Looking at the weighing scale, Kavita let out a scream of agony.. Her husband Mohit, sitting on the sofa in the living room, rushed to the bedroom, only to find his wife looking despaired and in anguish. On being asked, Kavita, almost crying, explained how her weight was increasing rapidly.. This is despite her eating healthy, having no thyroid or PCOD issues and going to the gym religiously. Seeing her breaking down, Mohit took her to the doctor, and after getting a recommended CRP test, they found out that Kavita was having inflammation in her body. To them, this was something they did not know anything about. Have you ever thought that your unexplained weight gain could be due to the same reason that Kavita had? Ever given it a thought that your mood swings, body pain and fatigue could be linked to something different from PCOS and Thyroid? Well, the answer is Inflammation in your body and the best dietitian in Punjab Diksha is here to tell you all about it. Hero Turned Villain Inflammation is not necessarily the villain as you might think it to be.. Acute Inflammation is the hero when it comes to healing your body from infections and injuries. What happens is that when the body gets impacted by an injury/ infection, our immune system releases cytokines and inflammatory cells. These, in turn, actuate a series of responses that help in the healing. The troubling pain and the discomfort are a part of the response. This Inflammation process ceases when the body has healed. So, as you see, Acute inflammation is the hero when it comes to healing the body, but it becomes the Villain when it turns into Chronic Inflammation. Factors That Cause Chronic Inflammation Bad eating habits, extreme stress and existing obesity can trigger this troublemaker that promises to mess up your hormones and severely impact your metabolism. An impacted metabolism leads to weight gain, which is what we, the best dietitian in punjab are discussing today. Weight Gain Due To Inflammation ? Metabolism, in simple terms, is how efficiently your body breaks down the food you eat into energy. A slow metabolism means your body isn’t breaking down the food, and it is getting stored in the body as unhealthy fat. This causes the inflammatory markers to go into overdrive mode because of the metabolic and hormonal changes. These markers stay on high alert till the excessive weight is lost. This triggers a chin process where, due to the inflammation, the body doesn’t process insulin properly, which in turn leads to fat depositing in the liver, which makes insulin processing erratic. This chain of events leads to weight gain. Winning this battle against the unhealthy weight isn’t possible without fighting the main villain.. Chronic Inflammation. SYMPTOMS OF INFLAMMATION: You always feel that you are drained of energy and constantly tired. Your Joints and Muscles feel as if they are constantly in battle. The beautiful deep sleep you enjoyed so much has become a thing of the past. You have been caught unaware by unexplained weight loss. If you associate these issues with yourself, then yes, you may have Chronic inflammation in your body. A diet for inflammation will help, and we will tell you about it. HOW HEALTHY2BFIT can help?

