Hi there, I hope you are well. Ideally, there are a few foods or beverages that you should be cautious while consuming. - Fish- High mercury levels are found is certain fishes such as swordfish, king mackerel, tile fish, shark, blue fin tuna, sea bass, etc. These fishes are best avoided rather you can opt for salmon, shrimp, sardines, etc. - Alcohol- Alcohol is best avoided. However, occasional consumption once in a while not more than 30ml is okay but do reconfirm with your doctor before consumption. - Caffeine - Two small cups of caffeine are fine to consume but one should avoid going overboard. - Packaged, processed, and refined foods- These are okay to be consumed occasionally but regular consumption can lead to weight gain, and increased cravings. Follow a healthy, well-balanced diet with loads of green leafy vegetables, yogurt, beans, pulses, lean meat, nuts, seeds, fruits, bell peppers in order to have a smooth sailing lactation phase :) I hope this helps. Take care ✨

Hi there, I hope you are well. Before and during conception nutrients like Iron, Folate, Vitamin A, Iodine, Calcium, Vitamin B12, and Protein are of prime importance. - Iron is necessary to avoid anemia, as to support the increased blood requirement in the body. Green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, dates, beans, amaranth, ragi are good sources of the same. - Folate- Folate is necessary to avoid neural tube defects in the fetus, and to support growth of the body. Leafy green, beans, lentils, nuts are good sources of the same. - Calcium- Calcium requirements increase as your bones are supporting a pregnancy ( especially the back and pelvis). Dairy and dairy products, sesame seeds, fish, leafy greens are good sources. Even fortified foods. -Vitamin D- Sunlight is the primary source. However, eggs, fish, nuts, fortified foods are some good sources of the same.Vitamin D is needed for absorption of Calcium, for immunity, bone strength, etc.

Based on my dietary habits and goals, what are some tailored nutrition strategies to support bone health, especially considering the risk of osteoporosis later in life?

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・-9d

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.

If you focus on social media then you won't be able to do justice to yourself. There are so many people out their giving different standards regarding every phase of life. You can't compete with everyone. Set your own goals and try to accomplish them.

fitwithchitraa・-6d

So since you are comparing yourself with the people in media also compare the kind of team of experts they have access to , the time they devote to this and why they do it is they make the crores or lacs out of it hence comparison is a bad space to begin with hence drop it totally, having said that it’s good love yourself and get fit for yourself and to have realistic goals that you can achieve like 2 kg per month of weight loss by eating healthy and exercising, enough and timely rest and obsessing is a rajsik man ki sthiti , the mind state here is the key , remember sculpting any body into what you like it be is a process and the good part is you started and you l reach keep at it balance is the key to progress!!!! When you start a drive u don’t obsess over when will you reach you know you will u enjoy the journey too na same with fitness enjoy the journey and trust the process , ♥️Chittrah Kanal

Sometimes I get stomach aches or feel bloated after eating certain foods. How can I identify what might be causing these discomforts and make adjustments to my diet?

Hi there, I hope you are well. To identify common food triggers and understand which foods are leading to stomach ache, bloating, and discomfort, here's what you must do. - Prepare meals with less ingredients or avoid mixing too many things together ( say for eg-if you are preparing a dal, use one or two dals at the max). - Maintain food journal in which you can write the foods eaten and it you faced any of the above mentioned symptoms ( stomach ache, bloating, dull pain, etc) Note these foods for at least a week and then, begin eliminating a given food from the diet. - There are chances that spicy food, dairy ( milk, paneer, cheese), excessive gluten, maida or maida based products, fried foods , cruciferous veggies may lead to stomach ache or pain. - Hence, once you've noticed common symptoms with the same foods then, stop consuming it for a week or 10 days, and then, reintroduce it in smaller portions. - Please feel free to book a one-one consult with me for further guidance ✨✨

Seemachaudhary・-9d

To identify food triggers for stomach aches or bloating.Keep a food diary to track symptoms after eating. Experiment with eliminating suspected trigger foods one at a time.Gradually reintroduce eliminated foods to pinpoint culprits. Consider consulting a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for guidance.

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
