Tips for Setting a Healthy Dinner Plate

Sharing a meal with family is a cherished tradition, but when you’re eating alone or trying to build healthier habits, it helps to have a simple guide. The Healthy Eating Plate—a concept backed by Harvard researchers—offers an easy way to structure balanced meals. Here’s how you can apply it to your everyday dinners.

How to Build a Healthy Dinner Plate 

A well-balanced meal consists of the right portions of different food groups:

🌿 Half your plate: Load up on colorful vegetables and fruits for essential vitamins and fiber.
🌿 One-quarter of your plate: Include protein—whether it’s lean meats, lentils, or tofu—to support muscle health.
🌿 One-quarter of your plate: Add whole grains like brown rice or millet for sustained energy.
🌿 Hydration matters! Pair your meal with water, ideally in a pure kansa (bronze) glass to enhance digestion and detoxification.

Why Use a Traditional Kansa Thali Set?

If you struggle with portion control or love the idea of eating in a way that connects to tradition, a Kansa Thali Set is the perfect addition to your kitchen. Designed with a large plate, three bowls, a spoon, and a bronze water glass, it naturally helps you portion out food without overthinking.

Beyond functionality, kansa (bronze) has been used in Indian households for centuries due to its natural alkalizing properties, which promote gut health. Unlike modern tableware, which loses its shine over time, a handcrafted Kansa Thali Set lasts for generations and only gets more beautiful with age.