Back To Basics! The Revival Of Millets

customised diet plan, General Updates, health benefits / healthy2bfit-new

There is a scene in the great Kalidasa’s epic creation, “Abhijnana Shakuntalam” where the sage Kanva is shown pouring Foxtail millets to Shakuntala in Dushyant’s court, emphasising how auspicious millets were back then. Remember this dates back to somewhere between the 4th to 5th AD… close to 1625 years ago. Priyangava, Aanava, Shyaamaka.. Know these ones? These words find mention in the Yajur Vedas and mean Foxtail Millet (कंगनी), Barnyard Millet (सांवा) and Black Finger Millet (रागी) respectively. And the Yajur Vedas were written 3200, yes 3200 years ago! This makes it pretty clear that millets are as ancient as we are, if not older! Excavations at the sites of The Indus Valley Civilisation and Harappan Civilisation have found remnants of millets and this further solidifies the fact that millets have been an integral part of our diet and culture since time immemorial. But then, WHAT ARE MILLETS? Millets are essentially plants with lots of seeds. It is also known as a cultivated grass that acts as food for humans and animals alike. Millets are characterised by their properties: Millets are rich in essential minerals, fiber, protein and vitamins. Antioxidants? They have it as well! Millets grow well in semi arid and arid regions as well, thus requiring little water. Millets are very resistant to pests and diseases therefore requiring little care. Millets are gluten free. Millets are also known as Nutri-cereals since they have everything that is needed to nourish your body! Thinking about weight loss? Well, these help, a lot! The year 2023 was declared as the “International Year of Millets” by the United Nations. India, which is an 80% producer of millets in Asia and 20% worldwide, also celebrated 2023 as the year that would promote the benefits of both millet consumption and cultivation. But a question that arises is why millets, a humble but ancient grain, are making such a strong comeback? Post COVID, the world saw an emphatic shift towards living and eating healthy and we at Healthy2Bfit, the best Dietitian in Chandigarh too started advocating millets strongly, owing to their benefits! Millets have a lot of benefits including but not limited to: Weight Management: Looking to shed that unhealthy fat? Look no further. Millets are really fulfilling in nature and help in hunger management and nutrition, resulting in weight loss. Cardiac Health: Millets are amazing at managing your cholesterol levels and consequently reduce the risks of cardiac diseases. Blood Sugar Management: Managing those sugar levels becomes a lot easier by consuming millets as these are rich in Fiber. Digestive System Health: The same fiber that manages your sugar, plays an important role here as well as it improves digestion and prevents constipation.. If still not being able to poop properly, stop watching reels while you do it. 😂 Bone Health is also benefited by the consumption of calcium rich millets such as ragi. So you see, the benefits of millets are so immense that they actually justify them being called Nutri-cereals! Include some millets in your daily diet and we promise, your body will thank you, and you can thank us, the best dietitian in chandigarh, later! Make dosas, rotis/parathas, khichdi, pulao, salads, upma, even sweets using these God’s gifts to mankind! “Sehatmand Raho, Sukhi Raho!” (Stay Healthy, Stay Happy)

Yeh Wala Wrong Number Hai: Diet Facts Vs Fiction

customised diet plan, General Updates, health benefits, You Need to Know / healthy2bfit-new

