We are living in a world where everyone is trying to be the best versions of themselves. So much is the competition these days that working hard is not the option anymore. One needs to work smarter these days. And to work smart one needs to pay special care towards their brain so that it can function optimally.
According to India’s top nutritionist Avni Kaul, you exercise more, you are more concerned about your mental health and you are watching what you eat. Most people think of salad, as diet food, the all-important food to lose weight, the path to becoming slimmer and now is the time to challenge those assumptions.
