National Eat Your Vegetables Day on June 17 falls in the middle of National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month. Today's celebration is one more opportunity to remind everyone to continue with this part of a healthy diet. #EatYourVegetablesDay #LowProteinDiet #WeAlwaysEatVeggies As part of the main meal or as a snack, vegetables can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Of course, each vegetable has its own nutritional content. Generally, they contain a little protein or fat and varying proportions of vitamins such as Vitamin A, Vitamin K and Vitamin B6, provitamins, dietary minerals, and carbohydrates. Interestingly, they also contain a variety of other phytochemicals, some of which have antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anticarcinogenic properties. In addition, many vegetables also contain fiber, which is important for gastrointestinal function. Another benefit is the essential nutrients that vegetables contain that are necessary for healthy hair and skin. #WeCanPKU #WeCanHCU #WeCanMSUD #WeCanUCD #WeCanPCU #Showyourstripes #RareDisease

It’s great to have eggs with yellow yolks which can be found only in organic sources. And yes, please eat the entire egg and avoid the craze of egg white omelettes. The body creates its own cholesterol and dietary intake plays a negligible role in its production. If cholesterol levels have gone awry, it means there is an imbalance in your meals which would be comprising mainly processed, sugary carbs and oily foods. An overdose of glucose and trans fat kills good gut bacteria which impacts proper digestion. Simultaneously, the liver starts storing excess sugars to become fatty and dysfunctional. Cholesterol, the most important building block of a cell along with protein, is formed and regulated by the liver. Therefore the nutrients that we provide to the body will determine how well the liver can filter and maintain healthy cholesterol levels. So instead of eliminating foods rich in cholesterol, fix your nutrition, maintain a healthy gut and heal the liver. Avoiding the yolk, which has all the good fats, choline, Vitamins A and D as well as a whole bunch of minerals, would be akin to throwing away the baby along with the bathwater. I enjoyed my cheese and tomato omelette on sourdough. You could too. #gutfeelprogram #guthealth #holisticwellbeing #eatfortwoyourgutandyou #fibrerich #solublefibre #roughage #gutfriendly #metabolism #metabolicflexibility #feelinggreat #PreventionIsBetterThanCure #foodismedicine #nutritioncoach #insulinresistance #insulinstoresfat #healthybodycomposition #webecomewhatweeat #eatmindfully #eatwhatyoucandigest #guthealth #gutfeelprogram #healthybiome #balancedmeal #feelgreatwithdipshikkha #behealthybegutsy #powerofnutraceuticals

Today’s plate: Beetroot lemon salad, palak raita, chole dal, and vegetable dal khichdi. 1. Beetroot Lemon Salad: Beetroot is rich in iron, which is essential for healthy blood production. The vitamin C from lemon enhances iron absorption. Together, they support your iron levels. 2. Palak Raita is not only delicious but also packed with health benefits. 3. Chole Dal: Chickpeas (chole) are a great source fiber and protein, making them a wholesome choice. 4. Vegetable Dal Khichdi: Lentils (dal) are excellent for iron. Khichdi, with its mix of rice and lentils, offers a complete protein and essential nutrients. Why Avoid Iron Supplements with Inflammation? Iron supplements can be problematic for some individuals, especially if they have high inflammation in the body.  Consider including foods that improve dietary iron absorption by adding vitamin C-rich options. If you’re taking supplements to boost iron levels or to increase the absorption, always consult your dietitian — taking them without guidance can be very risky. #iron #irondeficiency #ironrichfoods #mealprep #lunch #tiffin #healthtips #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #dietitian #diet #dalchawalthedietclinic #mealplan #health

Inflammation is a symptom of many chronic diseases. If you are trying to manage high inflammation levels in your body, some dietary modifications will prove very helpful. Foods that have high levels of fat, sugar and other refined carbohydrates trigger inflammatory pathways through a number of direct and indirect ways. For instance, refined vegetables oils added to processed foods can disturb your omega-6 to omega-3 fat ratio. The modern diet (where plenty of vegetable oils, margarine, and grain-fed animal meats are consumed) typically results in too much omega 6 fat compared to omega 3 fat (fish, vegetable and seeds). This omega-6/omega-3 imbalance activates proinflammatory substances called cytokines, which contribute to fatty build-up in the arteries that leads to a chronic inflammatory state. Added sugar and refined grains cause spikes in your blood sugar which activates proinflammatory pathways. The ION (Individual Optimal Nutrition) Profile is a combination of nutritional analyses that measure levels of organic acids, fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is indicated for inflammatory conditions.(among others). If you need to find a practitioner who utilises this test, or you are a practitioner who wants to implement this test in your practice, contact Nordic Laboratories.

🍽️ **Nourishing Your Body: The Slip Disc Diet** Dealing with a slipped disc can be challenging, but maintaining a healthy diet can play a crucial role in supporting your recovery and overall well-being. Here's a breakdown of key nutrients and food groups to incorporate into your diet: 1. **Calcium & Vitamin D for Bone Health**: Strengthen your bones with calcium-rich foods like leafy greens (kale, spinach), dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese), fortified non-dairy alternatives (soy milk, almond milk), and sardines. Pair these with vitamin D sources such as fortified cereals, fatty fish (salmon, tuna), and sunlight exposure to enhance calcium absorption. 2. **Magnesium for Muscle Relaxation**: Ease muscle tension and promote relaxation with magnesium-rich foods like nuts (almonds, cashews), seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds), legumes (beans, lentils), whole grains (brown rice, quinoa), and leafy greens. 3. **Anti-Inflammatory Foods to Reduce Pain**: Combat inflammation and manage pain by including anti-inflammatory foods in your diet. Fatty fish like salmon and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Berries (blueberries, strawberries), turmeric, ginger, and green tea are also excellent choices. 4. **Protein for Tissue Repair & Strength**: Support tissue repair and muscle strength with protein-rich foods. Opt for lean meats (chicken, turkey), fish, eggs, dairy or plant-based alternatives (tofu, tempeh, legumes), and nuts/seeds. Protein is essential for rebuilding damaged tissues and maintaining muscle integrity. 5. **Hydration**: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Adequate hydration is essential for maintaining spinal health and supporting the body's natural healing processes. Remember, this slip disc diet is a complement to medical treatment and physical therapy, not a replacement. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized dietary recommendations tailored to your specific health needs. #SlipDiscRecovery #HealthyEating #NutritionForWellness #StayStrong --- Feel free to customize it as needed for your Instagram audience!

When eating a diet consisting of the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables, it may help lower the risk of heart diseases and type 2 diabetes. These diets may also help to decrease bone loss and protect against some cancers. In addition, the potassium provided may help prevent the formation of kidney stones. It is recommended by the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans to consume 3 to 5 servings of vegetables per day. However, this recommendation may vary depending on age and gender. For example, one serving of vegetables is equivalent of 1/2 to 1 cup and can be eaten either raw or cooked. #EatYourVegetablesDay
