We’ve come far and long from the days where healthy eating means Caesar salads and grilled chicken. It’s 2017 and the demand for both healthy and hearty meals are on the rise. Some reach out for them to achieve their yearly fitness goals but others just want to get onboard the healthy-eating trend — not forgetting that some of these meals are pretty colourful, making for a good Instagram post.
Entrepreneurs and chefs are always on the constant lookout for innovative ways to improve healthy dining. And with the amount of healthy food substitutes shared across the internet, eating healthy gets easier. It’s certainly not hard to achieve at home: Just swapping your regular white rice to quinoa or replace pasta with zoodles (zucchini strips) are great alternatives.
Yet not many seem to know what exactly is healthy food. Generally, it is to eat nutritious and well-balanced meals that gives you energy, maintains your health and to let you look and feel good. You can do so by eating the right amount of proteins, carbohydrates, fiber and calcium. Be smart and conscious of your food choices and don’t fall for the ‘fast food gimmick’ that’s easy and fast to get.

Vegetarian Gujarati cuisine served at The Ganga Cafe is cooked with heart and where no MSG and artificial food colouring is added. We suggest going for their Sunday brunch buffet that starts at 10am until 3pm for only RM16.
