Benefits of south Indian food that doesn’t affect your resolution for healthy diet

So before we tell you about making new year plans with south Indian food, we would tell you why! Because there should be reason behind leaving aside pizza and changing your cuisine for your new year plans, right? Hence, here are some benefits of south Indian food that you need to consider in mind.

  • South Indian food is highly rich in protein. Be it anything starting from dosa, sambhar, and idli; you will find it rich in protein. This will turn out to be the best option for health conscious people. The plus point with this plan is that you will not gain calories. It’s like having a cheat day without actually having a cheat diet.
  • The reason why everyone loves south Indian food is because of its fiber content. The fibre makes the food easily digestible without leaving any sign of flatulence. So, your new year is definitely not going to leave you bloated on the very first day of 2019.
  • South Indian food gets easily digested, so in case you want to eat more yummies, you can always have room for it. It gets digested super soon and doesn’t make you lazy or lethargic.
  • One of the most prominent characteristics of south Indian food is that it is perfect diet if you want to lose weight. You can actually binge on south Indian food or snacks and feel totally okay about your body weight.
