Good Nutrition

uhadmin — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 08:02:37 +0000

What is good nutrition?

Good nutrition is when you are eating nutritionally dense or nutritionally rich foods. Good nutrition is when you are avoiding processed/packaged foods that contain high sodium and other ingredients/chemicals very harmful for the body. Good nutrition is when you strike a balance between food variety and eat in moderation.

What are the benefits derived from good nutrition in the long run?

it will increase your mental and physical well-being
your immune system will soar – achieve good strength and endurance
it will lower the risks of high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, diabetes, heard diseases, cancer
if you are on medications/have any health issues, it will fight for speedy recovery
it will help in coping with anxiety and stress issues

What are nutritionally dense foods?

Foods that help in building strong muscle tissues, that help in overall mental and physical growth, and that help in repairing tissues in the body.

Will eating one or two nutritionally dense foods meet your body’s daily requirements?

NO. You need to combine nutritionally dense foods from different food groups, work out a chart, serving sizes and servings. Over and above, you need to look into foods low in sugar, salt and bad fats.

How to buy foods that would provide good nutrition to the body?

You need to learn to read and understand the “Nutrition Facts” label on food packages. Don’t just grab any packet because you like the look of the packaging.

When buying local veg and non-veg items, you should have some idea what each food contains. Try to buy these as fresh as you can.

How good nutrition gets killed in foods?

Even when you are buying nutritionally dense foods, the good nutrition inside these gets killed for many reasons:

over cooking/half cooking
adding too much spices and oils
microwaving
over cleaning or not cleaning properly

Try eating foods that you can bake, steam, poach, roast, and broil; these would not spoil the nutrition value.

It is All in the Mind

Nowadays, everyone wants to be fit or at least look fit, especially so that relatives, friends, colleagues do not pass any unwanted comment/advice regarding health or physique in general.

Do you know that many people who look fit from outside, have general weakness and low metabolism/health issues inside? Vice versa, some people look okay or weak from outside, but are fit health-wise from inside. Well, this percentage is quite less compared to the other aspect.

We know that when one is really fit, one looks good, has high energy and confidence levels; this in turn, helps in decreasing bad health symptoms significantly.

Fitness to some is quite easy to achieve and maintain; to some it is a difficult-to-very-difficult task. What are the reasons for it?

It is a physical challenge; hence, hard to achieve and too much exhaustion
No time; hence, no fitness
Comfort zone; hence, cannot come out of it no matter how much one tries
No one to motivate; hence, no self-motivation
No focus on good nutrition and lifestyle change; hence, back to square one

Reasons can be many; YOU need to try hard if you are serious about your health and fitness, especially, as you age.

It is all in the mind; face the challenge and start your journey towards a healthy and fit life. Believe me, you will not like the journey to end, once you dedicate your time to it

Your Health and Fitness Journey

uhadmin — Fri, 15 Sep 2023 04:18:16 +0000

Do you always look forward to traveling to faraway beautiful places, enjoying your stay there and returning home with a fresh mind? GOOD… once in a while it should be so. In today’s stressful world, everyone needs to take some time off to enjoy life.

But, have you given any thought to your health and fitness journey? See, the moment this question pops up, you go quiet or go behind an invisible wall.

WHY?

Because you don’t want to talk about it being fully aware that you have health issues (maybe you are on medications), that you are overweight or obese, that you literally live on junk and processed foods, that your lifestyle is all upside down… AND all you think is you are healthy and fit, and leading a good quality life!

If you can find time to travel to places, why not undergo a health and fitness journey knowing that you need it badly – as a priority?

All you have to do is cater to your daily nutrition and fitness, correct your daily lifestyle, and go on this journey that will help you in the long run… a good quality life that you will enjoy to your heart’s fill!

This health and fitness journey, to many who really require good weight loss and lifestyle corrections, seems a very hard task to achieve. What are the excuses behind it?

