Nutritional Benefits of Paneer Roti with ADF Pickles & Chutneys
Paneer Roti:
-
Excellent Source of Protein – Paneer is a rich source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle growth, repair, and overall body functions. Protein plays a vital role in cellular repair, enzymatic reactions, and immune function. Regular consumption of protein-rich foods like paneer supports strength, enhances endurance, and aids in post-workout recovery by preventing muscle breakown.
-
Boosts Bone Health – Paneer is packed with calcium, which is crucial for maintaining strong bones and teeth. Calcium is an essential mineral that supports bone density, nerve signaling, and muscle contractions. A diet rich in calcium, along with vitamin D, helps prevent osteoporosis and reduces the risk of fractures, especially in aging individuals.
-
Enhances Digestion – The combination of whole wheat and paneer provides dietary fiber and probiotics, promoting gut health and aiding digestion. Whole wheat flour is high in insoluble fiber, which supports bowel regularity and prevents constipation. Paneer, made from milk, contains beneficial probiotics that foster a healthy gut microbiome, improving nutrient absorption and reducing digestive discomfort.
-
Sustained Energy Release – The whole wheat in paneer roti contains complex carbohydrates that provide a slow and steady release of energy, keeping you full and active for longer. Unlike simple carbohydrates that cause blood sugar spikes, complex carbs digest slowly, preventing energy crashes and keeping you fueled throughout the day. This makes paneer roti an excellent meal option for sustained stamina and productivity.
ADF Pickles & Chutneys:
-
Support Gut Health – Naturally fermented pickles provide probiotics that enhance digestion and maintain a healthy gut microbiome.
-
Boost Immunity – The antioxidant-rich ingredients in ADF Pickles and Chutneys, such as turmeric, cumin, and fenugreek, help strengthen the immune system and fight harmful free radicals.
-
Aid Digestion – The carefully selected spices, including ginger, garlic, and asafoetida, stimulate digestive enzymes, promoting efficient metabolism and reducing acidity.
