Avocado- Benefits and Recipes

Avocado- Benefits and Recipes

For those who don’t what these orange- yellow berries in the shape of a pear; it is a tree’s fruit which is a large berry as per botany with a single seed. Avocado is the only fruit that offers 20 different vitamins and minerals with a lot of good moo saturated fats. Although most of the fruits contain carbohydrates but Avocado is the only fruit that is high on healthy fats.
Let’s talk about the health benefits of this unique fruit. Talking about the nutritional benefits. They aren’t just high on healthy fats but at the same time a very good source of fiber. 1 Avocado a day fulfils 36% of the required Vitamin K in a day and 20% each of vitamin B5 required in a day to cut carbohydrates, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium. Surprisingly two times the potassium from a Banana.
Avocado, as said above is among the very few fruits available that contain healthy fats. Which in simple words mean a healthy heart with balanced cholesterol levels therefore reduces the risk of heart attack. Although, a healthy diet comprising of fruits and vegetables are associated with a lower risk of life style related issues however, Avocados also reduces the risk of obesity and excess sugar levels.
Healthy vision s another benefit of Avocados since they contain lutein zeaxanthin which are concentrated in the eye tissues. Therefore, avocados provide antioxidant covering to reduce the damage of tissues as well as protection from UV rays. Also, since the mono-saturated acids support the absorption of fat soluble antioxidants, it reduces the age-related loss of vision as well.
Relieve Symptoms of Arthritis- as per different studies, it has been observed that the remains from avocado and soybean oil can reduce symptoms of arthritis of the bones, called osteoarthritis

Milky Way – Cow/Buffalo milk- whole milk or skim milk Milky Way

Milky Way – Cow/Buffalo milk- whole milk or skim milk
Milky Way

Cow/Buffalo milk- whole milk or skim milk? soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, rice milk
Cow/Buffalo milk, whole milk, Skim milk, Soy milk, Almond milk, coconut or Rice milk- it is difficult and confusing at the same time to decide the right type of milk from an individual to individual. Well, that was really simple having 2 glasses of milk everyday as kids and our moms telling us it will make us stronger and healthier.
Yes, dairy is an important food and great source of protein and calcium but there is a range of non-dairy milk as well that makes the list longer and thereby confusing us further.
Let us better understand cow’s milk and other alternatives available in the market.
Cow’s Milk- Whole milk or Skim milk?
The lactose in cow’s milk gives approximately 8 gms of protein from One glass full of milk and plenty of Calcium & Vitamin D. It is also rich in carbohydrates. Unless you are allergic to lactose and dairy products; cow’s milk is highly recommended. Now comes the question of what kind of cow’s milk- Whole or Skim? This, completely depends of the individual’s health condition and of course taste. If you are diabetic or suffering from any heart disease then, skin is recommended because the fat that occurs in dairy is higher in saturated fat, which can lead to cardiovascular disease.
Whereas, if you enjoy a healthy life and like the taste and feeling of over filling from whole milk then go for it.
Soy Milk
Soy Millk is the closest milk in term of the nutrition value among the other non-dairy alternatives that are available in the market. One glass of soy milk contains a little less gms of protein as compared to cow’s milk. (7 gms against 8 gms in cow milk). Since the soy milk is made up of soy beans, it provides with multiple healthy fats, and is fortified with calcium.
Soy milk if highly recommended if you are vegan (people who don’t consume dairy products) or those who are allergic to lactose.
Almond Milk
Almond milk is a rich source of healthy fats and is a good substitute if you are allergic to lactose and taste of soy. Having said that, almond milk is very low in protein and if you are looking for a similar nutritional value, then almond milk isn’t the right choice.
Coconut Milk
Coconut milk is a liquid that is found inside the mature coconuts, stored within the coconut meat. There is a difference in coconut water and milk. It is actually the coconut water that matures and turn into coconut milk.
Coconut milk comes with a lot of nutritional values which not just build the immune system of the body but also prevents heart diseases and improves blood pressure.
Rice Milk
Rice milk is not among the other alternatives available as firstly this has no protein value. It contains healthy fats and is usually fortified with 30-40% of one’s daily value of calcium. Rice milk is usually recommended to someone who has some serious food allergies and cannot consume dairy, soy or nuts.

