Mongolian Noodles

Whole wheat/quinoa/gluten free noodles have high fiber and digestive benefits. The fiber content keeps bowel movements regular. It not only helps prevent the body from absorbing bad cholesterol, but they may also lower triglycerides, both of which are major contributors to heart disease. Quinoa is not only high in fiber, but it is also an excellent source of protein providing additional vitamin B. Bak Choy delivers protein, dietary fiber, and almost all the essential vitamins and minerals.

Cheese With Chicken

Cheese and chicken is a delicious way to get some extra protein in. Consuming cottage cheese after a workout not only provides protein, it can contribute to bone health too as cottage cheese is a good source of calcium. Chicken is an excellent source of lean protein and other important nutrients like niacin, B vitamin essential to carbohydrate metabolism.

Barley Roti

Barley is an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble fiber and selenium. It is also a good source of phosphorous, copper and manganese. The insoluble fiber helps to prevent colon cancer and maintain regular bowel movement. The soluble fiber lowers blood cholesterol and slows down the absorption of sugar and reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. The presence of copper in barley reduces symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. It also maintains flexibility in bones and joints. The selenium present in barley preserves the elasticity of the skin, along with manganese and it gives the body a feeling of well-being.
