It becomes more common that early morning green tea gives us a fresh start, a healthy, and anti-oxidant-filled one. About the last part, it is not true as the anti-oxidant content of green tea is high. As a matter of fact, the Anti-oxidant content of green tea is 1mmol ONLY.

Two commonly available foods which contain a high level of anti-oxidant are Mint leaves and Indian gooseberry.

ANTI-OXIDANT CONTENT 

Indian gooseberry = 51mmol

Mint leaves= 103 mmol.

If drinking tea is giving you freshness and a clear mind I agree with drinking tea. But in searching for nutrition and antioxidant, I disagree. Green tea lack anti-oxidant and the nutritional value is also small tiny content only. I show a green signal to MATCHA green tea as it is grown shadowed by sunlight, it increases the metabolism of the body and lower your cholesterol level, very useful in a weight loss program. Yes, green tea also does the same job but in very very small quantity becomes insignificant.

My suggestion to you is to eat 2-3 Indian gooseberry and mint leaves once a week. There are various recipes are present for making mint leaves into foods, Most common one is mint leaves chutney as it is easy to make and so good for your health. Other recipes are mint lassi, mint leaves pannacotta, pudina rice, and Grilled minted chicken.

As a general rule don't just buy the things that are displayed in the supermarket that are flashy, in the sale, discount as they are not good for your health. Let we just talk about MAIDA. Maida is the content with every biscuit and pastries. Have you ever searched side effects of maida on google? I will create a separate blog for that in a few weeks. There is plenty of foods that have high nutritional value in our country and our community. For example, let's just say you are attracted by a foreign fruit avocado with its high MUFA(monounsaturated fatty acid) content. It cost Rs.124/per fruit.

But, the normally available Groundnut is far superior content to Avocado. As Groundnut contains more MUFA. It is so easy to pick some specific information online and say it contains this and that. Far more superior foods, cereals, and nuts are available in our locality before choosing anything to eat just learn about it after all it is our health only in be in line.
