Tips for a healthy lifestyle

-

 

1st I’m making it very clear that I’m not a health professional / nutritionist/dietitian.  

I write tips here based on what I learnt from professionals since 2019.  

Remember each body is unique and each of our health conditions are different. So what suits me may not suit others.

In reality / practical grounds non-can eat healthy all 365 days. What I follow is, I eat 90% healthy food in the right way and 10 % I deviate from the healthy way, but not on daily basis and also I eat them in minimal quantity.

Before sharing tips, I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to my 3 dietitians who thought me that healthy eating is a lifestyle and its not a form of diet.

Tips for a healthy lifestyle

1.     1st we need to know what food ingredients will suit us. Because few of us maybe having gluten/ lactose intolerance. And allergic towards some nuts, seeds, veggies, fruits, millet, and seafood.

2.     Ensure that our 3 meal plates are filled with carbohydrates, proteins, non-starchy veggies and healthy fats.

3.     Plan your meal plate as per the picture given below.

     

4.     For vegetarians like us here are a few foods which contain only protein are, panner, tofu, Greek yoghurt and soya bean/chunks.

5.     All the pules and different types of Chana we consume not only have protein, but it also contains carbohydrates too. So, it can’t be called a complete source of protein food.

6.     Every day consume 1 fruit and stop consuming fruits 5 hours before bed.

7.     Include healthy nuts and seeds on daily basis.

8.     Healthy eating window time is 6 or 7 am to 8 pm at night.

9.     Expect unavoidable situations, you try to finish your last meal max before 8.30 pm. By doing this you can maintain your weight to some extent.

10.  If you are willing to eat heavy meals ensure to eat them for lunch for better digestion.   

11.  If you have sweet tooth on daily basis, the best way to control it is to start consuming 1 small piece of dark chocolate which contains a minimum of 70% of cocoa.

12.  Keep yourself self-hydrated by drinking water, buttermilk  &  lemon juice by adding salt and not sugar (if lemon suits you).

Importance of Pre-marital counselling

The below information is again shared by my friend Usha. who is an emerging life coach. I personally felt this topic is very much important and needed in the present world. It’s always better to get tips/advice from a relevant professional, who is generally non-judgmental. It’s a fact that only if we live with that person in person we will know who the real he (or) she is. Then why this Pre-marital counselling if you ask, it will give you a better picture of whether this person is ok to live with in person (or) not. And help guide us in many more things about a married life.   Importance of Pre-marital counselling: 1.        As the name indicates, it’s before one gets married.   Men and women have different physical and emotional needs.   They are generally happy and a bit curious to explore the institution called marriage. 2.      Marriage is an important event in life. It’s a lifelong commitment. However, it has many aspects which many people are not aware of unless they

  1st I express my sincere heartfelt thanks to my friend Usha . She is an emerging life coach. It’s so sweet for her to agree on sharing her knowledge about psychologists/psychiatrists/counselling. I asked five basic questions to her about psychologists/psychiatrists/counselling. Which may be helpful in clarifying the doubt that the common people may have. Question & answer: 1.        Is counselling meant only for people with mental illness?  Ans : It’s a myth that counselling is only for people with mental illness.  It actually helps people optimize their well-being. We humans are social and it’s very necessary for us to have beautiful relations with other fellow human beings.  We can approach a counsellor/coach anytime when we feel stuck and feel we are unable to achieve what we aspire in life.   2.      What a person can expect from a counsellor/ life coach when they approach them? Ans: When we approach a counsellor/coach, we can feel that we are heard.  That there is someone w

 As I reached the 45th recipe in my blog, I wish to share my gratitude to all the people who had kept supporting me and sharing their valuable comments/ feedback.    Above all this, I wish to share my very special gratitude to the below-mentioned four people. Today if I could say I have a passion for cooking it’s only because of the four people I mentioned below. By seeing them only I got an interest in cooking.  From my childhood, till now I had been admiring their cooking skills/ taste. I'm grateful to the four people for inspiring me with their kitchen skills. People who are close to me will know that I like feeding people. I developed this quality by seeing them.   1st my Mother from whom I was inspired and learnt how to make cooking fast and also how to cook with the limited/given utensil. She never made me feel that cooking is a big task. During my school days, I remember within 30 -40 minutes she will prepare lunch and breakfast for me. The highlight of this is that she ne