5 int'l workouts we should bring home this year

5 int'l workouts we should bring home this year
DNA CORRESPONDENT | Mon, 2 Jan 2017-07:35am , DNA

Bossaball: Spain

If a combination of volleyball, football and capoeira wasn't crazy enough, the the court on which Bossaball is played happens to be made of trampolines. Played between two teams, there are no rules when it comes to touching the ball unlike any other sport (Players can touch the ball with any body part). The game is played to some fabulous music. And the game's referees? They are trained samba dancers. Celebrity fitness expert Neeraj Mehta feels this is one workout that could catch our fancy in India. "Bossaball is an effective full body workout. While it's not easy, it could be a fun way to increase fitness levels."...................................

The next generation will say a complete ‘No’ to Sodas !

The next generation will say a complete ‘No’ to Sodas !
(Referred by International Fitness Therapist Neeraj Mehta)

Sodas have since long dominated the food tables of the Americans and the process of globalization and liberalization, post 90s, aerated drinks became a favorite part of the food habits of the entire world. The indigenous drinks like limewater, mocktailsof the coastal areas, sherbets of the Middle East took a backseat and youth and elders alike became fond of the sweetened black water loaded with compressed gas.
Awareness took Charge !

As the society evolved and the hangover of the junk food dropped down, while gaining insight on the reasons of increasing health issues, people gained awareness about the ill effects of sodas and their linkage with obesity and heart diseases.
In 2012, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg banned all sugar beverages, but the ban was later rejected by the final court, but, the initiative did ignite a debate over soda consumption. Schools and hospitals across the U.S. began banning sugary drinks in cafeterias and vending machines.
Ill-Effects on children and Teens
Teenagers and children being the most vulnerable victims of bad food habits happened to consume a lot cola.
According to the CDC survey, in 2015:
•20 percent of students reported drinking a sugar-sweetened beverage one or more times per day during the previous week, down from 27 percent in 2013 and 34 percent in 2007.
•26 percent of teens said they had not consumed any sugary soda at all in the previous seven days, up from 22 percent in 2013 and about 19 percent in 2007.

Changing Trends
With the increasing activism on improving food habits and health and widespread increase in spreading Vegetarianism and Values of yoga, aerated drinks seem to have taken a back seat.
In today’s time where everyone wants to look good and wants to assert on their longevity, people have really become aware of what they are feeding to their bodies. Everyone-males and females alike wants to have slithering toned body and sugary drinks surely are not an answer to that, we see restaurants offering more and more vegan food and fluids that are detoxifying for the body and everyone seems to like.
Health being a good reason for the consumption of lemonades, green teas and antioxidant rich drinks, another reason that continues to inspire people to give up on Colas, is the variety and diversity of taste that healthy, indigenous drinks offer to our taste buds. Everyone surely enjoys that experience. With the growing need for novelty in our lives, healthy drinks appeal to the masses more than just sweetened black water.

Lipoproteins and heart disease risk

Lipoproteins and heart disease risk

(Referred by International Fitness Therapist Neeraj Mehta)

 The  Monoglycerides and long chain fatty acids liberated from digested food fat must travel in the bloodstream as chylomicrons. These protein and phospholipid clusters act as emulsifiers, attracting both water and fat to enable their large lipid passengers to travel dispersed in the watery body fluids. The tissues of the body can extract whatever fat they need from chylomicrons passing by in the bloodstream. The remnants are then picked up by the liver, which dismantles them and reuses their parts.
Major lipoprotein: VLDL, LDL, HDL  in addition to the chylomicrons, the body uses three other types of lipoprotein to carry fats:

•Very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), Which carry triglycerides and other lipids made in the liver to the body cells for their use.

•Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), transport cholesterol and other lipids to the tissues. LDL are made from VLDL after they have donated many of their triglycerides to body cells.

•High-density lipoprotein (HDL), which are critical in the process of  carrying cholesterol away from body cells to the liver for disposal.

