Healthy winter diet

healthy winter diet can include foods that are rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, and can help you stay warm: 

• Root vegetables Sweet potatoes are high in vitamin A and potassium, while turnips and parsnips contain vitamin C and fiber. Beets are a good source of natural nitrates that can help improve exercise performance. 
• Citrus fruits Contain vitamin C, an antioxidant that can help boost immunity, lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of heart disease. 
• Leafy greens Contain vitamins that boost immunity, including vitamin K, which helps reduce blood clotting, and vitamin A, which is good for your eyes. 
• Soup Look for soups made with vegetable or chicken broth, water, and lots of vegetables. You can add dried or canned beans or lentils for fat-free protein and fiber. 
• Sweet potatoes High in carotenoids, vitamins A, C, and B6, as well as fiber and potassium. 
• Dry fruits Such as apricots, dried figs, and dates, which are rich in nutrients, dietary fiber, and vitamins. 
• Nuts Almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, and chia seeds contain healthy fats, vitamin E, and magnesium, which are important for immune function and overall health. 
• Vitamin D Can help maintain serotonin levels and avoid depression. You can get vitamin D from vitamin D-fortified cereals, eggs, and milk, or by getting 15-20 minutes of daily sunlight exposure. 
• Eat Oats Start your day with a hot breakfast of oats or other types of porridge. Oats are a great source of whole grains and fiber. Fiber can improve your cholesterol and make you feel full. In addition to keeping you full and warm, oats are full of other nutrients.

Nutrients that keep you warm in cold weather

• coffee

One of the benefits to drinking coffee is the caffeine. Caffeine increases your metabolism, which can raise your body temperature. Technically, iced coffee can be even better because it has more caffeine. However, if you can’t give up the warm cup of coffee in your hands, you’ll still get the benefits from a hot cup of coffee.

Eat Red Meat

Red meat, such as beef, lamb and pork, is a good source of iron. Iron is an important mineral to help carry oxygen throughout your body. People with low iron may notice cold hands and feet or feel tired easily. Eating red meat can also supply vitamin B12, which contributes to healthy nerves and a strong immune system.

Eat Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes and other root vegetables need more energy to move through the digestion process, which raises your body temperature. High in vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium, sweet potatoes can add fiber and other nutrients to a warm winter meal. Research shows sweet potatoes are also good for eye health.

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s two sisters, Aleena Khan and Uzma Khan, reached Islamabad’s D Chowk for a “peaceful protest” and were arrested by police. Aleema Khan and Uzma Khan taken into custody and transferred to secretariat police station

The Islamabad Police on Friday arrested former Pakistan Prime Minister and jailed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s sisters — Aleema Khan and Uzma Khanum from D Chowk in the city for “exercising their right of peaceful protest”.

Arrested Venue

Notably, D Chowk is the same venue where Imran Khan held a sit-in for 126 days in 2014 against alleged rigging in the Pakistan general elections.

Talking to the media at D-Chowk, Islamabad Inspector General of Police Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi said that police have blocked all entry points to Islamabad and also arrested about 30 protesters.

“Proceedings are underway wherever there are attempts to hurt police or damage property. Till now, there have been over 30 arrests. We are updating the exact numbers. We have a clear message that we will not let anyone take the law into their own hands,” he said.

In a tense political atmosphere, as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters, under the leadership of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, advanced towards DChowk, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi issued a stern warning.

Announcement of Naqvi

Naqvi announced that no individual or group would be permitted to break the law or cause damage to property under the pretext of protesting.

Imran has been incarcerated since his arrest on August 5, 2023. He faces numerous legal cases, with convictions in several of them. His party continues to stage protests, calling for his immediate release. PTI argues that the government must respect the constitution and uphold the independence of the judiciary in handling his legal battles.

The Jinnah House attack case was heard in the anti-terrorism court of Lahore today.

The investigating officer told the court that the accused have been found guilty in the attack case, the JIT has declared the three accused guilty, the police want to arrest the three for investigation, Aleema Khan was also found present on the spot.

Chairman PTI’s sister Aleema Khan came to the rostrum and said, “Justice should be given to us, we come to the court every day, If sending us to jail is justice then send us.”

Imran Khan’s sister was stopped from talking further by lawyer Burhan Muazzam.

Earlier, Punjab police have requested permission to arrest Imran Khan’s sisters, Uzma Khanum and Aleema Khan, in the Jinnah House attack case. Request has also been made for the arrest of Asad Umar.

Police made the request during a hearing in the Jinnah House attack case on after telling the court that all three had been involved in the incident.

The investigation offier said that a report by a Joint Investigation Team had found all three to be guilty and their arrest was needed for investigation. The officer said that Aleema Khan was known to be on the site of the attack on May 9.

However, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s lawyer Burhan Muazzam said that Aleema and Uzma had not been nominated in the case and demanded to see the statements that had called them guilty.

Imran disappointed with Alvi, says Aleema

Speaking to reporters at the occasion of the hearing, Aleema said Imran Khan was ‘disappointed’ in President Arif Alvi as the latter did not perform his constitutional responsibility by ordering elections within 90 days.

She also added that it seemed preparations were being made to keep Khan in jail for an extended period of time in the cipher case.

Aleema Khan also said that Imran had lost weight in jail but his morale was still high. She added that a petition had been filed to allow him to exercise and walk in jail.
