News India Live, Digital Desk: Nowadays most of the people are facing protein deficiency due to busy life and unbalanced eating habits. Protein is the most essential nutrient for our body’s muscle repair, hair strength and better immunity. Often people believe that one has to depend only on supplements or non-veg for protein, but experts have termed this notion as wrong. A famous doctor has revealed those 5 special things present in the Indian plate, by adopting which you can increase the protein level in the body rapidly without any expensive powder.1. Magical confluence of pulses and beans: Pulses are the primary source of protein in Indian households. According to the doctor, pigeon pea, moong, lentils and urad pulses contain abundant amounts of amino acids. If you include one to two bowls of pulses in your diet daily, it proves to be very helpful in muscle development. Apart from this, chickpeas, kidney beans and black gram are also considered powerhouses of protein. Eating them sprouted doubles their nutritional value.2. Paneer and Tofu: A boon for vegetarians. Paneer is not only wonderful for taste but also for health. Doctors recommend that if you go to the gym or do heavy physical work, raw cheese can be the best snack for you. At the same time, for those who are lactose intolerant or follow a vegan diet, ‘tofu’ (soy paneer) is a great option. It contains low calories and high protein, which is also helpful in weight loss.3. Curd and buttermilk: Protein along with digestion. Consuming curd and buttermilk in the summer season not only keeps the body cool but also fulfills the protein deficiency. According to the doctor, Greek yogurt or homemade thick curd is rich in probiotics, which smoothen the metabolism. By taking a glass of buttermilk or a bowl of curd with lunch, the body easily gets the necessary nutrition.4. Superfood incarnation of nuts and seedsNuts like almonds, walnuts and peanuts not only boost the brain but are also rich sources of protein. The doctor says that eating a handful of roasted peanuts or almonds soaked overnight provides energy to the body. Apart from this, eating pumpkin seeds and chia seeds in smoothies or salads is a smart way to increase protein.5. Soy and quinoa: More meat on a lower budget Large soybean or soya chunks are called ‘poor man’s meat’ because they contain the same amount of protein as meat. Doctors give special advice to include it in the diet. At the same time, grains like Quinoa are also becoming a part of the Indian kitchen, in which all 9 essential amino acids are found. These things are not only easy to digest, but also provide internal strength to the body.
