Jewel of Nizam- the Minar in  The Golkonda Resort-Gandipet  is a must visit for someone who is not from Hyderabad. A 100 feet tall tower restaurant, it has an amazingly crafted decor that gives Nawabi feeling and over here you can experience and indulge yourself in the authentic Nizami  cuisines. The ambience is serene with the sparkling view of Osman Sagar lake.  Talking about the food - The food is just yum.  As I have already said the real taste of Hyderabadi cuisines can be found only in this place.  Minar-e-khaas kebab platter is a must try. You will get an assortment of kebabs in a single platter. And not to mention the Murgh dum biriyani- when you are in Hyderabad, Biriyani is a must try.

Proper diet comes from healthy eating and thus you all are rushing to the supermarkets to buy those "natural products".   But before buying , as a consumer you all should know, understand and check the food labels prescribed by Food Safety and Standards Authority of India(FSSAI).

Hola!! Everyone out there talks about the health risks of alcohol. Well, daily consumption is actually bad for health.But you know what, low to moderate consumption actually has few benefits. According to a  Harvard Study  , "moderate drinking" refers to "no more than one to two drinks per day for men and one drink for women".  Moderate consumption of alcohol helps reduce the chances of cardiac arrest, reduces memory loss as you start aging, keeps you free from chronic illness and helps in digestion if you have a glass of alcohol before a meal.. So cheers to the"Moderate Drinkers" out there!!☺☺ #Beahealthyfoodie

Potato Story!

Hey all! You all have a common belief that consuming potatoes leads to weight gain.Well! Let me tell you consuming 1 potato(whether mashed or baked) per day provides good source of potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C and a good amount of fiber. It prevents cancer, improve digestion and reduces cholesterol level. It has tuber storage protein"Patatin" that exhibit activity against free radicals. Again, over consuming of potatoes is not at all recommended..Also Potato chips and French fries are loaded with butter, oil, cheese and cream. Deep fry and high fat lead to weight gain and can lead to heart problems as well. So avoid eating Deep fried potatoes  and go and grab some potatoes from the market to bake or boil it at home!! Be a healthy foodie!!☺❤
