Hi there,.I hope you are well. Since, you are training for a marathon, here's what you need to do. -Small out your meals, which means have meals at regular intervals, including mid meals. Have 4-6 meals throughout the day. - Before your practice, add dried fruits, fruits, to your diet. - Your requirements for carbohydrates, protein,and fats is likely to go up. -You will need 60% of carbs ( as this is going to be the primary source of energy), Protein-20% ( this will help in building muscles, recovery, and providing strength throughout. Get your complex carbs such as oats, wheat, barley, broken wheat, and protein sources such as lean meat, dairy, eggs, beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds. - Fats will be 20% to provide satiety, fight inflammation, hormone production, and for absorption of nutrients such as Vitamin D, E, K, and A.Nuts, seeds, fatty fish, eggs, avocado are great sources. - Drink enough water as hydration is important during, in between, and post the marathon. Take care ✨✨

how many chapati is considered healthy for a 28 year old 5.2 feet 60 weight breastfeeding mom of 2.3 year old. how should a nutritious daily diet look like? I was 55 before being pregnant. I am finding it hard to lose the extra weight. I was also diagnosed with hypoglycemia after which I felt the urge to eat more and started weight gain.

Hi there, I hope you are well. It is important to understand your entire lifestyle to be able to suggest a proper diet. I'd urge you to book a one-one consultation so that I can plan a personalized diet for you as per your daily requirement and nutritional needs. - Essentially two chapatis, along with sabji ( a fibre source) and dal/pulses ( protein) should be good to start with. - A daily nutritious diet should have a blend of enough complex carbohydrates ( oats, wheat, barley), protein ( beans, lentils, sprouts, dairy and dairy products, nuts, and seeds, eggs, chicken, fish), and good fats ( fatty fish, nuts, seeds). Majority of your calories come from carbs, then, protein, and then good fats. - Gradually add some activity in to your routine, it can begin from walking and then you can opt for body weight exercises, Tabata, HIIT, etc. Move as much as possible. - Don't leave a gap of more than 3-4hrs in between your meals. - Get good sleep, and manage stress Take care ✨

For those interested in more comprehensive fitness tracking, devices like FitBit Flex and Jawbone UP combine wristbands with mobile apps to track heart rate, activity, sleep patterns, and even food intake.

For smartphone users, Google Fit, Samsung Health, and the 3DTriSport pedometer are popular choices. Google Fit and Samsung Health offer step tracking, cycling tracking, and other fitness features, while the 3DTriSport pedometer provides accurate step tracking.

I’m training for a marathon and want to optimize my nutrition for performance. What should my pre-race and post-race meals look like

Pre-race Eat a balanced meal rich in complex carbs, moderate in protein, and low in fat 2-3 hours before the race. Think oatmeal with fruit and nuts, or a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread. Post-race Aim for a combination of protein and carbs to aid in recovery. Options include a turkey wrap with veggies, a smoothie with protein powder and fruit, or grilled chicken with sweet potatoes and greens.

Na_Dia・15d

Post-race meals are crucial for recovery and should include a mix of protein and carbohydrates to replenish glycogen stores and repair muscles. Good options are a protein smoothie with fruits, grilled salmon with quinoa and vegetables, or a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread. Hydration is also key, so don't forget to drink plenty of water.

Hi. Hope you are doing good! A sedentary lifestyle, especially as a working individual can have negative consequences. To beat this, form a proper, doable routine for yourself. Wake up and have some water. Go for a half an hour walk and come back. Take a shower and hop into the kitchen to prepare some healthy breakfast for yourself. Between your work, make sure you take 5-10 min out for short walks or stretches. Basically some form of movement is very important. Take your lunch on time In the evenings, you can take a work break and water plants, dust the furniture, etc. you can even go for a walk. Have your dinner on time and try to sleep early. If you incorporated exercise in your routine, you will probably fall asleep early. Make sure you read a few pages of some book before you sleep

NutritionistHudaShaikh・5d

Hi there, I hope you are well. Here's how you can change from a sedentary to a moderately active lifestyle. - Get up early, and go for a walk. You can walk for 25-30mins every morning. This way you will get enough sunlight as well. - In between your work, take short breaks and ensure to stretch or walk for 5-10mins. - Walk after your meals, 10-15 mins after lunch and dinner. - Even when you are at home, don't sit at the same place for more than 45mins, get up do a walk and, some Stretching. - You can do home-based workouts for 15-20mins and upscale as and when you are ready to do so. - Eat a balanced diet with enough fibre, protein, and fats. - Incorporate fruits and vegetables in your diet, and avoid packaged, processed, and refined foods. - Sleep for 7-8hrs hours daily and drink 8-10 glasses of water. - You can even do household chores as and when you get time, as it is a great way to bring in some movement ang burn calories. - Incorporate meditation and yoga to keep stress at bay ✨

Daha az kıyafetle daha fazla kombinasyon yaparak gardırobu basitleştirmek ve sadeleştirmek günümüz şartlarında artık herkesin istediği bir şey haline geldi. Bunu uygulamak kolay mı? Moda dünyasında yeni trendler hız kesmeden devam ettiği için bence değil🥲 Ama bunun farkındalığının başlaması ve sadeleşmeye çabalamamız bile çok güzel bir adım bence.🌸

Manifesting starts from the wish and the burning desire to achieve goal in life write your goals and process as well to achieve the goal visualise the process as well as the goal that you are achieving through this process and consistency is the key if do it consistently you will surely achieve it affirmations with visualisation will also help

Astroscience_Shagun・12d

Hey Deepti, Good to see you here.. To manifest anything I suggest three Ws.. 1st is Wish then Will power and then Way When you have a strong desire to manifest your wish, keep faith and start enjoying the wish as if it has happened in your reality and then start applying the ways or various methods whichever fits best for your desires.

i’m Menna. I’m a holistic health Coach, and my passion is to help women to maintain a healthy lifestyle that is sustainable. I received my training and education as a health coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York. During my nutrition training, I was introduced to over 100 dietary theories from Eastern to Western, ancient to modern and everything in between to come to identify that the offered food on our plate is secondary to our relationships, career, financial challenges, spirituality, home cooking, physical movement, stress management and our self-care, all of which are aspects of life that we call primary foods. Balancing our primary foods is what fills our souls and satisfy our hunger for life. I am here not to provide a list of food restrictions nor to reside on calories count or proteins or fats or carbs but I’m here to start with you the journey of holistic wellness. I’m here to empower you to recognize the areas of imbalances on and off the plate in your lives. My mission is to guide you to a happier and healthier life that you can sustain as a lifestyle. Along the journey we will achieve goals that include;improving gut health by focusing on whole real foods, reducing comfort junk foods, treating sugar cravings, balancing blood sugar, maximizing sleep quality, energy and spirituality, applying stress management tools and maintaining relationships. more
