Participants reported feeling fuller and better after nut-containing breakfasts, particularly those with walnuts. She joined Hindustan Times to simplify wellness subjects by cutting through jargon. Most of us prepare breakfast on autopilot, so making a small change takes little effort. There is research worth looking at, too. Still, they offer an interesting reason to look at what a small addition to a familiar meal might do. Nuts contain healthy fats, plant protein, and fibre, nutrients that can help you feel satisfied. Their potential benefits have also attracted attention in research involving people with blood-glucose concerns. Nation is rooted in making nuts and dry fruits part of regular Indian diets, not just festive purchases. Small changes in ordinary kitchens can help build that habit. What matters is choosing foods people enjoy and can keep eating long after the festivities end. Pick your usual breakfast and add a modest portion of your favourite nuts. Try it for a week, see how it fits into your mornings, and keep it if it works for you. Note: People with nut allergies should avoid the nuts they are allergic to. Those managing diabetes or other medical conditions should consult their doctor or qualified dietitian about suitable food choices and portions.
Career journey and experience Tavishi began her health journalism journey in 2017, and has since reported for RSTV, Financial Express, Jagran, HT Media Labs and Zee. A preliminary study from Türkiye, published in the journal Foods in 2024, examined what happened when researchers added nuts to a regular breakfast. The study included only 12 people, so the findings are encouraging but not conclusive.
Education and professional background Tavishi holds a Master’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communication and began her career reporting on public affairs for broadcast. Editorial Philosophy I write with one single goal: To simplify health in a world full of noise by finding what’s actually doable, safe, and evidence-based for my readers. I test claims against research and user experiences. The festive season brings its own pleasures. Boxes of mithai from friends and family, get-togethers, office celebrations, and tables full of favourite foods. As the celebrations wind down, getting back into a regular eating routine can feel surprisingly difficult. But you don’t need a strict diet or a complete breakfast makeover. Sometimes, adding a few almonds or walnuts to your usual breakfast is a good place to start. (Disclaimer: At Hindustan Times, we help you stay up to date with the latest trends and products.
