Season changes, and the skin is often the first to react.

Urticaria and psoriasis flare ups are usually a sign of immune overreaction and histamine load. I see this pattern almost every day.
Adding anti inflammatory foods and avoiding personal trigger foods makes a real difference.
Skin does not heal only through creams.
It heals through what you put on your plate too.

Ageing gracefully isn’t about looking younger. It’s about feeling stronger, calmer, and more confident with every year.

Health, mindset, movement, and nourishment matter more than chasing youth. You’re not losing anything, you’re growing into yourself.

Just because it’s viral doesn’t mean it works for you.

Oats and quinoa are often labelled as “superfoods” and promoted as must-have healthy foods. While they are nutritious, they are not suitable for everyone.

For people with poor gut health, IBS, gluten sensitivity, thyroid issues, or blood sugar imbalances, foods like oats may cause bloating, acidity, heaviness, or sluggish digestion, especially when eaten daily or in large portions.

Quinoa is frequently marketed as a high-protein food, but this is misleading. While it is a complete protein, it is not high in protein compared to eggs, dairy, pulses, paneer, soy, meat, or fish. If not washed, soaked, or cooked properly, quinoa can also irritate the gut due to antinutrients.

Another concern is how these foods are consumed. Oats paired with sugar, flavoured milk, syrups, or processed toppings can spike blood sugar. Quinoa eaten without enough protein or fats may not keep you full or energised.

Nutrition is deeply individual. A food being trendy does not make it right for everyone. Healthy eating should be based on physiology, digestion, and lifestyle, not trends.

Listen to your body, not the algorithm.

Grateful for the trust, Lekha 🤍

PCOD can feel overwhelming, especially when irregular periods become the norm. Seeing your body respond to the right nutrition, improved cycle regularity, better gut health, higher energy, and growing strength, without medication is truly rewarding.

This is exactly why personalised nutrition matters. Thank you for trusting me with your health journey.

Eggs aren’t called a complete protein by chance, it’s pure science.

Protein isn’t one single nutrient. It’s made of amino acids. Your body needs 20, but 9 are essential, meaning you must get them from food.

Eggs provide all 9 essential amino acids, in the exact proportion your body can use efficiently.

That’s why eggs have one of the highest biological values of any natural food, they’re easily digested, well absorbed, and used for muscle repair, hormones, enzymes, metabolism, and immunity.

And it doesn’t stop at protein. Eggs also deliver vitamin D, B12, choline for brain health, selenium, and healthy fats.

So whether boiled, scrambled, or in an omelette, eggs are one of the most efficient, nutrient-dense ways to nourish your body.

Simple food. Powerful nutrition.

Every girl carries a spark, but the world is quick to dim it.

Too early, girls are taught to judge their bodies, restrict food, or ignore their needs. Some are pushed into dieting before growth is complete. Others are told their fatigue, hunger, or mood swings are “normal” and dismissed. Both leave lasting damage.

A girl’s body isn’t a problem to fix, it’s a system still forming. Nutrition here isn’t about control or numbers. It’s about nourishment, safety, and trust. Girls who are fed well, not restricted, not neglected, grow into women who respect their bodies instead of fighting them.

Feed your girls.
Protect them from diet culture.
Teach nourishment before fear.

Because supported girls grow into whole, strong women.

Most of the sodium we eat doesn’t come from the salt shaker, it comes from packaged and processed foods.

Bread, chips, sauces, ready meals, sodium hides everywhere. A little is essential. Too much? It strains blood pressure, fluid balance, and heart health.

Here’s how to read labels the right way:
• Labels list sodium, not salt
1 tsp salt = 2,300 mg sodium
Daily target: 1,500–2,300 mg

• Check the serving size
Low per serving can become high per packet.

• Use this quick guide (per 100 g):
≤120 mg → low (best choice)
120–400 mg → moderate

400 mg → high (limit)

• Watch warning words:
Pickled, cured, salted, preserved, processed, flavoured

• Check %DV:
≤5% = low
≥20% = high

Label reading isn’t about fear or cutting salt completely. It’s about awareness, comparison, and smarter everyday choices.

When you understand sodium, you protect your heart long before problems begin.

Your body doesn’t suddenly break down, it communicates first. Quietly. Subtly. Repeatedly.

Before exhaustion becomes burnout, before hair fall becomes thinning, before mood swings feel unmanageable, your body sends small signals that are easy to ignore.

Eye twitching → often linked to low magnesium, especially if stress or poor sleep is involved.

Always tired → may point toward iron deficiency, especially if paired with breathlessness or low motivation.

Winter sadness or low mood → could be low vitamin D, especially if you spend most time indoors.

Tingling or numbness in hands/feet → a common early sign of vitamin B12 deficiency.

Constant hunger → sometimes it’s not appetite, it’s low protein intake, leaving you undernourished, not underfed.

Loss of taste or slower healing → may indicate zinc deficiency, impacting immunity and recovery.

Brain fog → often linked to low omega-3, affecting memory and cognitive clarity.

Feeling cold all the time → could be tied to low iodine, affecting thyroid function and metabolism.

These aren’t random. They’re nutritional whispers. Early signs are reversible. Ignored signs turn into diagnoses.

You don’t need extreme diets or random supplements. You need awareness, balance, and nourishment that supports your body, not fights it.

If something feels “off,” listen. Because your body always whispers before it screams.

Before supplements existed, liver was medicine.

Across cultures, it was prized for one reason, it delivers maximum nutrition in minimal quantity.

Just one serving of liver provides:
• Highly absorbable heme iron
• Vitamin B12 for energy & nerves
• Vitamin A for immunity, skin & vision
• Choline for liver & brain health

That’s why liver was traditionally used to support anemia, fatigue, and recovery.

But powerful foods need respect. Liver is not a daily food. Because of its high vitamin A content:
• 1–2 times a week is enough
• Extra caution during pregnancy
• Quality matters, choose grass-fed or pastured

Nutrition isn’t about trends or fear. It’s about knowing how much, how often, and for whom.

Sometimes the most advanced nutrition, is ancestral wisdom.
