<p><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#a03622" class="has-inline-color"><strong>Ms. Anuritha</strong></mark></p>



<p>Amid the countless weight loss diets, supplements, gadgets, and meal replacement bars promising quick results, many lack scientific backing. However, several evidence-based strategies can foster natural, healthy weight management. These include a balanced diet, calorie control, mindful management of macronutrients and micronutrients, consistent physical activity, and psychological resilience. In this article, we explore five proven approaches to effective weight loss.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Prioritize Protein in Every Major Meal</strong></h3>



<p>Incorporating high-quality protein into all three main meals is essential for supporting satiety and weight loss. Whether sourced from plant-based or animal-based foods, protein helps curb hunger by reducing levels of hunger-promoting hormones and boosting those that induce feelings of fullness. This natural appetite regulation leads to reduced calorie intake without effort. Protein-rich foods such as eggs, lean meats, fish, legumes, tofu, paneer, quinoa, nuts, and seeds are excellent choices for those aiming to lose weight.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Eliminate Sugar and Refined Carbohydrates</strong></h3>



<p>Refined carbohydrates—such as white rice, pasta, bread, pastries, and noodles—are highly processed and devoid of fiber and essential nutrients. These foods are rapidly digested and converted into glucose, triggering insulin production, which promotes fat storage in the body. High glycemic foods, including those made with refined sugars, contribute to weight gain by increasing blood sugar levels and encouraging fat accumulation.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. Increase Fiber Intake</strong></h3>



<p>Fiber is a critical component of a weight-loss strategy, as it passes through the digestive system without being absorbed, providing prolonged feelings of fullness. Fiber is categorized into soluble and insoluble types, with soluble fiber having a significant impact on metabolism and health. Insoluble fiber, found in whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, helps with digestion by adding bulk to stools. Plant-based fibers, in particular, are key allies in weight management, offering numerous health benefits and aiding in appetite control.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" width="958" height="1024" src="https://innohealthmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Ensure-Adequate-Sleep-Quality-958x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20570" style="width:407px;height:auto" srcset="https://innohealthmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Ensure-Adequate-Sleep-Quality-958x1024.jpg 958w, https://innohealthmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Ensure-Adequate-Sleep-Quality-281x300.jpg 281w, https://innohealthmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Ensure-Adequate-Sleep-Quality-768x821.jpg 768w, https://innohealthmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Ensure-Adequate-Sleep-Quality.jpg 1197w" sizes="(max-width: 958px) 100vw, 958px" /></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. Ensure Adequate Sleep Quality</strong></h3>



<p>Sleep and stress are two often-overlooked factors that contribute to weight gain. Both disrupt hormone regulation, including insulin and cortisol, which promote fat storage. A minimum of 6 hours of uninterrupted, restorative sleep is essential for weight management. Studies indicate that poor sleep quality slows metabolism, hindering the body&#8217;s ability to convert calories into energy, leading to fat storage. Additionally, insufficient sleep affects the balance of ghrelin and leptin, hormones that regulate appetite and hunger.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5. Enhance Gut Microflora</strong></h3>



<p>The health of your gut microbiome plays a pivotal role in weight management. With trillions of bacteria residing in the gut, the balance between beneficial and harmful microorganisms influences digestion, fat metabolism, and appetite. Consuming fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, tempeh, and sauerkraut can support the growth of healthy bacteria. Prebiotics, found in fiber-rich foods, also promote gut health by fostering the activity of beneficial microbes, which may contribute to weight loss.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s important to remember that sustainable weight loss takes time and effort, with no shortcuts to success. The key to long-term health and weight management lies in adopting a balanced, nutrient-dense diet combined with regular physical activity. A simple yet effective principle—eating well and staying active for at least 30 minutes daily—forms the foundation for natural, healthy weight loss.</p>

<p><strong>Addressing Protein Deficiency: Ensuring Adequate Protein Intake</strong></p>



<p>Protein is an essential macronutrient for proper body functioning and is necessary for building and repairing muscle, producing hormones, and producing enzymes. A common concern in vegetarian diets is the lack of adequate protein intake. Including a variety of protein-rich plant-based foods such as lentils, chickpeas, beans, soy products, and dairy can help vegetarians meet their daily protein requirements. Consuming a mix of complementary protein sources can ensure the intake of all essential amino acids. Additionally, incorporating protein-rich foods such as tempeh, tofu, and seitan can help to meet protein needs.</p>



<p><strong>Calcium: Finding Alternative Sources Beyond Dairy</strong></p>



<p>Calcium is a crucial nutrient for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth, and it is often associated with dairy products. However, for those following a vegetarian Indian diet, finding alternative sources of calcium beyond dairy is essential. Fortunately, there are several plant-based sources of calcium that can be easily incorporated into a vegetarian Indian diet.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Leafy green vegetables, such as spinach, kale, and collard greens, are excellent sources of calcium, as are other vegetables such as broccoli, okra, and bok choy. Additionally, some nuts and seeds, such as almonds and sesame seeds, are rich in calcium. Tofu, a popular vegetarian protein source, can also be an excellent source of calcium, particularly if it has been fortified. By incorporating these alternative sources of calcium into a vegetarian Indian diet, individuals can ensure they are meeting their calcium needs and supporting optimal bone health.</p>



