Because of its antibacterial properties, pepper is also used to preserve food. It is a rich source of manganese, iron, potassium, vitamin-C, vitamin K, and dietary fiber. Black pepper is also a very good anti-inflammatory agent.

Also known as koshering salt, it is specially recognized because of its flake-like shape. Even though all three salts- sea, table and kosher- contain the same amount of sodium per gram, kosher salt yields less sodium per tablespoon because of its coarser grain. In other words, it enhances the flavor of each ingredient while protecting your heart from an excessive sodium intake!!

The American Heart Association recommends regular fish consumption: 2 servings per week of fatty fish. Salmon is one of them, and it is an excellent source of omega-3, an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) that enhances cardiovascular health by modestly lowering blood pressure and stimulating blood circulation. It also helps reduce triglycerides, increase "good cholesterol" (HDL) and has anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore it helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Ongoing research might also demonstrate its importance for cognitive and behavioral function. In addition, salmon is a great source of high-quality protein and iron (heminic- easily absorbed iron) and may also be considered as a source of calcium when it is canned with the bones.

Butter, commonly known as makkhan, is a pure form of animal fat as it is prepared at home and fresh. Adding one teaspoon of butter in the diet is highly recommended as it is rich in antioxidants and contains carotene, vitamin A. In fact, lining rotis or parathas with butter or adding a teaspoon in hot rice is enough for reaping its health benefits.
