Oats should be your ideal breakfast!

No matter what time is it; we prefer to have delicious and satisfying meal. It does not matter what nutrients are being consumed as long as we are satisfied with the meal. There’s nothing wrong with that but it’s always a good deal to know what’s going inside the body and how long it will stay before it is digested. There are some food options out there which are shown healthy and ideal to consume; have you ever thought of reading the nutrients chart on these packed food items? Try going to the supermarket and pick up a juice bottle which say’s healthy and 100% pure and look at the nutrient chart written somewhere around the bottle. The sugar level on these small bottles is equal to the daily consumption of sugar of a human being. Same goes with oats; buying flavoured cereals instead of plain oats results the same, further there are dead components in these cereals as they do not require cooking.

WHAT TO EAT? It sounds boring to go around the supermarket and spend time reading the nutrition chart of every food item you buy. Well, that’s what I did and it took me few days to set up my meals. Items which require cooking are ideal to eat; do not go with frozen, precooked, instant cooked food items. Instead of flavoured cereals which are no doubt; DELICIOUS, have oats and mix ingredients in it. Try honey or cocoa powder(after they are cooked), add some fruits like bananas, apple or berries. You will see a different energy in your body and it will also help you maintain healthy weight.

Secret behind consuming MILK!

In our childhood, we all have that memory of being forced to have milk and end up with a milk moustache. We never really thought why would our parents force us to drink milk? does it help in getting good marks? Do you become intelligent? No, none of those.

However, later we noticed number of powders and powdered drinks in our favourite flavours. That let us to drink milk and made things easy for the parents. Although, we are drinking milk but we don’t know the difference in the components and benefits we are getting from that mixed powdered drinks.

The companies are offering these powders which do not expire for months and years. However, if you keep a fresh fruit or a glass of milk in a container; it wont last for more than a week and will not be fit for consumption. How come these powders are full of nutritions as they say?

Secondly, there is a difference between having a glass of milk and having a glass of milk mixed with something. For instance, Tea, Coffee, flavoured powder, sugar etc. reduces the nutrients of milk by approx. 50%. Whereas, our mind is so happy that you consumed 4-5 cups of coffee with milk and you are full of nutrients.. NO! In fact, the nutrients are dead or have reached bare minimum.
The whole point here is not to stop drinking tea or coffee. It is to make people; especially parents aware that they should give their child raw milk and not mix with anything to make it taste good so the child likes it. It’s an initial struggle which we all face but then it becomes a habit.

WHEN is sugar beneficial for me?

It is said that everything that has been introduced in life has a purpose. Although we don’t think about it and continue with the people’s saying towards it. For example, Sugar has been criticised a lot and has been one of the most consumed food component at the same time. It is something similar to a medicine; you can consume it in solid form as tablets or liquid form such as syrups; the only difference is you don’t get any better with regular consumption of sugar. I have met people who really work hard at the gym and nutrition wise and they often do better than most of the trainers in the gym. Where do they go wrong? They forget to maintain the Glucose level in their body. NOTE: Glucose is present in solid and liquid form in most of the food components. Even if you are eating something which is not sweet; it may have sugar components you are not aware of! This can be the primary issue which is not letting you lose weight. Sugar, however, can be beneficial if the right amount is consumed at the right time!

Are Supplements essential?

I’ve come across people who are completely against supplements and consider them hazardous to health. On the other hand, there are some of my friends who consume supplements on a regular basis even if they don’t exercise!

Well, both of them are correct! Let’s discuss:
First Situation – NO supplements – Supplement is made up of artificial process, for people who have a very minimal workout routine should stay away from supplements as its not going to bring much of a difference. Although, if you do not burn enough calories and consume excess proteins; it might effect your digestion organs! There are healthy alternatives which you can consider!

Second Situation – Supplements – People who are against supplements and spent plenty of time in the gym; it becomes necessary for them to consume it as it helps in faster recover of the muscles. However, some population tend to stress their muscles and does not provide enough nutrient which results in reducing the productivity and muscle growth! You have to make sure your Nutrition and Workout is balanced for you to see results!

I have trouble in starting my Workout routine! WHAT TO DO?

This is one of those cases everyone has been through! We often hear these statements from people; ‘I’ll start from Monday for sure’, ‘I have tried everything; my weight is still the same’, ‘It’s not meant for me’, ‘Yes, I have membership for a year but I rarely go’ and so on. I used these statements because I have heard them personally from my friends & family. I will not lie; I am also a victim of this. It is difficult to get back to the gym when you have taken a break or come back from a vacation.

WHAT TO DO??

Well, some tricks I have adopted which have worked really well in the past. Firstly, never think of starting from Monday! Instead, go the gym in the afternoon on the weekend and get use to the environment. It will help you prepare for the coming week. Secondly, plan out your workout before you go the gym! You will know what you have to do in the gym so you don’t look in the mirror all the time. Thirdly, it is not necessary that you have to begin with Chest or Cardio; just do what you like the most, keep it at a low level so you don’t pull up any muscle. Lastly, take a friend to the gym. Most gyms offer FREE TRIAL to new customers; you can use that and have a nice time with your friend the very first day!