<p><strong>Addressing Iron and Zinc Deficiencies in a Vegetarian Indian Diet</strong></p>



<p>Iron deficiencies are common in vegetarian diets due to the lower bioavailability of non-heme iron found in plant sources. To increase iron intake, consume iron-rich plant foods like spinach, legumes, nuts, seeds, and fortified cereals. Pairing these foods with vitamin C-rich foods, such as tomatoes, citrus fruits, or bell peppers, can enhance iron absorption.</p>



<p>Zinc can be found in whole grains, legumes, and nuts, while calcium is abundant in dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and fortified plant-based milk alternatives.</p>



<p><strong>Balancing Essential Fatty Acids and Omega-6 Considerations</strong></p>



<p>Essential fatty acids are important for maintaining good health, as they provide the building blocks for many important hormones and help to reduce inflammation. A vegetarian Indian diet may be low in omega-3 fatty acids while high in omega-6 fatty acids. To balance the intake of these essential fats, incorporate omega-3 rich foods like flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and algae-based supplements. Simultaneously, reduce the consumption of vegetable oils high in omega-6 fatty acids.</p>



<p><strong>Fibre: Maximising Intake for Digestive Health and Disease Prevention</strong></p>



<p>A vegetarian Indian diet is typically low in whole grains and fibre, as these are found primarily in processed grains and refined carbohydrates. To ensure adequate intake of whole grains and fibre, we should focus on eating foods such as oats, barley, brown rice, quinoa, whole wheat bread, and legumes. Additionally, incorporating foods such as fruits and vegetables can help to meet fibre needs.</p>



<p>A fibre-rich diet promotes digestive health and helps prevent chronic diseases. Incorporate whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds into your meals to maximise fibre intake and support overall health. Whole grains like brown rice, whole wheat, and millets are packed with fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Including these in your diet can improve digestion, regulate blood sugar levels, and lower cholesterol.</p>



<p><strong>Identifying Deficiencies and Solutions for Vitamin B12, D, and K</strong></p>



<p>Vitamins are essential micronutrients that are necessary for proper body functioning. A vegetarian Indian diet can be low in certain vitamins, such as Vitamin B12, D and K.</p>



<p>&nbsp;Vitamin B12 is predominantly found in animal products, making it difficult for vegetarians to meet their daily requirements. Fortified foods, such as plant-based milk and breakfast cereals, or B12 supplements can help. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption, and exposure to sunlight, fortified foods, or supplements can be beneficial. Riboflavin is present in dairy products, fortified cereals, and certain vegetables like spinach and mushrooms.</p>



<h2 class="has-text-color wp-block-heading" style="color:#0b8558;font-size:25px"><strong>Overcoming Barriers: Tips for Implementing Sustainable Changes in Your Vegetarian Indian Diet</strong></h2>



<p>Make sustainable changes to your diet by setting realistic goals, gradually incorporating new foods and habits, planning meals ahead, and seeking support from friends, family, or a nutrition professional.</p>



<p><strong>Educate Yourself: </strong>Gain a thorough understanding of the nutritional requirements of a balanced vegetarian diet. Familiarise yourself with nutrient-rich food sources and the potential deficiencies in a typical vegetarian Indian diet to make informed food choices.</p>



<p><strong>Be Mindful of Eating Habits:</strong> Cultivate mindfulness around your eating habits, paying attention to hunger cues and portion sizes. This can help prevent overeating and encourage healthier food choices.</p>

<p><strong>Keep Track of Your Nutrient Intake:</strong> Monitor your food consumption to ensure you are meeting your nutritional needs. Use food diaries, smartphone apps, or consult with a nutrition expert to help you stay on track.</p>



<p><strong>Set Realistic Goals:</strong> Establish achievable and sustainable dietary goals that focus on gradual changes, rather than attempting a complete overhaul of your diet overnight. Break down your goals into smaller steps to make the transition more manageable.</p>



<p><strong>Embrace Flexibility:</strong> Understand that dietary changes are a continuous process, and setbacks may occur. Be open to adjusting your approach and remember that consistency is key to achieving sustainable changes.</p>



<p><strong>Make Small, Incremental Changes:</strong> Implement dietary changes gradually to avoid overwhelming yourself. Start by incorporating new nutrient-rich foods or adjusting portion sizes, and progress from there.</p>



<p><strong>Prepare Meals at Home:</strong> Cooking at home allows you to have better control over the ingredients used, portion sizes, and the nutritional balance of your meals. Experiment with new recipes and ingredients to diversify your diet and maintain interest in healthy eating.</p>



<p><strong>Focus on Flavour and Enjoyment:</strong> Ensure that your meals are not only nutritionally balanced but also flavourful and enjoyable. Experiment with herbs, spices, and different cooking techniques to make healthy eating a pleasurable experience.</p>



<h2 class="has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-background wp-block-heading" style="font-size:22px"><strong>Maximising Nutrient Absorption through Food Pairings and Preparation Methods</strong></h2>



<div style="height:21px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Some nutrients are better absorbed when consumed together, such as iron and vitamin C or calcium and vitamin D. Combining foods strategically can optimise nutrient absorption and improve overall health.</p>