“Arey chawal mat kha, mota ho jaega”.. “Weight kam karna hai? Do time khana chod de”.. Heard these from people around you? What if we, Healthy2Bfit, the best dietitian in India, tell you these are all myths, far from fact! The word myth originates from the Greek word “Mythos” which translates to fiction. Let’s talk about some common myths that surround our eating habits and also let’s discover the truth! Be prepared, these might just end up shocking you because not everything you have been hearing and implementing is true! GHEE (CLARIFIED BUTTER) IS DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR HEALTH: Now let’s start with the obvious. “Excess of everything is bad”. The same applies to the consumption of ghee. Studies have proven that moderate consumption of Ghee is actually beneficial for your health. It is rich in fat soluble vitamins and helps in keeping your digestive system working perfectly! We touched upon the benefits of Ghee in the DESI SUPERFOODS article we published on our website.. Make sure you read that as well! The best part is that though earlier it was thought that even moderate consumption affects the cholesterol levels negatively, recent research has proven otherwise. So go ahead, enjoy the benefits of ghee in your daily diet, but remember, moderation is key! HAVING LEMON WATER IN THE MORNING WILL MAKE YOU SHED WEIGHT It has been common belief that having lemon water on an empty stomach in the morning results in weight loss but what if we tell you this alone won’t achieve the targets you set out with? See at Healthy2Bfit, Dietitian Diksha, the best dietitian in India, has always guided how weight loss is not dependent on one factor alone. Weight Loss and maintaining it at the desired levels is interdependent between burning the right calories and having the right, best diet for weight loss. Although yes, there is no denying the hydrating properties lemon water has! SUMMERS ARE COMING AND THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN SUGARCANE JUICE. In India, especially in the north, there is a traditional belief that sugarcane juice is wonderful for the body. We have folks around us who happily indulge in 2 or even 3 glasses of this yummy, hydrating drink! There are many essential vitamins and minerals in this summer drink, but did you pay attention to the extreme levels of sugar that a glass of sugarcane juice has? Not only does this lead to weight gain, but also exposes your body to an unhealthy spike in blood sugar levels. And no, it’s not just us saying this as recent news articles point out towards the same. So remember as we at Healthy2Bfit, the best dietitian in Chandigarh always say, be moderate and enjoy that glass of refreshing sugarcane juice. VEGETARIAN DIET HAS EVERYTHING BUT PROTEIN IN THEM! Chickpeas (chana), Oats, Peas, Tofu, Nuts, Chia Seeds, Paneer, Beans, Lentils, Quinoa, Sprouts, Broccoli, Sweet Potatoes, Guava… You know we can go and on if you ask about vegetarian sources of protein and some of these are really high in it! We have a lot of athletes in the Healthy2Bfit family, who have trusted their nutrition and bodies with the best dietitian in india. A question we always receive from the vegetarian folks is will they have to eat non veg stuff to maintain the required protein intake? And the answer has been a straight NO! Apart from the foods mentioned above, there are many more like spirulina and hemp seeds and we will tell you all about it once you sign up for the best diet plan for your requirements with us. JUST SKIP MEALS AND THE WEIGHT WILL VANISH! JUST LIKE “CHEEN TAPAK DUMDUM” This cheen tapak dum dum meme was really cool and it reminds us about the most common myth of them all, skip your meals and magic shall happen. But just think about it, has it ever helped? Ever thought it could lead to weight gain? Skipping meals literally disrupts your metabolism and ruins the way your body reacts to food. Not only do you overeat later, but it’s usually unhealthy crap that you end up eating. A disturbed sleep cycle, irritability and constant fatigue are some other perks that you “will have to” enjoy! So don’t skip that meal, just plan it right! Get ready for the second part of FACTS VS FICTION as we tell you some more myths that you need to say bye bye to! “Sehatmand Raho, Sukhi Raho!” (Stay Healthy, Stay Happy)

