods to enjoy this brain booster of a snack: ● Roast the makhana with a pinch of salt and pepper for a crunchy and nutritious bite. ● Mix it with nuts and seeds for a quick power-packed trail mix. ● Put it in curries and soups to give them a bit of texture and flavor. ● Blend it in smoothies for another nutrient kick. Makhana is more than just a healthy snack; it is a brain-boosting superfood that supports cognitive function, reduces stress, enhances memory, and promotes mental well-being. Instead of going for those unhealthy, processed snacks, one option would be adding makhana to the diet as a natural and effective way to nourish the brain. And yes, makhana has amazing contributions to health and nutrition, so it rightly occupies a place in daily consumption.

✨THE FOLLY OF LIVING A DOUBLE LIFE. ⁉️What do I mean by a double life? This is when a person leads two different lives that are kept separate from each other, usually because one of them involves a secret or often unscrupulous activities. ➡️When you are one way with a certain group of people or in a particular place but another way with another group of people or place, you are LIVING AND LEADING A DOUBLE LIFE. 💎I spent the greater part of today meditating about why people chose to lead double lives. As a Christian leader and Total Transformation Life Coach, I have seen many cases of double living. 📌Quiet and submissive in the office; spiteful and cantankerous in the home. 📌Dignified and righteous in a religious setting; narcissistic and mean spirited at home. 📌Decent and simple dresser in the day time; sexy vixen at night. You get the picture now, right? I struggle to find any long term benefit to living a double life but I found one common denominator with all the people who choose to live this kind of life. 📌SELF ACCEPTANCE. ➡️Many people struggle to accept the way they are and instead of getting help, they have another persona that is an outlet for them to be that person they don’t identify with. 📣That’s why I am a firm believer in personal mastery. It starts with facing the truth about yourself and recognizing the areas you need help like anger issue, addiction, fear of abandonment, low self esteem, gender crisis, sexual perversion, kleptomaniac issues, etc. ➡️Pretending will not help you because you cannot sustain that pretense for a lifetime. Hiding your flaws will not help either because it will only get worse. ➡��Get the help you need to be able to work out the issues you have and choose to live a wholesome life rather than a double one. 💜Don’t struggle on your own any longer. Let God in and let Him help you. He knows all. I’m able to live a wholesome life today because of Jesus Christ. You can too.

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins- Gluten Free and Dairy Free

Eventhough my Detox is over, I find myself still following the guidelines of that diet. I went on a detox solely to find out what made me break out in hives randomly. I cut out dairy and gluten amongst other things. I’m happy to report I have not taken a Zyrtec in over 2 months! Yay me! 

I’ve continued to eliminate dairy and most gluten. I’m not allergic to gluten , nor do I have celiac disease. This is solely a personal choice for me. 

I wanted something chocolatey but not full of sugar, so I gathered my gluten free flours and choose a few to make this.  

 See the recipe below. 

 What I used:

1 cup of ground fine rolled oats

1/2 cup brown rice flour

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

1 tsp of baking soda

1/2 tsp salt  

1/2 tsp cinnamon  

1/3 cup sugar

1 large egg

1/3 cup of canola oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 very ripe bananas

1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips

 What I did: 

Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl.  

Mash up your bananas in a separate bowl with a fork. Add the egg and oil to the bowl with the bananas. Mix it.

Add the banana mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the chocolate chips. Lightly mix just until the dry and wet ingredients are combined.  

Fill muffin tins 3/4 of the way up. This makes 12 muffins. 

Bake at 350 until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. Maybe about 15-20 minutes. 

Bon Appetit!

anyone else's bones feelin' february-stiff these days? it seems to be the static season of 'i feel like i haven't stopped working since the new year' sentiment. i used to plow through commitments only to register exhaustion & stress after the fact - then something tiny could tip me right over the edge & i'd have to take salvaging measures to cope with illness or burnout. this winter finally has been better for me than most previous ones were, because even though there is still so much to do, i have been lovingly vicious🔥about protecting my body & mental health. past winters were a total struggle bus in contrast. SO just in case it helps anyone else, here's a lil reminder (which i write to myself too) that you are allowed !!! to use time & resources to be "unproductive" in the capitalist sense but productive in the loving-oneself senses -- some yoga, some humming under a warm shower, some cat naps or pushups; eating fresh green steamed broccoli; taking x minutes to call & chat or vent with a friend; using a bite of time just to daydream; physically putting away your phone or laptop to do something "analog" instead (that's a big one); sharing a kind gesture with a loved one or stranger, just to see joy ignite. there is enough time !!! to be slow & tender, to ask for help or hug, to pursue confidence boost or reality check. & if you can't cope with a challenge right when it arises, if you have to backpedal, that doesn't mean you are instantly dysfunctional or weak or a failure, because it's never too late to tackle something. wintertime can be sneakily tough on minds and bodies. please be viciously loving toward your self! #selfrespect #payingattention #winter #february #selflove #selfloveclub #slowdown #wholesomeliving #2018mood #anticapitalistlovenotes #enoughtime #generosityofspirit