<p>Nutrient absorption is an important part of a healthy diet, as it ensures that the body is able to absorb and utilise the essential nutrients from the foods consumed. A vegetarian Indian diet can be low in certain nutrients, due to the lack of animal-based foods. To ensure optimal nutrient absorption, vegetarians should focus on combining different types of foods such as grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and vegetables. Additionally, incorporating foods such as nuts and seeds with fruits and vegetables can help to increase nutrient absorption.</p>



<p>Enhance nutrient absorption by pairing foods that work synergistically, like combining iron-rich foods with vitamin C sources (e.g., spinach with lemon juice) or calcium-rich foods with vitamin D sources (e.g., fortified milk with sun exposure). Additionally, use preparation methods such as soaking, sprouting, or fermenting to improve the bioavailability of nutrients in plant-based foods.</p>



<p><strong>Avoiding Excess: Managing Sugar and Salt Intake in Vegetarian Indian Diets</strong></p>



<p>Vegetarian Indian diets can be high in sugar and salt, which can contribute to health issues. Limit added sugars by consuming whole fruits and using natural sweeteners, and reduce salt intake by using herbs, spices, and low-sodium alternatives to flavour meals.</p>

</div>



<p><strong>Balancing the Plate: Creating Nutrient-Dense, Well-Balanced Vegetarian Indian Meals</strong></p>



<p>To create well-balanced meals, divide your plate into sections: half for fruits and vegetables, a quarter for whole grains, and a quarter for protein-rich foods. This ensures a diverse range of nutrients and promotes overall health.</p>



<p><strong>Supplementing Wisely: When and How to Use Dietary Supplements</strong></p>



<p>Dietary supplements can be beneficial for those following a vegetarian Indian diet, as they can help to ensure adequate intake of certain nutrients. To ensure adequate intake of essential nutrients, vegetarians should focus on using dietary supplements wisely. This includes consulting with a nutrition expert to determine which supplements are necessary and taking supplements only as directed. Additionally, it is important to remember that dietary supplements should not replace a healthy and balanced diet. Consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation to ensure the correct dosage and avoid potential adverse effects.</p>



<p><strong>Consult a Nutrition Professional:</strong> Work with a registered dietitian or nutrition expert to create a personalised meal plan and receive guidance on overcoming barriers specific to your needs and lifestyle. Their expertise can help you navigate the challenges of implementing sustainable changes in your vegetarian Indian diet.</p>



<p class="has-background" style="background-color:#fffcab"><strong>In conclusio</strong>n, overcoming nutritional deficiencies in a typical Indian vegetarian diet is achievable by implementing a well-rounded approach. By ensuring adequate protein intake, balancing essential fatty acids, addressing micronutrient deficiencies, incorporating whole grains and fibre, and diversifying food choices, individuals can create a healthier and more balanced diet. By embracing variety and incorporating nutrient-dense foods, individuals can continue to enjoy the flavours and traditions of Indian cuisine while reaping the many health benefits of a well-planned vegetarian diet.</p>



<p class="has-background" style="background-color:#fffcab">Furthermore, consulting a nutrition expert can provide personalised guidance and help create a well-rounded meal plan that supports optimal health and well-being, ensuring that the Indian vegetarian diet remains both nourishing and deeply rooted in tradition.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>What does it even mean to be healthy? Google that, and you&#8217;ll be consumed with conflicting information talking about everything from diet to sex life. The more you read, the more you wonder what it actually means to be healthy. Should you spend your time in the gym? Should you be completing 10,000 steps per day? Should you be calorie counting? The lists of should&#8217;s are endless, so let&#8217;s delve into the modern, holistic, and easiest-to-follow definitions of what it means to be healthy.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="font-size:27px"><strong>Holistic Health</strong></h2>



<p>Holistic health incorporates the mind, body, and soul &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t focus on running 10ks or hitting the gym. Thinking holistically, people should explore the treatments, lifestyles, and activities that nurture the body and mind. Are you struggling with pain? Steer away from pharmaceuticals and explore holistic treatments like <a href="https://myevolvechiropractor.com/locations/chiropractor-in-downers-grove-il/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">chiropractor Downers Grove IL</a>. Do you struggle to have the energy to complete a &#8216;traditional workout&#8217;? Find a YouTube tutorial of an easy 10-minute yoga flow. Do you struggle to eat clean consistently? Nurture your body with a balanced diet that includes treat days of your favorite foods.</p>



<p>Health is very much tailored to the individual, with one concept not reigning supreme above them all. Even focusing on simple ideas like focusing on good sleep hygiene can improve your body, mind, and social lifestyle. Getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep per day &#8211; the recommended amount of hours for an adult &#8211; can improve your mood, digestion, cognitive ability, heart health, and much more.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="font-size:27px"><strong>The Modern Definition</strong></h2>



<p><a href="https://www.who.int/about/governance/constitution" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">According to WHO</a>, the modern definition of being healthy is &#8211; &#8216;<em>a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity&#8217;.</em><strong> </strong>Note how the definition doesn&#8217;t focus on physical health but incorporates everything that makes us feel good about ourselves. There&#8217;s less of a focus on what our bodies look like and more on how we feel and function internally, with a close relationship between the body and the mind. </p>