I am very busy; no time for it

[find out time – you cannot be so busy 24 hours]

I don’t have money; hence, cannot afford this journey

[If you can spend money on eating junk and processed foods, on traveling, on many unwanted things, why not spend some for this health and fitness journey? You know you need it more than anything else at this point]

I know I am overweight but I feel fine. Nothing is wrong with my health

[really?]

When I will cross 50, I will take care of my health

[your age is not the criteria here – the sooner you start the journey, the better for you]

I am overweight, I know; I always eat healthy, exercise twice a week; I don’t drink, smoke; yes, I have an addiction to sweets but that is okay… 1 or 2 a day will not harm

[if you are so sure about these, why are you overweight?]

I have tried many weight loss supplements but nothing worked. It’s all useless; there was no weight loss

[these supplements help only when you follow the other health parameters correctly]

I had put on weight after I went to the gym for a month or two

[have you heard of muscle weight?]

I don’t bother… what will happen will happen. My family is there to take care of me

[the ‘loser’ attitude to trouble your family for your health]

Therefore:

All you need is good counseling and a positive mindset that will motivate you to undertake this health and fitness journey. Once on it, it is guaranteed you will love it.

Give it a try.

Starvation for Weight Loss – Worst Health

uhadmin — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 23:28:03 +0000

When a person is told to lose weight, the first thing that comes to mind is reducing the food/meal portions, or having only one meal a day, or replacing meals with a variety of juices day after day.

NO – this is no solution for weight loss; in fact, it is the worst of its kind. Starvation or eating less than required, will take a bad toll on your health in the long run.

Starvation Mode

When your body starts moving towards “starvation mode”, it will send signals to slow down your metabolism that is responsible for absorption of nutrients from the food you eat. When it slows down, your body will start storing more energy from food, and will not use the extra fat.

What will happen then?

There will be no weight loss; instead, you will end up with muscle loss and this can prove fatal to your body.

Starving for a long time will make you binge eat and consume more calories than actually required for your body. As a result, you will end up with tremendous weight gain in no time!

Healthy Weight Loss

Losing weight is all about taking a nutritious diet and exercising (cardio and weights) on a regular basis. You can keep Sunday as REST day.

REMEMBER: With nutritious diet and exercising, your other lifestyle parameters should also be in place for everything to sync and work together towards good quality life.

Out of Comfort Zone into Fitness

uhadmin — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 06:13:19 +0000

How many of you had joined gyms or other fitness classes, went daily for a month or two utmost, and left suddenly?

What had happened?

Did you not get any result?
Did you get bored easily?
No self motivation?
No control on unhealthy nutrition?
You expected a miracle in one month?
Can you not come out of your comfort zone?

Whatever the reason, this means you are NOT at all serious for betterment of your health – getting a toned body, bettering your personality, working on your muscular strength and endurance, taking care of your bones, and most important “losing the extra kilos” for which you had actually paid a lump sum and joined these centers.

When you leave suddenly, are you mentally ready for the after shock? Putting back whatever kilo or two you had shed PLUS adding extra kilos. Then? You will join these centers again. It will keep on happening till frustration will set in and you will get trapped in this stupendous loop.

Come Out of the Dreaded Comfort Zone

Knowing that it is this dreaded “comfort zone” that you are snuggled into, it is stopping you from getting the expected weight loss results.

Now, the choice is totally yours.

Why?

Because you know your health better than anyone else – you know its shortcomings and the unexpected results it can give you as time passes by if you do not take any serious action right now about your health, fitness and lifestyle.

This dreaded “comfort zone” will leave you nowhere. Every time you will be back to square one, and finally, you will prefer leading a frustrated unhealthy and unfit life.

It is high time you come out of your “comfort zone” and be serious about your health, nutrition and lifestyle. It does not mean you have to visit doctors, take pills, etc. It means you have to know where you stand with your health and fitness, and why you need to work on it asap.

