Do you eat right before you sleep? Midnight munchies? 🫣

2 reasons to break that habit….

Firstly, it’s difficult to digest food when lying down. This can lead to acid reflux or heart burn.or even weight gain overtime.
Our digestive tract works best when we are upright- sitting / standing.
Early and light dinner is best for good digestion.

Secondly, digesting food requires the body to expend energy. This can interfere with the relaxed metabolic state needed for better sleep quality.

Tip: if you feel hungry late night and end up snacking just before bed; go for light gut friendly food like a bowl of fresh yogurt / few nuts / a fruit or may be a glass of warm turmeric low fat milk.

Your gut and sleep will be happy🤗

Do you suffer from viral infections often?

Frequent exposure to viruses is about how strong your immune system is.

Boost your immunity the natural way:

Eat right :- add more protein to your meals , Vt C boosts immunity , colorful veggies and fruits have good antioxidants, for zinc and selenium add seeds & nuts

Include probiotics in your diet (curd, kefir, fermented foods)

Stay hydrated as water flush outs the toxins from the body

Timely Sleep of 7–8 hrs is must for producing infection fighting cells and body repair.

Move daily (walk, yoga, workout) as exercise improves circulation of immune cells.

Manage stress: stress suppresses the immune function.

Cut excess sugar and junk food as it triggers the inflammation.

Basic hygiene + fresh air is must to prevent frequent infections.

Strong immunity = less infections and fewer sick days

What is your view on this?
As a clinical dietitian working since last 25years in the field of Nutrition, my take on food is completely different.
Food is something which gives us happiness, it should not only be related to carcinogens/ diseases/ calories.
Mindful eating is the key to enjoy eating anything without guilt.
I know eating everyday outside food is not good for health but once in a while indulging in outside food gives you happiness.
Moderation is the key.
Now days, the food has been made villan, people connect food with negativity, basically what you need is an active lifestyle throughout the day with one extra hour of moderate activity.
Sedentary lifestyle is the culprit not the food. Eat food guilt free with positive vibes and in moderation. Avoid daily basis overeating.
Children should be encouraged to play outside instead of using gadgets.
Milk is associated with hormones/ fruit with injections/ wheat with diabetes/ vegetables with sprays n colours… etc you see everything has negative energy to it.
What should one do in such a scenario?

Comment below.. what is your take on this?

Success story :
A young girl Riya, 26years old, came to my clinic with symptoms like abdominal pain, muscle weakness, weight loss and blood in stools.
Since last many years she was suffering from Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease is a type of IBD, which affects day to day life.
The treatment involved elimination diet with the right carbohydrates in her diet.
After working with her for the last 4 months, I have seen significant improvement in her energy levels, not only improvement in her weight but she is able to digest the foods properly.

Collagen - let’s throw a light on this topic!

Collagen is the word most talked about whenever anyone is talking about skin aging.
At any age people want to look young, have a younger wrinkle free skin. It is hard to ignore the advertisements/ drug stores / cosmetic shops filled with collagen boosting products that everyone gets tempted to try.

What is Colllagen?
Collagen is a protein and one of the main building blocks of our skin. As we age, it starts to degrade; some of the other causes are free radical damage, environmental factors like UV rays, pollution, smoking, poor diet etc.

We can not stop aging but we can be careful about other factors effecting it ..
Some preventive tips :
Add protein rich foods like meat, eggs, fish, beans, dairy, they will supply the amino acids your body needs to produce collagen.
Eat a variety of Whole Foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, pulses, nuts n seeds.
Limit your sugar intake.
Bone broth is a good source of collagen.
Reduce alcohol intake and stop smoking.
Use medicated sunscreen with SPF 50.
Practice self care with skin massage

If you want to take collagen supplements then chose a high quality supplement from a trusted brand( consult a derma)

Conclusion: a healthy lifestyle with balanced diet , adequate sleep and stress/anger management is the solution to all the problems.
Why not try to change your lifestyle?

Ways to prevent swollen feet during travel:

Feet swelling during travel; when you are trapped in a seat is common and typically harmless. The longer you are sitting, the more gravity pulls fluid down to your feet and ankles, increasing the pressure on veins and increasing swelling.

Another reason is as we travel, we tend to eat junk food high in salt which further retains the fluid in the body causing swelling.

Here are some preventive tips to follow:
• During travel avoid eating too much of salt, carry fruits with you, snacks like roasted makhanas(no salt), fresh fruit juice is better than salted fresh lime sodas.
• Drink water throughout travel as the water will help to clear your body of excessive sodium.
• Stretch your legs on a long flight or prolong sitting in a car or walk when travelling in a train .
• Elevate your feet to improve blood circulation.
• Give your feet a seated workout - point your feet up and down and massage it.
• Shift positions regularly while sitting to improve blood circulation
• Wear comfortable and practical footwear.