<p>There&#8217;s less emphasis on strict physical exercise and how much you&#8217;re working out to achieve a toned figure and more on nurturing your body with the nutrition and movement it needs to function.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="font-size:27px"><strong>Find Your Own Balance</strong></h2>



<p>It&#8217;s essential to find what works for you. Step away from the idea that you should wake up at 7 am, work out, eat a healthy breakfast, and do your 10,000 steps each day. Focus more on what makes you feel good while sticking to the obvious facts. Don&#8217;t fill your diet with processed and fatty foods, don&#8217;t sit all day, every day, without moving your body, and don&#8217;t neglect healthy living basics like drinking enough water &#8211; use squash if you dislike water &#8211; to fuel your body and mind. Those are some of the fundamentals that will never change about <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/best-healthy-living-blogs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">health and well-being</a>. </p>



<p>The modern definition of health is constantly changing. The definition that really matters is your own. What makes you feel good, and what nurtures your body and mind? Find your own healthy routines, and don&#8217;t focus on outdated healthy living norms. </p>

	<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Well, many of them must be wondering how that can be possible. But if we look over the past 2-3 decades, the mortality rate has increased to its next level, obesity being one of the rising causes. In 1990, the World Health Organization considered obesity as a global epidemic. And guess who made it go globally that vast? We humans did. Irregular eating habits, irregular sleep patterns, stressful life and not maintaining overall health is leading to an unsatisfactory life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Talking about obesity, what is more important for the body? Nutritionist are vital to human development and maintaining health. 7 essential nutrients a body needs are water, carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, fats, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify !important;">What exactly is obesity and why is it an important topic that everyone should be aware of? In simple terms, it means abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health. And it is an important concept in our day-to-day lives because of health consequences. Thus, in today’s generation an individual’s life is more interconnected to one’s personality, lifestyle, socioeconomic status, and social interactions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Recently heard of benign obesity? It is a term sometimes used to describe a condition in which an individual is overweight or obese but does not suffer from any co-morbidities, such as diabetes, hypertension etc. Our daily lifestyle choices have a direct connection to whether or not a person is prone to facing obesity.</p>

	<p style="text-align: justify !important;"><strong>Asking about if obesity is hereditary? </strong>Then, genes aren’t the most worrisome risk of obesity. An individual’s upbringing can be, the way the family raises, the daily food intake, importance placed on physical activity and how a person would take their behaviour model, are the bigger influences on likelihood of obesity than genes. Health is not valued till sickness comes, true isn’t? Obesity is not because it runs in the family!! It is because no one runs in the family!!!</p>

	<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Today, more than 95% of all chronic diseases is caused by food choice. Yes,being overweight is linked to a number of health and oral health diseases, including: heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, gallbladder and gallstones, breathing problems, such as sleep apnea (when a person stops breathing for a short time during sleep) and asthma, oral health problems such as caries, halitosis, poor oral hygiene, periodontal disease. Symptoms for obesity include breathlessness, Increased sweating, snoring, inability to cope with sudden physical activity, feeling tired, back and joint pain, low confidence and self-esteem, and feeling isolated.</p>
<p><em><strong>Also Read: <a href="https://innohealthmagazine.compersona/no-to-single-plastic-bags/">Exclusive interview with Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan</a></strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">After being aware of the risks, proper health and oral hygiene should be maintained. And why is maintaining diet an important factor? Because a poor diet may result in lack of essential nutrients and vitamins thus potentially making it more difficult for your body to fight off an infection. A diet high in fat and calories, including large quantities of processed foods or sugar, and lack of physicalactivity, leads to obesity. Those same foods can cause oral health problems including gum disease, premature tooth loss and bad breath Our body craves for what is in our bloodstream. Wheat, sugar, alcohol, coffee and de-vitalized foods are designed to be addictive. Sugar being addictive &#8211; agreed. But how does sugar affect an individual’s health and oral health? Well, consuming sugar is bad for an individual, but consuming too much has become a norm and that can cause health issues. The only type of sugar the body needs is glucose, which it can make by breaking down carbohydrates, proteins and fats. When ingested, simple sugars are converted into plaque if not removed immediately. As plaque begins to accumulate on our teeth and gums, the risk of varying forms of gum diseases such a gingivitis and periodontitis, as well as tooth decay, may become inevitable.</p>

	<p style="text-align: justify !important;">In 2018, a study revealed that 170 children and young people have rotten teeth removed every day, undergoing general anaesthesia. That’s an unpleasant operation that is completely avoidable; we have got a lot of evidence to show that the main cause is excessive sugar. There are also links with type 2 diabetes, usually chronic disease seen in adults, but we are seeing more and more under the age of 25 these days.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify !important;">So, what an oral health care professional should be aware of? Dentists must be aware of how nutrition impacts general and oral health, and how dental treatment can impact patient’s nutritional status. Oral health is strongly influenced by the daily intake of food; on the other hand, oral health can also play a significant role in nutritional intake and general health status. The dental caries is also a chronic disease and may be depend on oral hygiene, high intake of sugar added to food, lifestyle factor, and host factors (salivary flow, buffer capacity and buccal microflora). Relationship between obesity and gum disease &#8211; we actually don’t know if this is a one-way or a two-way street. For example, conditions like diabetes, the relationship is bilateral. Periodontal disease will affect diabetes and diabetes will worsen periodontal disease, so that could be a possibility here. What are the other reasons of obesity affecting gums and what would be its risk factors? Because of various dietary habits and improper maintenance of oral hygiene, chronic periodontal infection is an inflammatory state that is described by a deviation in microbial environment and composition of subgingival plaque bio films and accelerated destruction of tooth supporting structures. Thus, low glycaemic diet may be beneficial to our oral health. Periodontal diseases are also influenced by various risk factors including aging, smoking, oral hygiene, socio-economic status, psycho social stress, osteopenia, osteoporosis and various systemic diseases, which signifies that periodontitis does not merely occur as a consequence of plaque deposition but is also coupled with various other host factors. Also, on examination, obese adolescents exhibited multiple carious teeth, higher plaque index, gingival inflammation, bleeding on probing and probing depth compared to normal weight subjects of similar age.</p>

