The first meal of the day doesn&#8217;t just fill our stomach- it sets the tone for your energy, metabolism and even your heart health for the rest of the day. Indian breakfasts are often warm, comforting, and packed with flavours. But when it comes to heart health, not every traditional breakfast is a healthy choice. Deep-oil-fried pooris, buttery paranthas, or sugar-loaded tea\/coffee may taste great, but gradually they can increase bad cholesterol, blood pressure, and weight \u2014 altogether these put extra strain on the heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But don&#8217;t worry. You don\u2019t need to give up tasty Indian food to keep your heart safe.

It&#8217;s a perfect twist on traditional upma, rich in fibre, which makes it a heart-healthy breakfast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Health benefits:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oats contain beta-glucan, a special type of soluble fibre that forms in the gut and removes excess cholesterol from the body. This way it helps lower LDL (low-density lipoprotein, also known as bad cholesterol). Vegetables like carrots and beans add potassium and antioxidants that support healthy blood pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How to make: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First you dry roast oats in a pan. Cook with mustard seeds, curry leaves, onions, carrots, beans, and peas in minimal oil. Add lemon juice and herbs for flavour instead of extra salt.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2.

It also contains plant protein, which helps manage weight and cholesterol. These qualities make it perfect for people with diabetes and heart risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Healthy version:\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can add grated bottle gourd (lauki), carrot, coriander leaves, spinach, tomatoes, and onions. Cook on a non-stick pan with very little oil. Pair with mint chutney instead of butter.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3.

If you prefer a light start, this is a refreshing, heart-healthy breakfast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why it helps:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sprouts are low in fat but rich in protein, fibre, and antioxidants, ideal for managing weight. They also support digestion and help maintain healthy cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Quick bowl idea:\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mix sprouts with cucumber, tomato, coriander, lemon juice, and a pinch of black salt. If you want, you can also mix sprouted black chana along with moong daal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4.

It is important because blood sugar swings can really stress the heart. It is rich in fibre which supports the gut, and a healthy gut is associated with a healthy heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Make it better:\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cook with seasonal vegetables such as bottle gourd, carrots, peas and beans.
