You ever come across the misconception that iron-rich foods like jaggery and sesame should be avoided during periods? I'm curious to know if you've encountered this belief and what your thoughts are on it. From your personal experiences and understanding, do you believe it's true that these foods should be avoided during menstruation?
Huda is right. No need to avoid sesame seeds during periods. While jaggery does not correlate with periods, I’d say it’s generally advised to reduce food with a high glucose load at all times. Heavy glucose load leads to insulin spike that leads to insulin resistance which is the foundation of hormonal disorders like PCOS, and diabetes. Rather have ragi which is super rich in iron and if you do have a sweet tooth opt for options like stevia or monk fruit that don’t spike insulin as drastically. However, if you’d like to enjoy jaggery have it after a protein and fiber-rich meal to reduce the insulin spike!

Whenever I exercise, I get a sharp pain in my back and it continues all day long. Its really unbearable. It only happens when I exercise otherwise it doesnt. Any idea on what should I do about this?
Change the workout for a few weeks and focus on steady-state cardio along with some core strengthening stability work. Seems like either your core isn’t engaged and putting undue stress on your back or you have an injury that needs recovery. Either way, shifting focus to strengthening and engaging the core will help in both cases…. I’ll share a few stability moves here shortly and hope that helps. If the pain persists please see a good chiropractor to align your posture and recognize muscle weakness that needs focus
Answer
Someone told me that I should add cardio in my workout routine and I should do it every few days to loose weight faster. As a beginner I have no idea about it. Can you please tell me how often should I add cardio in my workout routine ? And how big of a role it has on my weightloss journey?
Not just for weight loss, even age reversal and longevity requires a combination of weight training and cardiovascular exercise. Focus on steady state cardio, like incline walk, step up, even a brisk walk at a speed that requires effort but you can still talk. Ideally we need 200 minutes of steady state cardio a week
Answer
I just started doing squats yesterday so can I do them again today? Like should I take a break as a beginning or I can continue doing them everyday ?
Every muscle if worked out properly needs about 48 hours to recover. Remember muscles grow during rest… the purpose of working out is to put enough stress on the muscle to cause tiny ruptures that lead to stronger muscles in recovery!!! Therefore proper recovery is as important as the workout. Work different muscles the next day or engage in active recovery with cardio.
Answer
I have been working out for the past one year yet I am not able to see the results I want.Its like I am stuck . I am getting really depressed about it and I cant figure out if I should continue this or not. What should I do?
Hi there, I hope you are well :) If you are not getting appropriate results even after working out, then, here are a few things that could have been going wrong. 1) You aren't getting correct nutrition, your diet lacks enough protein or certain other nutrients. You may be eating packaged/processed foods regularly. 2) You aren't hydrating yourself enough daily. 3) Your body isn't getting enough rest, you sleep pattern is not regular , you don't get proper sleep. 4) You aren't taking breaks in between, eg- take a day off from your workout, and enjoy your day by engaging in other fun activities. 5) You get stressed often, and that details your journey. Meditate, and try to stay calm. If it's anything from the above, then, a lifestyle correction is needed. Remember workout is only 20-30%, the rest is your nutrition, and other factors.
Answer
Are there any myths or misconceptions about fitness that you commonly encounter,and can u debunk them?🫶🏻
1. Women will look like men if they lift heavy. It's ridiculous since we have a different hormonal profile. We will look strong and live long! So go ahead lift heavy! 2. Intense workouts lead to heart attacks. Common cases of workout and heart attack correlation has even come into existence because of crazy uptake of fat-burners and steroids. Workout is the only way to strengthen your cardiovascular health! 3. If I miss a day I’ve lost my gains. Discipline isn’t about getting it 100% it’s about showing up after you’ve slipped. The best results come from an 80/20 split. Stay at it, and give your body the rest it needs.
Answer
How can I modify my workout routine if I have limited time avaliable for exercises?
A simple answer is to do a HIIT circuit. Engage the full body can be as short as 20 min but super powerful. However the long answer begins with a question. What is your goal? 1. Strength 2. Hypertrophy/ muscle growth 3. Weight loss 4. Age reversal / longevity Structuring your workout begins by defining your goal!
Answer
Whats the best way to incorporate strength training into my workout routine? Should I buy some workout equipments if I am doing my workouts at home? Are they necessary if I am doing strength training?
Strength training needs you to work against resistance. Whether you need weights or not depends on the strength you have built at this point. If you’re just starting, your body weight and some resistance bands are enough to get started. You will later need weights to keep improving your strength and lean muscle growth!
Answer
Many people recommended me to do yoga instead of doing hardcore exercies as they said it will harm my body. To what extent is this true?
Hi there, I hope you are well. Strength training or weight training is not harmful to one's body if the form is correct, the posture is right, nutrition is on point, and adequate rest is involved. Strength training can help in toning the body, increase muscle mass, strengthen bones, and it's great for your skin as well. When, you workout....you feel young, and look young...too. Hence, you do both yoga as well as strength training in your routine :) Keep going, and stay strong 💪

What are your recommendations for tracking progress and adjusting my fitness plans accordingly? @itstanyamalik
The Biohackers mantra is what gets measured gets managed! So setting a clear goal and tracking your progress is a must. To decide what to track and measure you need to tell me what your workout goal is? Strength? Muscle growth? Weight loss or age reversal?

This really inspired me to get onto the gym memberships of mine which was about to expire. 😂 thank you

Don't confuse mobility for flexibility or strength. It's your ability to move in a wider range of motion with control. This is a beginner's hip mobility routine, do each movement in its motion, don't treat it as a stretch, enjoy each movement with control, and focus on the mind-body connection. 1. Wild Child’s Pose on each side 2. World's Greatest Stretch on each side 3. Seated Forward bend motion 4. Eagle Pose on each leg
These movements really helped me to overcome the hip pain I had since a week. Easy and subtle to just relax
Comment
Remember, we will all grow old, but how we age is up to us! What I’m doing here is a great move for hip flexors, glutes, and hamstrings. This is a mobility workout that also builds stability and strength! Begin by mastering the move before adding weights.
Surely gonna try this!💕

If You're Looking to take your leg workout up a notch or simply need an alternative to squats Or Like me, you have a flat spine and can't do back-loaded squats but want to build solid leg and glute strength? These are some great alternatives for lower body strength, stability, and mobility: 1. Kneeling Squatted Step Ups (alternative with wall support) 2. Squat Holds (alternative against the wall)
You're really controlled. and I love how you have your movements in hand. Smooth and it really works.
Comment
Farmers’ walk benefits are seemingly endless. Improved core strength, stability, increased grip strength, enhanced muscle endurance, and greater aerobic capacity. No wonder it's a longevity training must-have!
This is the first time I am getting to know about this! Thankyousomuch 💕