Good Health is GOLD

uhadmin — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 08:07:22 +0000

In the present day world, everyone is busy either making their careers or climbing up the career ladder, or setting up their own business/entrepreneurship. In this process of running around and mainly focusing on earning, people tend to totally neglect their health. In fact, many think that they will start taking care of their health after they turn 50, which sadly does not happen.

This is where the “health game” starts wavering, and with time, good health starts deteriorating. When the body starts giving signals, people ignore it with the fear that they have to visit doctors who would prescribe lots of medicines to take. They neither want to be trapped here nor pay attention to their health and fitness.

It is high time you start taking good care of your health, stay fit and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Eat Healthy

We are what we eat. It is best that you start eating nutritious food so that you do not, in the long run, fall into the category of overweight.

Record your daily total calorie intake, and note down what you are eating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Moreover, eating food with good nutritional value could actually help your body to cater to numerous health issues including stroke, diabetes, blood pressure, thyroid, PCOS, PCOD, etc.

Quit Cigarettes, Tobacco and Alcohol

When you start following the path of good health and fitness, these addictions will every time come in your way like enemies trying to attack and kill you. You have to then fight back. Meaning, these enemies will NEVER help you to achieve your health and fitness goals; with time, these will make you unhealthy and you will end up with severe health problems that can prove fatal.

Regular Exercises

To take good care of your health and remain fit throughout life, one of the best ways to stay healthy is by doing regular exercises. Many health issues start disappearing in people who exercise regularly. Give 30 minutes to 1 hour daily to cardio and gym, and you will be pleasantly surprised with the good results.

Regular Health Checkups

Most people try to avoid health checkups. Rather than running from one doctor to another for every health issue that starts showing its head, it is best you go for regular health checkups. For example, start with full blood tests, at least every 6 months. This way you can keep track of your health and take actions accordingly.

Healthy Diet

uhadmin — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 09:03:59 +0000

What is a Healthy Diet?

In brief, it is a diet that helps in improving as well as maintaining your health (both mental and physical). It includes all the body Systems, and not one particular System. With correct intake of macro- and micro-nutrients, fibers and fluids, this healthy diet takes care of the body in an essentially nutritive way.

And this is Most Important

Healthy Diet helps the body cope with malnutrition, fight with various diseases (diabetes, cancer, blood pressure, heart-related, and many others), and with day-to-day little health issues that otherwise get affected by an unhealthy diet and lifestyle.

Want to maintain a uHealthy Health Diary?

Always Keep in Mind

There is an old saying, “What is best for the tongue, is worst for the body; vice-versa, what is bland for the tongue, is best for the body.”

(a) eat home-cooked (but NOT over-cooked as the food will lose all its nutrition) food as much as you can

(b) try to totally avoid outside-cooked food (except on emergency like traveling, attending meetings, attending functions/weddings/parties) – though made fresh, certain taste enhancers like MSG (ajinomoto) harm the liver in the long run

(d) STOP eating stale food – cook only that much that is needed

(e) daily meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) should be healthy and a balanced combination of protein-carbohydrates-dietary fats (NEVER base your meals on only 1 macro-nutrient)

(f) our body requires all the 3 macro-nutrients to function. You have to know how to balance these with each other as per your daily nutrition requirements

Only Healthy Diet will Never Help

Healthy diet, along with other aspects of fit and healthy lifestyle like physical activities, sleeping and waking up on time, having meals on time, taking medicines on time, whatever – focus should be on all. One without the other will NEVER work.

All you need is “finding time for yourself” so that your body can benefit from all.

What’s to be Done where Overall Health is Concerned?

To start with (sooner the better), give your best to:

1. maintain blood pressure at normal range

2. manage healthy body weight: in general, be man or woman, your physique should be “mesomorphic” – neither slim nor fat

3. get TGL, LDL and VLDL in the normal range

4. keep blood sugar level in control

5. get blood tests done every 6 months (if you are 50+) or once a year (if you are below 50) to get a picture of your body’s functions
