Fox nuts are harvested from a plant called Euryale Fox, a very common lotus in Eastern Asia. These are often complemented in many Indian sweets, curries, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nutritious_benefits_of_Makhana\"><\/span><strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nutritious benefits of Makhana:<\/span><\/u><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Not only are makhanas known for their taste and ease of consumption, but their nutritious value is of utmost importance as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1. Fox nuts are low in sugar, with around 0.1 grams of sugar, 9.7 grams of protein, 0.1 grams of fat, 76.9 grams of carbohydrates and 14.5 grams of fiber per 100 grams of Makhana. This high protein content helps one to regulate frequent cravings and, hence, can benefit one in weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. The amount of protein is relatively high and comparable with 13 grams of proteins available from an egg. Therefore, a bowl of Makhana could be an excellent alternative for vegetarians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3. Makhanas are an essential source of calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus in reasonably substantial amounts. Calcium is a micronutrient needed for bone health and teeth. In contrast, magnesium is required for metabolism as it is a co-factor in the body&#8217;s varied anabolic and catabolic biochemical reactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4. Foxnuts are known to have a relatively lower glycemic index. Therefore, it ensures that glucose is released into the blood more slowly, thus keeping one full for an extended period, preventing over-eating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5. Even though negligible, a few vitamins are also present in fox nuts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">From the nutritional breakdown, we can understand that makhanas are good for <a href=\"https:\/\/diet4uwellness.com\/service\/weight-loss-diet-plan\">weight loss<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Makhana_in_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Makhana in Weight Loss:<\/span><\/u><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Weight loss is possible mainly in a few different ways<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1. One is food consumption in a calorie deficit manner, that is, consuming a calorie count less than the optimal calorie needed by the body&#8217;s normal functioning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. Second is eating high-fiber food options. Dietary fiber options help reduce the appetite and maintain a healthy gut bacteria population. Hence, fox nuts can be used for weight loss, especially for those trying to target their belly fat area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3. The <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">low-fat content in fox nuts<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0ensures that the body breaks down the already present fat reserves stored in the body, thus promoting weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4. Additionally<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, makhanas are low in cholesterol<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and are gluten-free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In this 21st century, where most of the youth are becoming gluten resistant, and the rest try and voluntarily avoid gluten from their daily diet, Makhana poses a tremendous munchable option. Gluten is a protein constituent in wheat, barley and rye. Gluten consumption often irritates the gut health of people allergic to gluten, hence leading to celiac disease. Therefore, as fox nuts are originally gluten-free, one can easily consume makhanas instead of spending vast amounts on special gluten-free bread, pasta, noodles, etc. The mid-day cravings we often experience can be easily curbed by a bowl of lightly roasted makhanas. The makhanas could also be tossed in a teaspoon of ghee, which would contribute to the diet&#8217;s good fats and high fiber and protein content from the Makhana itself. This high protein and fiber content gives one the feeling of &#8220;being full&#8221;; hence, the recurrent overeating tendency is checked, thus contributing to organic weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read about<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jowar_Benefits_Nutrition_Recipes_Uses\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/diet4uwellness.com\/blog\/jowar-benefits-nutrition-recipes-uses\/\">Jowar: Benefits, Nutrition, Recipes &amp; Uses<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_incorporate_Makhana_in_the_regular_diet_for_weight_loss\"><\/span><strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to incorporate Makhana in the regular diet for weight loss<\/span><\/u><\/strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:<\/span><\/u><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">incorporate makhanas as a daily part of snacks<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, one can consider having either of the following options-<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1. <\/span><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Soaked overnight in water:<\/span><\/u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fox nuts can be soaked\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">overnight.
