Eating healthy and feeling good are two important elements of everyone’s day that should always be considered. In Mumbai, there are ample opportunities to explore the city, stay at a hotel, carry out business plans, and live your average, day-to-day lifestyle, but in the fast-paced world that we live in, attaining proper nutrition can be difficult. There are many points for consumers to consider when evaluating their food needs.
 

Food on the Run

As technology and new industries have entered the workplace, the pace at which the every-man moves can make eating healthy difficult. Grabbing food on-the-go is becoming increasingly necessary, and the food industry in Mumbai is shaping to meet those needs.

A study done by Technopak, Gurgaon-based, management consulting firm, showed that the Indian market for chain restaurants was at an estimated $2.5 billion in 2013, and it is anticipated to grow $8 billion by 2020. With fast food restaurants steadily rising in Mumbai and surrounding areas, the ease at which consumers can grab and eat fast food has made health experts weary.

Balancing Your Die

According to The Times of India, the readily accessible, high-calorie processed food and tech gadgets has put many Mumbai residence at high risk of becoming obese or experiencing hypertension and other health issues.

When eating fast-food, counting calories and checking for nutritional information can be difficult, but if fast-food restaurants are a part of your daily routine, those empty calories and high fat contents can be adding up to an unwanted end. Consumers who Get Diet Tiffin Service In Mumbai can pick from a variety of healthy meals that are delivered to your door; this service is unique and based on the needs of the health conscientious consumer.

The Indus Health Plus surveyed 35,662 people in Mumbai, who came for health screenings, and found that 15-percent were close to facing obesity and related, health problems.

Maintaining a well-balanced diet is crucial to a healthy lifestyle, but unfortunately, many fast food restaurants aren’t providing nutritious and balanced options to consumers.

Money Matters

Buying the right ingredients and preparing healthy meals can be seem a daunting task for the busy worker, and in many cases, just buying groceries is a nearly unmanageable task when most hours are accounted for.
If going to the market for produce is not in your plans for the week, then buying healthy food at a reasonable cost is probably a priority. Those consumers that Get Diet Tiffin Service In Mumbai can enjoy a cost-effective means to attain nutritious, hot meals throughout the day.
 
All About Flavor

Enjoying a tasty lunch or meal is one of the many gifts that we get to experience during the day. Consumers can pick from a variety of places for their meals, and when you can have both healthy and tasty meal options, you can ease your mind and eat up.

Mumbai-based consumers can live in a fast-paced world and still eat nutritious and conveniently delivered meals. With health concerns, on the global scale, becoming increasingly talked about by dietitians and health experts, choosing the wholesome food options is the best way to maintain a well-rounded and healthy lifestyle.

While water is essentially replacing fluid, tea replaces fluids but it as well contains antioxidants so it’s got two things going for it. What makes tea healthier than drinking water; it’s because of the fact that tea is not just a comforting and pleasant beverage, but it also contains remarkable healing properties and often tea has been referred to as ‘wonder drink’.

Drinking three or more cups of tea each day is as good as taking plenty of water but tea has many benefits unlike taking water. According to UK nutritionists, they found out that tea does not only rehydrate like water but it also protects against heart diseases and other cancers.

One doctor by the name Dr. Ruxton said, “Drinking tea is actually better for you than drinking water.” Taking four cups of healthy tea can cut drastically the chances of having a heart attack. Other benefits that can be derived from consumption of fit tea is protection against tooth decay and tooth plaque and it also helps in bone strengthening this is through its content, fluoride.

According to experts, tea contains flavonoids which are the key ingredients of tea that promote health. In addition to the presence of flavonoids, fit tea also contains guarana which was used by Indians during great famines in order to reduce the hunger sensation and also restore energy and vitality needed in such times.

Guarana found in fit tea also helps greatly in sharpening memory through its antioxidants. It improves intellectual performance. It increases concentration thus making it a perfect beverage of students, sportsmen and any other person who has a need to remain alert and energized.. Guarana also reduces the effect on stress. In increasing the blood circulation, guarana is effective in both preventing and slowing down the progression of different diseases.

Since tea contains caffeine, it has over the years been perceived that it is dehydrating but according to nutritionist Claire Williamson, this is just a myth. If you had a really strong cup of fit tea, you would still have a net gain of fluid.

Basically, taking a cup of fit tea helps the body in great way unlike just taking water. Having covered the above ways in which tea is healthier than taking plain water, I would encourage you to grab a sample of our fit tea today. It’s so much affordable yet with priceless benefits.

1. Why did you decide to enter the fitness industry? 

After delivering 2 boys as any other woman tried to cut down on that extra fat on my body. Tried all kinds of yo yo diets, paid a good amount of money to the so called dieticians. Kept on going through the same circle of loosing few kilos on scale, and as soon as quitted the diet, went back to square one.

Finally planned to give up all diets, started exercising and eating a balanced diet, which could be followed life long. I saw such awesome changes in my body, not only in terms of fat loss, but also in terms of strength, stamina, agility, power.

I became a happier soul, more confident. So decided that if can share my experience with all those men and women who are struggling for years to lose fat in a right way, so that it never comes back, would be a great achievement for me.