	<p style="text-align: justify !important;">An obese patient, whose lungs are often not large enough to lift heavy chest walls, can have trouble during breathing, especially when active. Also, during sleep the person might breathe through his/her mouth instead of nose, thus jaw is forced into an unnatural position for a longer period of time. This can lead to teeth grinding and development of an overbite, over jet or spacing between the anterior teeth.How can we, as dentists, help the obese patients? Dentists should include the evaluation of BMI in routine patient examination and eventually refer obese periodontal adolescents for weight reduction interventions like diet therapy, behavioural therapy, pharmacotherapy, so that they can have better control over periodontal inflammation.What are the practical considerations in dentistry? It can be difficult carrying out dental care for an obese patient: the maximum lifting weight for modern dental chair is approximately 140kg (23 stones). The position of anatomical landmarks may be less obvious if surrounded by fatty tissue, the landmarks for placement of an inferior alveolar nerve block can be impossible to palpate through excess soft tissue. It may be impossible to palpate cervical lymph nodes in a large neck. Also due to constant secretion of saliva, the mouth and teeth are rinsed and kept free off food debris and foreign particles, thus excess of buccal pad of fat hinders with self-cleansing action in the mouth. Because of lack of saliva present in the mouth, it can lead to dry mouth. Sip water frequently throughout the day and use alcohol-free antiseptic mouthwash daily for cure. A normal sized mirror is unsafe for retraction of soft tissues: a ‘lax’ tongue retractor can be useful.What is the alternative to conventional dental chair? Refer the patient to the hospital environment where the patient may be treated on an operating table or trolley. Another possible solution for obese patients is a custom-made chair such as DIACO dental chair. What is the difficulty faced during conscious sedation? When thinking about conscious sedation for obese patients, the potential difficulties in airway management and intravenous cannulation should be considered. The provision of inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide during which oxygen levels are maintained at or above 30% may be more appropriate. If intravenous sedation with midazolam is proposed, the overall benefit to the patient must be carefully weighed up against the increased likelihood of significant respiratory depression and the difficulties in managing a respiratory complication. New research suggests that the health of your mouth mirrors the condition of your body as a whole. A healthy smile can surely transform our visual appearance and the positivity of our mind-set.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;"><strong>‘Eat every two hours, sleep eight hours, have plenty of water and pray to keep calm. Most importantly, carry a smile on your face.’</strong></p>

	<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Modern India, in spite of technological and industrial progress, is still fighting its battle against “food”, both quantitatively and qualitatively. India is one of the top five countries with respect to adult obesity, childhood obesity,and <a href="https://innohealthmagazine.comtheme/living-with-diabetes/">type-2 diabetes</a>. It is predicted that by 2025, India will rank second in <a href="https://innohealthmagazine.comresearch/non-obese-lean-indians-also-prone-type-2-diabetes/">obesity</a>, with the count of obese children over17 million. The irony of the situation is that India ranks first in under nourishment, constituting 40% of the world’s underweight population. Such extremes of poor <a href="https://innohealthmagazine.comnewscope/healthy-lives-everyone-everywhere/">health</a> conditions are prevalent because of unhealthy food options in one stratum of society, and scarcity of <a href="https://innohealthmagazine.comtrends/iron-zinc-deficiencies/">food</a> in another.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Currently wheat and rice constitute the most consumed cereals in India. Wheat cultivation dates back to Indus valley civilization, approximately 5000 years ago. In habitants of the Mohenjo-Daro period used wheat to make bread and porridge.The obsession with wheat was further instigated by the Green Revolution in the 1960s when new higher yielding varieties were introduced to cater to a rapidly growing population.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Further more,there have been reports about the origin of rice in India about 35 million years back. In India, rice is mostly consumed in the Southern region and the Northeast,where as Northern-central part is the bread basket of the country. Both these staple cereals are consumed as refined flour and polished rice;and because of their smooth appearance and taste fullness, our traditional grains like Bajra (pearl millet), Jowar(sorghum), Ragi (fingermillet) and Rajgira (amaranth)have taken a back seat. In fact, Dr.M. S. Swaminathan, Father of Green Revolution, himself called millets “orphan crops” as they used to constitute 40% of all the cultivated grains before the Green Revolution, which dropped to about half immediately after 1965.</p>

