Nowadays healthy lifestyle has become the utmost priority of each and every person. The biggest reason of being healthy or the awareness of getting healthier is increasing day by day due to lack of better nutrition, sedentary lifestyle , going through constant stress, irregular sleep patterns, etc which is leading to early cardiac arrest and heart issues in young adults. This is one of the biggest alarming sign of today’s youth health.
In today’s world with the help of social media platforms people are quite aware of good nutrition vs poor nutrition but they aren’t aware of how to implement it in their daily life. Not just better nutrition but maintaining a good lifestyle which includes daily physical activity, maintaining proper meal timings, better hydration, and sleep cycle with balanced nutrition can lead to healthy lifestyle says Ahmedabad’s best Nutritionist Prachi Shah.
Her ideology for food and nutrition science is to eat everything in portion and in a balanced way. She will always choose Ghar Ka Khana (home-cooked meals) over outside healthy meals. Hence she always says Eat Better, Not Less. Nothing is as healthier as home cooked meal because the vegetables that are bought are washed thoroughly and are freshly cut cooked in better quality and less oil which can give the best nutrient absorption than any other outside food.
Here are some benefits of choosing Prachi Shah as your nutritionist can be lead to a healthier lifestyle.
Every diet is different and it depends on person to person depending on their health goals concerns and current lifestyle. A personalised diet not only includes weight gain or weight loss concern but it also focuses on building more muscle mass, losing fat percentage, improving metabolism, increased energy with better immunity. Prachi believes that a tailor-made diet should be given to her clients by keeping their food preferences in mind with their desired goals will help them to follow it better and won’t be a hassle either.
Chronic conditions like diabetes, heart diseases, high blood pressure, gastrointestinal disorders, obesity etc are well treated with proper balanced nutrition and better lifestyle modifications. Prachi makes sure that every minute detail of client is considered regarding their lifestyle and food preferences which can help her to council well with the client. Her guidance and right choice of balanced food can assist with food intolerance, allergies or special dietary needs as well.
Not just chronic or systemic disease but she provides the best guidance during key life stages that is pre pregnancy, pregnancy and post-partum-breast feeding. Including proper amount of protein for foetus’s growth and nutrition and with right amount of calories including proper weight management is also taken care.
Prachi’s ideology of food and nutrition science is to believe in sustainability. She strongly believes that sustainability is the only key for lifestyle modifications and weight management. Focusing on balanced nutrition with calorie deficit, adding physical activity to the day, fixing proper meal timings and sleep cycle which can help in maintaining better circadian rhythm all these approaches are equally important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle for a sustainable weight loss.
The more sustainability maintained the more focus one will be for their own self. Prachi says its okay to have a cheat meal once a week and give in to your cravings but more importantly it is to maintain sustainability towards yourself which will help to balance the entire week.
Regular weekly or fortnightly follow ups are the best way to keep accountability towards your clients. Not just that but Prachi makes sure that day to day track by asking their entire day food diary including the meals they had throughout the day, hours of sleep, daily water intake, hours of workout etc. By checking their food diary and correcting them right away so the next meal or the next day goes as per to be followed. Along with that she provides 24hrs WhatsApp support through which any clients queries or concerned is solved right away. This keeps client motivated and more focus towards achieving their desired goals and they don’t lose their track on occasions like festivals or weddings.
When we talk about relationship with food it should be a healthy relationship including balanced and mindful eating. There are ample amount of benefits which can build up healthy habits towards food and lifestyle modifications. One of the major benefits are reducing stress, improves health and immunity , better body image and gives long term sustainability. Once the body starts reducing stress it will be less inflamed and will reduce oxidative stress from the body which will help to balance over hormones and boost up metabolism. That is where immunity builds up better with improved energy levels. Once metabolism boosts up with good workout and balanced nutrition weight loss happens where fat percentage lowers down and muscle mass increases and that is how own feels more confident in their own skin. By practising all such habits one must start building good habits for longer time which is more sustainable and that is where the body starts adapting these new changes and gives long lasting results.
Hence Prachi’s ideology of food and nutrition science is to focus on long term goals by building healthier habits which are more sustainable for person to person. More than 1000’s of clients have built a healthier and sustainable lifestyles where they do socialise eat outside but make sure nutrition is not compromised.
Her theory for weight management is to focus more on the body composition rather than just focusing on the weight as weight is just a number. Rather she says one must focusing on getting ideal fat percentage and building more muscle mass which eventually helps maintain hormones and metabolism. After a certain age everyone tends to lose more muscle mass hence by practising better food habits and lifestyle modification increased muscle mass will help to maintain better health even in old age and that’s what her ultimate goal is.
