The Importance of Taste for a Healthy Living

by Vaibhav Pandya General Manager at MISHTANN Foods Limited

Working out in the gym and building a muscular body is a trend that is picking up like a forest fire for good. But how many of us know that for a fit physique and a healthy body, the diet carries an importance as great as 70% and exercise, 30%. It is also that both are a magical combination if followed regularly with discipline. But the importance of a healthy diet rich in nutrients, minerals and vitamins has been emphasised upon time and again by renowned athletes including bodybuilders.

Even then, the inclination to stick to a diet plan for maintenance of good health seems a far off idea to implement. Foodies find it more difficult. And nobody is a yogi who having transcended the worldly desires and can resist and brush aside the temptations of taste!

And that is why the chefs at Mishtann have taken it up on themselves to offer us recipes and dishes that are healthy, nutritious and at the same time, tasty too!

Here is a non-vegetarian dish Chicken and Shrimp Salad to bombard you with taste and health. And of course, Happiness!