The last two of these lipoproteins, LDL and HDL, play major roles with regard to heart health and are the focus of most recommendations made for reducing the risk of heart disease.
Typical lipoprotein and demonstrates how a lipoprotein’s density changes with its lipid and protein contents.
The LDL and HDL difference  The separate functions of LDL and HDL are worth a moment’s attention because they carry important implications for the health of the heart and blood vessels. Both LDL and HDL carry lipids in the blood, but LDL are larger, lighter, and richer in cholesterol ; HDL are smaller, denser, and packaged with more protein. LDL deliver triglycerides and cholesterol from the liver to the tissues; HDL scavenge excess cholesterol and phospholipids from the tissues for disposal.

Both LDL and HDL carry cholesterol, but elevated LDL concentrations in the blood are sign of high risk of heart attack, whereas elevated HDL concentrations are associated with a low risk. Thus some people refer to LDL as “bad” cholesterol and HDL as “good” cholesterol yet they carry the same kind of cholesterol. The difference to health between LDL and HDL lies in the proportions of lipids they contain and the tasks they perform, not in the type of cholesterol they carry.

A holistic approach to infertility

 A holistic approach to infertility 

(Referred by International Fitness Therapist Neeraj Mehta)


•Women who have a very low percentage of body fat may stop ovulating. Gaining as little as five pounds can restore fertility

•Conversely, obesity can also reduce fertility by interfering with ovulation, though being moderately overweight does not lead to fertility problems.

•Food and drinking water are potential sources of pesticide exposure, which may affect male fertility. Organic food and filtered or bottled water may help reduce the risk.

•Beyond pesticides, other toxic exposures often work related that can affect male fertility include lead and benzene.

•Due to the high temperatures men with infertility should avoid hot baths, saunas steam rooms, and even working with a notebook computer in their lap, which may generate enough heat to interfere with sperm production.

•It’s debatable whether boxer shorts, as opposed to tighter underwear, can really help male fertility, but they can’t hurt and are probably worth a try.

•prescription drugs, including blood pressure medication, can affect male fertility. If this is a possibility, discuss with your doctor whether a change in medication or a switch to nondrug measures could be employed.

•As few as five alcoholic drinks per week has been shown to reduce a woman’s ability to get pregnant and can interfere with men’s fertility as well.

•Caffeine can also be deleterious to women’s fertility. Try to have no more than two cups of coffee daily, or the equivalent in caffeine from other sources such as tea or soft drinks.

•Tobacco can impair fertility in both men and women. Even secondhand smoke should be avoided as much as possible.

•Women who hope to become pregnant should avoid douching.

•Depression is potentially more harmful to fertility than stress alone. Anyone who is suffering from persistent feelings of sadness, lack of worth, or who has lost pleasure in formerly enjoyable activities should seek professional help.

•Some herbs such as Echinacea, and ginkgo biloba may adversely affect both male and female fertility.

•Acupuncture and combinations of traditional Chinese herbs have been shown to effectively treat some types of infertility in both men and women.

Overview of menopause

Overview of menopause

(Referred by International Fitness Therapist Neeraj Mehta)

Menopause refers to the time after the ovaries have stopped releasing eggs, levels of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone drop, menstrual periods cease, and it is no longer possible to conceive a Child. Menopause can come on naturally or it can be the result of chemotherapy for cancer or the surgical removal of the ovaries. Natural menopause typically occurs in a woman’s late forties or early fifties or early fifties, but there is a wide age range. Perimenopause is the transitional phase when periods are often irregular. During both perimenopause and menopause it’s common to experience mood swings and such symptoms as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and memory problems. Symptoms vary enormously from woman to woman. Many pass through this stage with few symptoms and minimal disruption to their lives, while others are nearly incapacitated.

For year, doctors prescribed HRT for the treatment of menopause and perimenopause symptoms as well as the prevention of heart disease and osteoporosis. The thinking on HRT has changed radically as recent scientific studies suggest that, if anything, the risk of heart disease as well as of strokes, blood clots, and breast cancer is higher in woman who take HRT

women of menopausal age are typically at the stage of life when they are facing a lot of stress from juggling the responsibilities of work kids and aging parents.

Stress plays a significant role in the severity of menopausal symptoms reducing stress is thought to be helpful in dealing with hot flashes and mood swings.