The Real Desi Boys! The Indian Superfood Club

customised diet plan, health benefits, punjabi diet plan, Types of Diet, weight loss / healthy2bfit-new

Haldi (turmeric) and desi ghee (clarified butter)… haven’t we all grown up listening to our mothers and elders telling us all about the benefits of these two “Desi Superfoods”? Well, today we shall delve deep into the 8 Indian Superfoods that are not mentioned as much as the above two, but are important and beneficial enough to be categorised as superfoods. Include these in your daily diet and read carefully as Diksha Sharma, the best dietitian in Patiala, explains these superfoods’ benefits! Let’s start with two superstars of every household, Ghee and Haldi! GHEE (Clarified Butter): The first advice given to every kid was about the immense benefits Ghee has! Ghee or clarified butter not only reduces the GI (Glycemic Index) of food, but also improves digestion and helps with constipation as well. The benefits for your skin are immense as well because Ghee has nourishing and moisturising properties. HALDI (Turmeric): The lead character in almost every Indian kitchen is Haldi or turmeric. Haldi is rich in antioxidants, helps fight off infection and plays a key role in boosting your body’s recovery system! Apart from detoxification, Haldi is of great benefit for your cardiovascular system too. Recent studies have pointed out that Turmeric has properties that are critical for fighting cancer and keeping it away. AMLA (Indian Gooseberry): Have it as a Murabba or eat it as a pickle.. Chomp on a tasty amla candy or eat it raw.. We at Healthy2Bfit have been huge advocates of the medical properties of Amla. It is your warrior against diabetes and cancer. Want to make your skin and hair shine and glow? Amla is the answer! Plus Amla has anti-aging properties also, so if you want to slow down that aging, grab an amla right now! KELA (Banana): When we were growing up and were always hungry, our parents used to hand us a banana because they knew what good this humble fruit would do to us. Bananas are extremely rich in potassium and that makes them good for our heart. High Fiber content also makes bananas important for anyone looking to improve their gut health. Magnesium, Anti Oxidants, Prebiotics, Tryptophan and Good sugars are just some of the other important elements that bananas are rich in. JAMUN (JAVA PLUM/BLACK PLUM): Jamuns are literally Amrit for people fighting against Diabetes. Found in abundance in the Indian Subcontinent, Jamuns are great for your immune system which we, the best dietitian in India always recommended during the COVID19 pandemic. Oral Hygiene, Weight Loss, a Glowing & Radiant Skin, a Healthy Heart..all of these are the advantages of consuming Jamuns. Here’s a little known benefit of Jamuns.. They help in increasing your libido as well.. KOKUM (MALABAR TAMARIND): The killer cold drinks have little business in the tourist capital of Goa. The locals and the tourists have had a way to beat the summer sun and that is the famous Kokum drink consumed by almost everybody. Kokum is native to India’s Western Ghats and is a superfood on its own. Kokum is rich in antioxidants and provides relief from bloating and acidity. Kokum helps in fighting inflammation effectively and helps ward off chronic diseases like Cancer. Another wonder use of Kokum is in aiding weight loss owing to it reducing the production of fatty acids and secreting Serotonin which suppresses cravings and hunger. MILLETS : 2023 was declared “the year of the millet” by the United Nations General Assembly. This in itself is enough to understand the immense benefits millets have. Known as the ancient grains, millets are naturally “gluten free” and have made a strong comeback into our kitchens! Jowar, Ragi, Nachni, Bajra… these are rich in antioxidants, fiber and minerals. Thinking about shedding that fat, improving your heart health or managing your sugar levels? Well this wonder grain is the answer you have been looking for! Ragi in particular is extremely rich in Calcium and you know how important that is! KATHAL (JACKFRUIT): The cult movie Gangs of Wasseypur had a very intense sequence about taking down Sultan Qureshi that featured a hilarious take on Kathal.. The scene features the actors discussing the various ways in which this superfood can be consumed.. Pickle it, make Kofta, dice it up and make a yum veggie,.. Do anything but do include this in your diet. Known commonly as the poor man’s meat, Kathal is rich in Vitamin C, and keeps inflammation away. It is low on the Glycemic Index and thus helps prevent your sugar levels from shooting up. Apart from boosting your immunity, Kathal also keeps your Blood Pressure in check owing to it being high in Flavonones. And how could we forget about how effective it is in keeping your skin glowing? We hope you incorporate these 8 Desi Superfoods in your daily diet and we can promise you that the wonders these will do to your body and mind, are no less than finding the key to perfect health! For any of your diet related needs, remember to consult the best Dietitian in Punjab, Healthy2Bfit !

This accessibility enables them to lead a healthy lifestyle outside of their home by providing a haven for workouts, exercise, and other physical activities like walking, jogging, or yoga. The diet plans of Chandigarh are in alignment with the Punjabi cuisines and are flavourful as well. Being in proximity to Haryana, Uttrakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, this place is a cultural hotspot where people from all walks of life and various cultures reside. This makes the city a vibrant urban space with various cuisines and local delicacies as well. An abundant supply of food items such as grains, vegetables, fruits, etc., makes it easier for you to buy them at a cheaper price than in most big cities. Ghee is an integral part of Punjabi cuisine that adds a lot of calories to the food. While it is a great source of energy, reducing its intake amount can be very beneficial due to recent adulteration reports. Many people prefer vegetarian food and non-veg consumption is low in comparison to its vegetarian counterpart. A Balance Diet Carbohydrates: Including whole grains like wheat (chapati, roti), rice, and oats is a must. These provide energy and fiber. Proteins: Try to incorporate both vegetarian sources (paneer, pulses, lentils) and non-vegetarian sources (chicken, fish, eggs) to support muscle growth and repair. Fats: Opting for healthier fats like those found in nuts, seeds, and plant oils has numerous benefits. Limit saturated fats found in ghee and butter.

Choose local fruits like mangoes, guavas, and citrus fruits for added nutrients and antioxidants. Dairy: Dairy products like milk, yogurt, and paneer are common in North Indian diets.