Hence totally dedicated myself to promoting health and fitness.

2. What are your specialties as a fitness professional? 

I've done my group certification with Reebok.

I've done my Personal Training certification with AMERICAN COUNCIL ON EXERCISE.

I'm certified in Pilates, Kickboxing, and Prenatal and Postnatal workouts.

I've done workshops in TRX AND BOSU workouts.

I'm a certified nutritionist by BFY MUMBAI.

People ask me WHERE ARE THE MACHINES IN YOUR GYM.

3. What's a great piece of advise that you've given to a client?

I see a lot of excellent and certified fitness coaches here in India. But what I have realized is that what we need as per the times is Fitness motivators.

We have to train the brain before training any other muscle group. People give it up very fast, everyone is looking for a short cut.

4. Can you please share any major mistakes that fitness professionals make?

My piece of advice to my clients and every one reading this is that take care of your body.

Just give 30 minutes 5 days a week to yourself.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN YOURSELF, FAT LOSS WILL BE THE ICING ON THE CAKE.

5. Where do you see yourself professionally in the next five and ten years from now?

Few year from now I see people following what I try to enforce today;

FAT LOSS IS NOT A ONE DAY, ONE MONTH OR ONE YEAR PROJECT,

It's a LIFESTYLE CHANGE.

A part of alternative medicine for hundreds of years, detoxification is about resting, rejuvenating and nourishing the body from the inside out.

"Incentive programs are not wellness programs," said Dr. Ronald Goetzel, Director of Emory University's Institute for Health and Productivity Research and President and CEO of The Health Project. "That can be a component, when done smartly, of a comprehensive program, but if that's all your program is going to be, you're going to fail miserably, and people are going to be resentful," he explained. According to Goetzel -- who has studied worksite wellness programs at large corporations such as Dow Chemical and Johnson & Johnson, and is being funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to study best practices in the field -- incentive programs can help get people excited about health and keep them on track, but ultimately people's habits will only change if they are given the resources to change them and if the workplace norms and environments change. 

Without the other pieces to facilitate behavior change -- healthy cafeterias, opportunities to exercise, flexible work hours, supportive leadership and middle managers, and health risk assessments and coaching -- incentive programs will only penalize, not change, those who are least healthy.

Dear All, I do think that both sweets and medicines have their values. However, are we having an unhealthy quantity and quality of sweets leading us to having more type of and expensive medicines? Today after gym, I went to a supermarket store in the same mall, however, it had closed because it was after 10 pm. There's a market next to the mall. I walked on the main road next to the market looking for a shop to be selling a kind of very healthy cereals. I walked till the end of the market but didn't see such a shop (perhaps there is but was closed). However, I saw some different sweets shops and medicine shops open. Also, how much regular healthy unadulterated food are we having? In this regard, you might also get value from http://www.healthfitnessindia.com/profiles/blogs/food-adulteration-in-india-issues-and-basic-to-advanced-solutions post. I wish that thinking of these would be of value. Best, Shakti

Yesterday evening, the person who opens/closes the gym told me that I lift the most weight there. I told him that I'm a small guy and that there are so many much bigger people and also great bodybuilders and that I wish that I can keep improving lifelong. Then I searched for videos on Kashmir given the highly unfortunate current issue. Besides other videos, I also watched Defending the LoC Part-1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apddqw6Ks4g, Part-2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp2idHxTErM and Part-3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C74MR9g2R0c. Salute to Sipahi (Soldier) who laughs off the fear to protect me. This salute is to all Sipahis worldwide who protect humans. Imagine a world in which all such soldiers unite against those disregarding the universal human values.

After these videos, I read a spiritual article (I usually read an article at night with dad who generally gives it from one of the books). It was about mann (mind) and that it has ichcha-shakti (power to desire) and sankalp-shakti (power of intention). I've thought of several times to also go to gym in the morning for doing cardio since I lift weights during evening. I went to gym once in the morning some days ago the day after I reactivated the Health and Fitness India site http://www.healthfitnessindia.com. I reactivated it sooner than I had thought thinking that if we can't be healthy and fit then our heads might not remain in the proper place for long. Given current events, things seem very unfortunate in India and that being much healthier and fitter should help us do much better.

Today morning, I woke up without any alarm and that when I saw the time it was few minutes before 7am and that the gym in my apartment complex opens at 7am. However, I felt that I hadn't recovered from yesterday evening's workout well enough. I've to speed up recovery with nutrition products. For some months, I'm regularly eating eggs, often kala chana (bengal gram), sometimes soya and then lentils, oats, milk and other veg. food as protein sources. So I rested for another hour and half and then went to gym.

A different person opens/closes the gym in the morning. I spoke to him in general and that when I asked his name, he said Manveer! (Man here stands for Mind and Veer for Brave). He said that he wants to do business after some years. I told him that he can start today by selling imported and affordable anti pollution mask made using Defense technology which will be a great service to society and he can also earn well on the side. He told me to show it to him which I would. I wish that all of us can keep improving our society and environment worldwide. Best!