	<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Although all grains, cereals as well as millets, mostly comprise of starch (~60-65%), however the concentrations of protein,dietary fiber and minerals greatly vary among them. Wheat grains are composed of 70% starch, while rice is 90%. Protein ranges from 13—15% in wheat but is essentially lowest in rice among all available cereals. The fiber content, as well as the minerals composition of both the privileged grains, is also poor. Considering the modern-days edentary lifestyle, the amount of refined carbohydrates we consume without much physical activity is taking a toll on our health, as is evident by rising malnutrition numbers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Moreover, the sudden release of glucose into the blood stream causes“energy crash” soon after a starchy meal. Thus, we need grains with higher dietary fiber and resistant starch. These slowly digestible nutritional elements provide satiety feeling for a longer period of time,and help prevent constipation by accelerating food movement through the gastrointestinal tract.They also bind to toxins and remove them from the gut, thereby protecting the colon mucosa from cancers. Dietary fibers also reduce serum LDL-cholesterol levels, by binding to cholesterol generated bile salts thereby hindering their re-absorption in the colon.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Based on all nutritional parameters, millets are far ahead of rice and wheat. Not only are they more resistant to digestion, but also the antioxidants abundantly present in millets scavenge free radicals that cause inflammation in the body. Bajra/Pearl millet is the oldest millet used by our ancestors. It is still a part of regular meals in desert belt of the country like Rajasthan and Gujarat. It is extremely rich in iron (0.8%), zinc (0.3%),calcium (0.4%), phosphorus (0.4%), and most importantly dietary fibers. Jowar/Sorghum is rich in antioxidants, abundant in phyto chemicals such as tannins, phenolic acids, anthocyanins, polysterols, and polic osanols. They are also a good source of vitamin B complex and folate. Ragi/ Fingermillet is mostly consumed in Karnataka, followed by Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, and Goa. Ragihas the highest amount of calcium (344mg/100g)and potassium (408mg/100g), and fairly low content of fat(1.3%).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Moreover, it contains antioxidants such as phytates (0.48%), polyphenols, tannins (0.61%), trypsin inhibitory factors; and are a substantial source of dietary fibers (15—20%). They are also rich in amino acids like tryptophan, threonine, valine, isoleucine and methionine. Rajgira/Amaranth is considered a pseudo-cereal because of its starchy seeds. Its 13—15% protein aceous grain comprises of almost all the essential amino acids required by the human body,especially high content of lysine, which is basically absent in wheat and rice. It is an excellent source offolates, niacin, thiamin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-complex, vitamin E as well as essential fatty acids. All of these alternate grains are arich source of soluble and insoluble dietary fibers, providing7—17% of daily requirement of fibers. Moreover, these grains are gluten-free, which are a great food substitute for people with celiac disease.</p>

	<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Consumption of millets lowers the Glycemic Index*, thus combating type-2 diabetes and obesity. Glycemic indices of wheat and rice are 65 and 70, respectively; whereas it is 54for bajra and 62 for jowar. Although these values are higher for ragi (84) and rajgira (107); but the great amounts of micro nutrients present in them compensate for their health implications. High iron content in these alternate grains may help increase hemoglobin; considerable phosphorus concentration is good for bone growth and development;magnesium controls blood pressure as well as helps reduce respiratory problems; also strong antioxidants present improve heart health. Millets possess hypo allergic properties as well; they are alkaline in nature, thus preventing the formation of acidity and ulcers in the stomach.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">India is believed to be the world’s capital of diabetes. It is estimated that the diabetic population in the country will increase with an alarming rate of 26.6%, which will account for 69.9 million affected individuals by 2025 and 80 million by 2030! In fact, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the urban areas is 28%, whereas in the rural population it is 5%. New scientific approaches of developing genetic markers for estimation of the incidence of obesity and diabetes are being developed worldwide, with ironically a simple solution residing in our backyards, Millets! India has 5,97,464 villages and 2,50,000 Gram Panchayats.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">We need to take initiatives to promote millet farming and consumption starting at the very basic level of villages. Since millets have evolved surviving drought, floods, harsh hot and cold climates, they have adapted with time and are easy to grow under varying environmental conditions. Because of such varied exposures, millets have become resistant to pests and diseases. For this reason, they are easy to grow, without pesticides and insecticides and with little caution; making the end-product“organic”. More so, adding to the food problem is another crisis, “global climate change”, which will cause severe water scarcity in our near future. The additional advantage of millets is their less irrigation demand in agriculture. To sum up,more production of these grains would mean limited water requirement; more consumption would mean decrease in health issues thus resulting in lower expense on medical bills and more availability of funds for other purposes, and extensive availability of the alternate grains for end-use would mean cost-effectiveness.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">The reasons why these grains are not market-ready are very evident. Most important being the color and tastefulness. Millets contain polyphenols which cause the grains to become rancid faster than wheat and rice. Also, their nutritional utilization demands more effort in terms of processing/cooking times. Further, to increase the rate of iron absorption in the body as influenced by phytates present in these grains, processes like roasting or other alternate methods are required. In a quick-fix world of people with changed mindsets seeking instant gratification, it becomes challenging for people at large to take out time and make efforts towards their better health.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">The age-old adage, prevention is better than cure, holds true here when we consider the consumption of millets. Considering the overall nutritional status of our country and the environmental issues globally, it is time we approach these matters comprehensively, and expand our food baskets and minds to include more nature-friendly elements.</p>

