🍎 Tracking Calories: The Real Story! ⚖️

Ever tried tracking your calories and felt confused? You’re not alone! Here’s what you need to know:

Counting calories means adding up everything you eat and comparing it to what you burn through activity. Simple, right? If you eat more than you burn, your body stores the extra as weight. Eat less than you burn, and you’ll lose weight. Balance them, and you maintain your weight.

BUT—it’s not quite that simple!

What Most People Miss:

Your body uses energy for more than just exercise. Breathing, your heartbeat, blood flow, and all those behind-the-scenes processes burn calories too!
Plus, the calories listed on food labels are just estimates—they don’t always match what your body actually absorbs. Factors like age, height, weight, hormones, stress, sleep, and even the weather can change how your body uses energy.

So, Is Tracking Worth It?

Absolutely! While it’s impossible to be 100% accurate, tracking your calories gives you a good estimate and helps you make healthier choices. It’s a fantastic tool for building awareness and staying motivated on your health journey.

INDIAN SPICES AND HEALTH
Indian culinary tradition promotes health through its rich use of spices and ingredients, each offering unique benefits that go far beyond flavor. Spices like turmeric, cumin, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, and black pepper are foundational in Indian cooking and are packed with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and essential vitamins and minerals.

Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent that helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases, supports immunity, and aids digestion.

Cumin and coriander aid digestion, boost immunity, and help regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

Ginger and garlic are known for their anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits, as well as their ability to boost immunity and heart health.

Cardamom and cinnamon help regulate blood pressure, improve digestion, and have antimicrobial properties.

Black pepper enhances nutrient absorption and supports metabolism and gut health.

These spices not only make meals flavorful but also support digestion, boost immunity, regulate blood sugar, promote heart health, and help prevent inflammation and infections. This holistic approach, rooted in both culinary tradition and Ayurveda, makes Indian cuisine a powerful ally for long-term wellness.

TRADITIONAL INDIAN FOOD:
Indian food traditionally naturally align with healthy lifestyle choices through their emphasis on balanced, nutrient-rich meals, mindful eating, and the use of health-promoting ingredients.

Balanced Nutrition:
Traditional Indian meals are built around a variety of vegetables, whole grains and legumes which provide essential vitamins, minerals, fiber and plant-based protein. This balance supports digestion, sustained energy, and muscle development, while helping maintain a healthy weight and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

Health-Boosting Spices and Herbs:
Indian cuisine makes extensive use of spices such as turmeric, ginger, garlic and cumin, known for their anti-inflammatory, digestive, and immune-boosting properties. These ingredients not only add flavor but also contribute to heart health, improved gut function, and overall wellness.

Vegetarian-Friendly and Plant-Based:
A significant portion of Indian cuisine is vegetarian, offering a wide range of dishes that are both satisfying and rich in nutrients. Meals with different dals, lentils and various vegetable curries are staples that support a plant-based, healthy lifestyle.

Ayurvedic Principles and Mindful Eating:
Indian food traditions are deeply influenced by Ayurveda, which promotes mindful eating and balance in the diet. This approach encourages eating fresh, home-cooked meals, savoring each bite, and choosing foods that support both physical and mental well-being.

Digestive Health and Immunity:
Fermented foods (like yogurt, kanji and dosa), fiber-rich grains, and probiotic ingredients are common in Indian diets, supporting gut health and boosting immunity. Herbs and spices like amla (Indian gooseberry) and tulsi (holy basil) are also valued for their immune-strengthening properties.

Home Cooking and Customization:
Indian food traditions favor home-cooked meals using fresh ingredients, less oil, and minimal preservatives, making it easier to control nutrition and adapt dishes to individual health needs.

Calories OR Chemicals!! Part 2.

Well! In The last post we determined that Calories were definitely Better and Safer Than Chemicals if had in the balanced amount.

About Chemicals ...
It is not only Via Food that we maybe consuming these so called Harmful Chemicals BUT these Chemical enter our bodies Through our Skin and also through our breadth.
While there are lots of ways in which we maybe exposing our bodies to these harsh Chemicals, there certainly are means of controlling them too.

Lets cover some pointers right here...

Chemicals enter us everytime
- we heat our food in Plastic.
- we drink out of plastic bottles. (especially the use n throw ones)
- we eat out of packs and cans of ready to eat food.

TRY TO AVOID WHEREVER POSSIBLE!!

Our SKIN absorbs these Chemicals whenever
- we use Harsh Cosmetics, Creams, Lotions, Sunscreens etc
- we use Harsh toiletries ( Soaps, Shampoos, Conditioners etc)
- we wear clothes washed in Harsh Detergents.
- we sleep on and under sheets cleaned in Harsh Detergents.

TRY TO USE THEM WISELY. GO FOR THE "NATURAL" ALTERNATIVES.

We BREATHE these chemicals everytime
- we do active or passive smoking.
- we use Strong Cleaning agents at homes and offices.
- we are exposed to air pollution.
- we come in touch with Strong Smells.

AVOIDING THEM WHEN AND WHERE POSSIBLE IS THE BEST THING TO DO.

We are surrounded by loads and loads of chemicals ... maybe sometimes we are not even aware of what and how they get into us. But we can surely start being more attentive and TRY to follow simple measures to atleast minimise them from our lives.

REMEMBER!! WE HAVE A CHOICE !

CHOOSE YOUR HEALTH TODAY!!
