Fellow Indians,
๐ด Most of you are not eating enough protein. You need atleast 1.2 gms/BW protein & you are not getting that.
๐ด Legit sources of Protein (considering all aspects) are
โ Meat
โ Fish
โ Eggs
โ Chicken
โ Paneer
โ Cheese
โ Greek Yoghurt (> than Dahi)
โ Whey
๐ด Dal, Rajma, Moong etc can only be counted as secondary sources of Protein. They aren't good enough.
๐ด Soy will mess up your already messed up health even further. A chance you can't take
๐ด Seed Oils/ Refined are toxic af!
๐ด Every time you reheat them (or any oil) you are walking towards disease.
๐ด Saving some money on Oil will bite you back later.
๐ด Use Ghee, Coconut oil, Butter
๐ด Mustard, Groundnut, Sesame oils are not great either. Maybe not as bad as Refined oils. Use sparingly if you wish to.
๐ด You are eating too much Carbs
๐ด Grains mainly. Rice, Wheat, Millets... Sugar too.
๐ด That is why you are getting Diabetic & other Metabolic issues.
๐ด Be proud about your culture & diet all you want, but your food (Idli, Dosa, Poha, Luchi, Kachori, Dhokla....) is not suitable for the modern times. Most of you do zero physical activity & this food is not for that.
๐ด Substituting one type of grain with another won't do anything for you.
๐ด Excess Grains is why you are constantly bloated, farting, acidic etc. That is not normal.
๐ด Most of you including people in 20s have Hyperinsulinemia. Get Fasting/PP Insulin tested.
๐ด Most of you are Vitamin D deficient. You need to Supplement.
๐ด Most of you, especially Vegetarians are deficient in Vitamin B12.
๐ด Do these tests periodically to assess your health
โ HbA1C
โ Fasting/PP Glucose
โ Fasting/PP Insulin
โ Lipid Profile
โ Hs-CRP
โ LFT
โ KFT
โ Vitamin D
โ Vitamin B12
โ Homocysteine
And you will know the reality.
๐ด Barely getting above the Lab ranges is not enough!
๐ด Just because you don't look Fat visibly, doesnt mean you don't have any issues. Let blood reports speak.
๐ด Indians are mostly Skinny fat, we have low Muscle mass because of low Protein consumption.
๐ด Stop eating Sugar. Whether you are young or old, diabetic or not.. sugar is not good for you.
๐ด Fruits are not something great as it's made out to be. Natural sugar is still sugar. Same with jaggery & honey. Not meant for people with Metabolic issues.
๐ด Carbs need to be under control.
๐ด Leafy greens are not very nutritious either.
๐ด You need to worried about your Triglyceride levels.
๐ด Many of you are walking into a Fatty liver at a very young age.
๐ด Eating Processed food on top of a naturally carb heavy diet is not serving you well.
๐ด Kids will suffer the most. Childhood obesity, diabetes, fatty liver etc are on the rise.
๐ด Stop looking for magic workouts & herbs to solve your issues. Those doesn't work.
๐ด Protein doesn't damage the kidneys!
๐ด Protein doesn't elevate Uric acid!
๐ด Protein doesn't cause Indigestion!
๐ด Whey is not Steroids!
๐ด Protein is not just for bodybuilders.
๐ด Resistance training is a must, for men & women. Otherwise you'll succumb to Sarcopenia & have a miserable ending. That's not part of Ageing, that is part of your crappy living.
๐ด Diabetes is not Genetic, you & your parents are eating same kind of crap then what do you expect?
๐ด Men are having erectile Dysfunction (no need to hide)
๐ด Women are infertile from PCOS
๐ด Being a Fat aunty with big arms & a skinny uncle with pot belly is pathetic.
๐ด Eggs in the market are Unfertilized, meaning no chick will hatch. It's Vegetarian.
๐ด Eating multiple meals a day will worsen your Hyperinsulinemia & Insulin resistance.
๐ด Dark skin on neck, skin tags etc are classic signs of Insulin resistance. Do blood tests as recommended.
๐ด Many people are trying to take advantage of your nutritional illiteracy & made a business out of it. Don't fall for RDs, LDs, CBs...
๐ด Most of you are one hospital bill away from being broke. Take care of your health. Don't cheap out on that.
Thank you!
Delhi deserve to be choked! Let me know who won in the firecrackers ๐งจ competition between the two neighbours!
Thanks everyone for bringing back the AQI of 650 after a beautiful light rain ๐ง๏ธ 2 days back!
Nature canโt save you until you change your behaviours.
#AndhraPradesh - Devotee drops a cheque of Rs 100 crore at Sri Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Vari Devasthanam in Simhachalam, in Visakhapatnam. Temple staff found it in the hundi.
When temple authorities contacted the bank to encash, the devoteeโs bank balance was Rs 17.
Just completed reading "Three thousand stitches" by Sudha Murthy. It's a good book packed with many short stories that inspires you to stick to the right path.
Deeply saddened by the news of the passing away of Telugu cinema superstar, Ghattamaneni Krishna ji.
His unmatched professional discipline and work ethics set an example on conduct in public life. My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and fans.