	<p style="text-align: justify !important;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s times, when exceptional intelligence or gifted child prodigies receive media attention, and100% cut-off marks are projected as achievable targets; 95% marks in board exams are considered average. Children today are not only having to deal with peer pressure, and body image issues; but also, the pressure of scoring very high grades to get through a good college in their chosen fields. With mind-boggling competition, everyone wants their children to be exceptional achievers. It is no surprise that the foremost concern of most parents is pertaining to the academic performance of their children. </span></p>

	<p><b>Nutrition And Cognitive Health</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A child belonging to the lower socioeconomic status, not only has to struggle with a lack of educational opportunities but also a lack of healthy nutrition. This child will most likely go through their formative years having a poor diet which lacks most essential nutrients. This may lead to a lower academic performance throughout the school years, which in turn may lead to fewer job opportunities resulting in lower socioeconomic status. When the same child grows up and starts own family, the cycle continues to the next generation. On the other side of the socio-economic spectrum, a child belonging to an affluent urban family also deals with poor nutrition but in a very different way. More than one-third of such children and adolescents, aged 6yrs to 19yrs, are considered <a href="https://innohealthmagazine.comwell-being/contracting-lifestyle-disease-adulthood/">overweight or obese</a>. This is because these children are overfed but remain undernourished. Studies show that more than 90% of children in urban areas, belonging to affluent families, consume more than the recommended amounts of saturated fats and added sugars. The consumption of fruits and vegetables in these children is also observed to be less than the recommended intake. Thus, even though they may appear to be well nourished, they have many underlying nutritional deficiencies. Some of these deficiencies impact the performance of these children in academics and extracurricular activities.</span></p>

	<p><b>Relationship Between Breakfast And Academic Performance </b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">There have been many studies that have looked at the relationship between breakfast consumption and academic performance in children, and most have concluded that </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">eating breakfast improves cognitive functions like memory recall. A study was done in Norway which looked at 475 high school children, found that those who ate breakfast regularly had fewer difficulties in learning, especially mathematics, besides improved reading and writing. Another study carried out in China on kindergarten students found that kids who ate breakfast had higher IQs (intelligent quotients). This was independent of the education level of the parents, or the family’s <a href="https://innohealthmagazine.comresearch/socioeconomic-inequalities/">socioeconomic</a> status. Many similar studies carried out over the years have reported that skipping breakfast was associated with decreased cognitive performance (e.g., alertness, attention, memory, processing of complex visual display, problem-solving, etc.) among the students. Children who do not eat an adequate breakfast can also suffer from hunger pangs while in school, headaches, and stomach pains due to excessive acid, etc. This, besides being a source of distraction for children, can also lead to absence from classes, which in turn can affect academic performance in school.</span></p>

	<p><b>Relationship Between Specific Foods And Academic Performance</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Interestingly, studies have not just found a positive association with breakfast consumption but also between the quality of meals and academic performance. A study carried out in Scotland investigated the consumption of sugary drinks, sweets, chocolates, pizza, savory snacks and hot dogs with learning abilities. The study found that children who had a higher consumption of these foods had increased mathematical difficulties as compared to children who had a more nutritious dietary intake. Another study found that children who ate <a href="https://innohealthmagazine.comwell-being/consumption-of-fruits-cuts-death-risk/">healthier foods</a> with a low glycemic index had better attention span, word recall and reaction time than children who consumed food with a higher glycemic index that leads to <a href="https://innohealthmagazine.comresearch/new-reading-high-blood-pressure/">high blood glucose levels</a> soon after consumption Sub-optimal intake of foods, such as <a href="https://innohealthmagazine.comwell-being/consumption-of-fruits-cuts-death-risk/">fruits</a>, vegetables, and dairy products, has also been associated with lower grades among students.</span></p>

	<p><b>Relationship Between Physical Activity And Academic Performance</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Physical activity is another very important factor that affects academic performance. Today, many mothers with children as young as 10 years old, feel that enrolling their children in extracurricular activities will take time away from their studies and result in poorer academic results. On the contrary, studies have shown that students who are physically active, perform better in school, compared to children who are physically inactive. These kids not only have better grades but also better attendance and fewer absenteeism, better memory recall, concentration during lessons and lesser disciplinary problems. Physically inactive children who gradually increased their activity showed improved memory and cognitive function than when they were physically inactive.</p>

