Breakfast for protein
In Indian homes, most people eat things like biscuits, namkeen along with tea and coffee in the morning, but it is important to have a proper breakfast.

For breakfast, you can take foods like curd, cheese, cottage cheese, sprouted grains-pulses or eggs.

Especially it is best to eat seasonal fruits, like in summer, eat fruits like watermelon, melon, litchi, blackberries, peach, apricot etc.
Healthy foods for women
Vitamin G is also important
Doctor Upasana Parv Kalra says that after the age of 35, it becomes more important to take calcium and vitamin D rich foods, because from this time the bone density can gradually start decreasing. For this, make foods like milk, curd and cheese a part of your diet, but along with this, you should also spend a few minutes in the sun every day.
eat iron rich foods
