DAY 3 | THIS... INSTEAD OF...
Pumpkin Seeds or Almonds?
Both are nutritious, but they shine in different ways. Almonds are rich in vitamin E, while pumpkin seeds pack more magnesium and zinc.
So, which one deserves a spot on your plate? The answer: both!
Enjoy a variety of nuts and seeds to get a wider range of nutrients. Do you prefer almonds or pumpkin seeds? Tell us in the comments!

DAY 1 | HEALTH BENEFITS OF HORSE GRAM
Horse gram is a traditional pulse packed with goodness.
Remember to soak horse gram before cooking to help soften it and make it easier to digest. Pressure-cooking or cooking it thoroughly can further improve its texture and digestibility.
Have you tried horse gram at home? What’s your favourite way to include it in a meal? Share your recipe or idea with us!
