Ever wondered which one eating habit can make a world of difference to your health?

Wait! I am not going to repeat the benefits of fresh fruits & vegetables. Nor will I be going through the virtues of antioxidants. The tip of the day deals with how to end your meal. Yes! you read it right. The last thing you eat in every meal can have a lasting effect on your health. The good news here is, you will not be buying expensive supplements from the drug store or hunting around for some elusive oriental Herb. The magic superfood recommended to you is the good old “Yogurt” or the homemade “Curd”. In fact homemade yogurt/curd is even better than the flavoured version.

Curd
