Certainly! Here are some easy, nutritious meal options for working people: 1. **Overnight oats:** Prep the night before by mixing oats, milk (or a milk alternative), yogurt, and your favorite toppings like fruit, nuts, or seeds in a jar. In the morning, grab it from the fridge for a quick and nutritious breakfast. 2. **Grain bowl:** Cook a batch of quinoa, brown rice, or couscous at the beginning of the week. Throughout the week, assemble a grain bowl by adding cooked grains, protein (such as grilled chicken, tofu, or beans), and a variety of vegetables. Drizzle with your favorite dressing or sauce for flavor. 3. **Salad jars:** Layer chopped vegetables, protein (like grilled shrimp, chickpeas, or turkey), and greens in a mason jar. Store several jars in the fridge for grab-and-go lunches during the week. Add dressing just before eating. 4. **Wrap or sandwich:** Make a quick and easy wrap or sandwich using whole grain bread or a tortilla. Fill it with lean protein

**Egg muffins:** Whip up a batch of egg muffins by mixing beaten eggs with chopped vegetables, cheese, and cooked meat (optional). Pour the mixture into muffin tins and bake until set. Store in the fridge

What does silent treatment look like? When my partner ignores me for days after an argument, is that the silent treatment? How can I distinguish between needing space and being given the silent treatment, and what's the best way to address it?

Hi Dear. Thank you for the question. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. Silent treatment is when someone avoids you and stays cold to you. It's a passive aggressive response. What your partner does is silent treatment. We can say that, but that isn't healthy. Best way to address would be ask your partner that this letting him know that this reaction of his is affecting you and coming together to talk it out rather than avoiding. You both can find some neutral hobbies that you both are interested and spend quality time. Also have a talk day whenever possible to express yourself. Hope it's helpful.

Hi there, I hope you are well. The risk of osteoporosis increases due to drop in Estrogen. Tips to support bone health- - Include calcium rich foods to the diet. Dairy and dairy products, sesame seeds, green leafy vegetables, fortified foods, ragi, almonds, figs, chickpeas, black sesame seeds, etc. - Ensure to get enough Vitamin D because without it the calcium you eat won't get absorbed in the body. Get enough sunlight for at least 10-15mins daily. Include foods like lean meat ( fish, chicken), eggs, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, dairy products ( fortified with Vitamin D), etc. - For better bone health nutrients like Zinc, and magnesium are important as well. Nuts, seeds, dark chocolate ( once in 3-4 days), avocado, banana, leafy greens ,lean meat, beans, and dairy are good sources of the same. - Include weight training to improve bone density & strength. - Take supplements only if suggested by the doc. - Too much salt, caffeine, alcohol,soda, and red meat isn't great for bones. Take care

Seemachaudhary・-12d

To support bone health and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, focus on consuming calcium-rich foods like dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods. Ensure an adequate intake of vitamin D through sources like sunlight, fatty fish, and fortified foods. Incorporate magnesium-rich foods such as nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Limit alcohol and caffeine intake as they can affect bone health. Regular weight-bearing exercise also helps strengthen bones.

Hi there, I hope you are well. As a nutritionist, every food is a superfood because every food has got a purpose to serve and each food is likely to give you varied nutrients. Here's how you can make every food a super food :) - You can prepare a smoothie or mixed fruit bowl and add flaxseeds or chia seeds on top. - Add vegetables to your chilla/pancakes, you can prepare these chillas will millet flour or oats flour. - Prepare a mukhwas with different seeds and have it post lunch and dinner. - Include berries and bell-peppers in your daily routine, by using berries in your smoothies, over pancakes, etc, and bell peppers can be sauteed and added to salads, sprouts, rice, etc. - You can have green leafy vegetables at least twice a week as a soup, sabzi, in parathas, wraps, chilla, and much more. - You can grill or roast your chicken/fish, and have boiled egg salad/ or add eggs to rice, soup,have it as an omelette or sandwich. - You can prepare chickpeas/kidney beans salad, rice, & wraps.

Chia seeds: Add them to smoothies, oatmeal, or muffins for a boost of fiber, protein, and antioxidants.

Hii dear, firstly Identifying the root cause of your binge eating is crucial. Once you understand why you turn to food, you can begin addressing those underlying issues. Setting boundaries around your eating habits can help prevent impulsive behavior. Practicing mindfulness while eating encourages awareness of your body's hunger and fullness cues, promoting healthier eating habits.

Seemachaudhary・-10d

Firstly, Practice mindful eating, identify triggers, seek support from a therapist or support group, and focus on balanced meals and regular eating patterns.

To curb emotional eating, try finding alternative ways to cope with stress such as practicing mindfulness, deep breathing exercises, going for a walk, or engaging in a hobby you enjoy. Keep healthy snacks readily available, and try to identify triggers for emotional eating so you can address them directly. Additionally, consider seeking support from friends, family, or a therapist to develop healthier coping mechanisms.

You can practice meditation to calm yourself down .Also you can switch to healthier snack

If you force yourself into a diet, it might not be as effective as it could be. Additionally, it's not necessary to eliminate all foods; there are always alternatives available. I would suggest consulting a nutritionist who can help you create a personalized plan to manage your cravings and calorie intake

Anonymous・-10d

There's no need to feel pressured about it. You eat what you like and want to eat.