Pranayama, restorative poses and meditation are particularly useful for minimizing the effects of stress.

Mental tension raises levels of the stress hormones cortisol, which contributes to the loss of calcium from bones and interferes with new bone growth.

Weight bearing postures that help build bone strength and unlike many other forms of exercise a number of asnas such as downward facing dog and handstand involve weight bearing in the hands and arms building those bones as well.

Sunday is usually a rest day when and that’s when I go shopping for my daily gym ware and accessories. I usually go to this popular retailer Decathlon in Sohna Road, Gurgaon where they hosted this great workshop “Warm Up Gurgaon”. All sports lovers including some cyclists staying in Gurgaon attended this workshop and I was surprised to see their participation. The workshop was totally inspiring and the idea was to educate their regular customers as to how they can self-train themselves for the unexplored sports Hiking and health boosting day to day running in their monotonous schedules.
The best part of the workshop was that the hosts of the events were also people who live normal lives like all of us and have regular jobs, family who have taken the sports as their passion.


The first session was hosted by Mr. Chetan Sehgal who’s a real estate professional and a hiker. He described how he took the sport as his passion and how it gives him inner peace and personal time with himself. After his motivating introduction he talked about the necessity of spending time with oneself. To Chetan, hiking helps him maintain a balance in life and break the monotony of daily hassle. Hiking to even me, was a difficult sport with my limited knowledge however, with the help of internet and a one stop shop like Decathlon which has “All for sports and Sports for all” even their tagline says the same; anyone can pursue this sport without any hassle. Chetan, demonstrated how to get ready for a hike and what all one needs to carry and ensure a safe hiking.


This was followed by a great session on Running by Captain Dharamveer who’s a corporate professional and running enthusiast. Captain talked about how he transformed from being a chain smoker to a runner who has participated in numerous marathons. He talked about the health benefits of running of course and how it can help one re gain self-confidence. Captain Dharamveer told us how he chooseshis apparel and shoes for a perfect run. He also talked about the importance and benefits of hydrating the body.

SOY: The Alternate Protein

SOY: The Alternate Protein 

(Referred by International Fitness Therapist Neeraj Mehta)

Before we even consider soy’s health promoting abilities, let’s take a brief look at its other, often overlooked plus: it is an excellent protein alternative. For example a half cup of tofu provides 18 to 20 grams of protein which is 40 percent of the daily requirement for most people. That same amount of tofu also provides 258 milligrams of calcium (more than a quarter of our daily needs) and 13 milligrams of iron (87 percent of a woman’s daily need and 130 percent of a man’s).
Here’s a comparison of the percentage of protein by weight of a few food: soy flour is 51 percent protein; whole, dry soybeans are 35 percent protein; fish is only 22 percent protein; hamburger is only 13 percent protein; and whole milk is just 3 percent protein.
Substituting 15 grams of soy protein for 15 grams of animal protein would cause the current  dietary ratio of animal to plant protein to fall from two to one to a more desirable one to one the ratio it was in the early 1900s. at this level of intake soy protein would still represent less than 20 percent of the average protein intake of  adults.
In addition to the high quality protein you get when you substitute soy for animal protein you get a bonus of vitamins, minerals and a good dose of phytonutrients. Soy has a healthy mix of fats and no cholesterol.
In one study the substitution of soy for animal products reduced coronary artery disease risk in the study subjects because of their subsequent reductions in blood lipids (such as LDL), homocysteine and blood pressure. For those of us eating a typical American diet what this means is that soy is so good because much of what we eat is so bad for us many of us! Many of our protein sources come with additional less than desirable components particularly saturated fat as well as hormones pesticides antibiotics and other negative.
Tofu is even low in calories compared with other plant based protein sources. In fact tofu has the lowest known ratio of calories to protein in any plant food except mung bean soy bean sprouts.
Soy offers the highest quality protein of any plant food. Available in organic forms (and therefore free of any pesticides or other additives) it offers all nine essential amino acids and is a good source of plant derived omega 3 fatty acids. So even if you  only relied on soy as a meat substitute a couple of times a week you’d be ahead of the game.
