A balanced diet is the key to a long and healthy life. And you can ensure you are able to maintain a healthy diet by planning out your meals. It is important to include all nutritional factors like proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and fats into each meal. A healthy breakfast is important for a productive day and actress Karisma Kapoor appears to believe in this fact too. Karisma shared a boomerang of her Friday morning brunch, which included a hot cup of coffee and a bowl of nutrient-rich walnuts. The actress shared the picture on her Instagram Stories along with the caption, “One day at a time.”

Eating walnuts for breakfast is good, as the morning meal is when your body absorbs the most nutrients. Walnuts are considered to be brain food and are also believed to be essential in aiding weight loss. They are a rich source of protein, fibre, and omega 3 fatty acids.
