This series will include blogs that will give you insights about the healthy restaurants near you, their specialty, and their contact information so you can enjoy the guilt-free indulgence. :) 

Introduction

The pandemic changed a lot of things for us, especially our outlook on health and nutrition. Those news flashes informing people about the non-availability of hospital beds still to this day haunts a lot of us. Although 2020 was the year of uncertainty and despair, it did bring us a lot closer to our roots. The pandemic triggered the importance of a robust immune system and a healthy body. Doctors around the world promoted the importance of immunity-boosting foods and supplements. Indian families were ditching supplements and switching back to home remedies for natural results. Kaada – a homemade drink that exhibits medicinal properties became a staple in many households. Even Ayurveda brands like Patanjali came out with supplements like Coronil, a product that was marketed as an immunity booster. Although it garnered a lot of controversy, it educated us on the importance of our well being. All in all, the pandemic truly made us realize that health is wealth and without good health, we are vulnerable to all sorts of diseases.

The people of today, especially the younger generation, are ethical, conscious, and mindful of their choices. These people want to make decisions that empower them and contribute to the betterment of their health. A lot of Indians also have adopted veganism or a gluten-free lifestyle to bring about a positive change in their health. If you work out or follow a particular diet regime, you would know how incredibly frustrating it can get if you want to go out but are not aware of the kind of restaurants that would accommodate a diet like yours. These types of situations often lead to people compromising on their social life in fear of cheating on their diet. This is a completely wrong notion. No diet should ever limit you from going out, in fact, we always encourage people to go out when they’re on a diet to explore healthy food options that complement their taste palette. 

Delhi is a hub of food. Flooded with numerous bars, cafés, restaurants, dhabas, and kiosks, one can get a little confused as to what establishment serves healthy food and what doesn’t. With ample innovation in the restaurant business, some food establishments in Delhi provide you with organic food from cultivated groceries and without any harmful pesticides, some cook healthy unprocessed foods in solar panels, and some give you healthy and unhealthy options so you and your friend can enjoy a delicious meal, regardless of your food choice and preference.

This is a series so don’t worry if you aren’t from Delhi, we will have a blog for your city very soon so stay tuned for that! Check out Top Healthy Restaurants in Gurugram. Just let us know which city you’re from at info@niwi.ai.