	<p><b>Relationship Between Specific Nutrients And Academics Performance</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are specific micro-nutrients that have been associated with better academic performance.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Children with deficiencies of micronutrients like vitamin A, B6, B12, folic acid, iron, zinc, and calcium, have shown to score lower grades and result in higher absenteeism. Two nutrients, known to have the strongest relation to school performance, are iron and zinc. Iron is an integral part of hemoglobin which is the oxygen-carrying molecule in the blood. Deficiency of iron is called anemia. Symptoms of iron deficiency include fatigue or tiredness, lethargy, slowed growth and development, poor appetite, abnormally rapid breathing, behavioral problems or disciplinary issues and susceptibility to frequent infections. All these individually and collectively can lead to increased absenteeism and thereby decreased academic performance. Iron deficiency also directly affects the ability to undertake physical activity, which in turn can further affect performance in school. Zinc is mainly needed for the body’s immune system to work properly. In addition, it is involved in cell growth, wound healing and for the sense of taste and smell. Symptoms of zinc deficiency are <a href="https://innohealthmagazine.comtrends/exercise-in-big-parks-can-reduce-depression/">depression</a> and psychological disorders, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">impaired immunity, impaired growth, diarrhea, delayed sexual maturation, alopecia or abnormal hair growth, impaired appetite, altered cognitive functions and altered sense of smell and taste. Zinc deficiency also leads to poorer performance in school. This can be due to the fact that children with zinc deficiency are more prone to catching an infection and falling sick, thereby missing classes, their ability to memorize is affected, there are psychological disorders that can affect learning, etc. So, how can parents ensure that they give their children the best advantage for improving academic performance? Some of the suggestions are as follows:</span></p>

<li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Always have healthy snacks stocked in your pantries, so that kids eat the right foods throughout the </span>day.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don’t be fooled by &#8220;Low Fat&#8221; labels. Such products are usually loaded with sugar.

	<p style="text-align: justify !important;">The Hyderabad-based National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) has developed the country’s first Nutrition Atlas to provide all the relevant data and information about nutrition.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">The Nutrition Atlas provides information and data on nutritional status of population groups at national and state levels, along with an overview of nutrition-related deficiencies, disorders and prevalence levels in various parts of the country along-with information on nutrients, nutrient rich foods, nutritional deficiency disorders and a host of other topics.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">The portal also includes information on nutrition rich foods and nutri-guide for various nutrients, minerals, essential amino-acids, fatty acids, dietary fibers and proteins, along with their biochemical cutoffs, recommended dietary allowances, signs and symptoms and dietary sources.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">The Atlas is interactive and displays information in the form a user may select and has been developed through a long drawn, cohesive and technical exercise by a multidisciplinary team in the bioinformatics division of NIN. It makes use of publicly available data sources like reports of National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau, National Family Health Survey, World Health Organisation and other public databases. The Dashboard acts like an information management tool, helping the user track data on under nutrition, over nutrition, overweight, obesity and communicable and noncommunicable diseases. It can also provide different time trends on each of these parameters. The development conducted the research under ICMR.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Well, for these 3 main types of people ([1] an ideal-weight person who fears getting fat, [2] an obese person who denies himself the freedom of getting thinner, and [3] a dangerously thin person who needs to put some meat on himself), there’s hope. And guessing 99.9% of you out there, fall somewhere in these categories, I suggest you keep reading if you’d like to free yourself of that potentially vicious word forever.</p>

	<h5><span style="color: #0071b2;">Survival of the fittest</span></h5>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">No matter who you are or what kind of body type you have, there is one definite rule in this universe: you’ll come out on top only if you’re physically and mentally fit. From basics like getting that attention that you have always been seeking, or emanating a strong leadership presence during your presentation, it’s all about how you look and how you project yourself.</p>

	<h5><span style="color: #0071b2;">The skinny</span></h5>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">For the person who is extremely thin (i.e., your bones are protruding on some parts of your body), it’s more a problem of eating the basics for survival. These types need to carefully plan their daily meals in order to ingest the perfect ratio of fat:protein:carbs (30:40:30). 30% of the calories they ingest needs to be fat and carbohydrates, while 40% needs to be protein.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">This, coupled with moderate exercise, will help pack on some pounds gradually. People in this type of category need to change the way they view food. Food is not the enemy; it can be your friend. Actually, it can be your savior. Without basic sustenance from vitamins, minerals, fats, carbs, and proteins, the body will self-destruct.</p>
<h5><span style="color: #0071b2;">The ideal weight person</span></h5>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">For the person who is already at his ideal weight, it’s more a problem of mental image and fear. They are usually so afraid of becoming fat that they deny themselves the smallest pleasures like a nice cold ice-cream cone on a hot summer’s day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Fitness buffs who are in top shape burn themselves out by exercising too much and not letting their bodies recuperate. They harbor this fear (whether consciously or unconsciously) that they’ll go over their ideal 10% body fat limit, and become the next Guinness World Record holder for the heaviest guy alive. Since these types are already hitting the gym 6 times a week and eating sensibly, the only thing they should change is their mental reasoning. Pushing the body too much too fast is never a good thing.</p>
<h5><span style="color: #0071b2;">The overweight</span></h5>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Finally, for the person who is obese (i.e., you can’t see your own feet while standing straight and looking down at the floor), it’s a matter of eating too much and exercising very little &#8212; if at all. This is when the calories start piling up and everything you eat gets stored as fat (yes, even protein and carbs).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify !important;">Following the aforementioned fat:protein:carbs ratio helps, but you also need to exercise at least 4 times a week for 45 minutes, doing a lot of cardio and aerobics in order to melt away those love handles and that large bottom.</p>

Eat a bit more foods high in protein, such as egg whites and meats.<br />
Eat a lot of vegetables for regulating your digestion.<br />
Eat grains and beans.<br />
Eat sensible amounts of food at mealtimes. Do not deny yourself normal portions.<br />
Be careful about binge eating. Do not overdo it, then feel guilty and regurgitate everything later on. Not only is this unhealthy for your body, but also for your mind.</p>
