How much Fat, Protein and carbohydrate to eat? This works for most of us and should be adjusted with physical activity level. May not work for someone who needs specific diet for health problems. Consult ur Nutrition coach or Dr
Fat
- 25-35% of@total calories ( 1gm =9 kcal)
1/3 of fat = saturated fat
< 300 mg/d cholesterol
5g/kg body weight/day(1 gm =4 kCal) Range 2-7g/kg Females may /may not need 1-3 g/kg/d more.
<10% from added sugar. Less better.
Your training type also will matter. If u r doing for building muscles or endurance.
Protein g/kg/d ( 1 gm= 4kCal)
Sedentary -.8-1.2
Strength Training (gain) - 1.6-2.2
Endurance -1.2-1.6
Active but obese -1.2-1.6
Elderly - 1.4-1.8
Healthy looking to change body composition -1.6-3.3
Nutrition science can not be one formula for all. It will vary for various reasons. So keep adjusting with results you see and in few months you will get a fair idea what is working or not for your goals. #gettingFitterWithSandeep

Eye sight and movement are the two most important blessings we have that not taken care of can make us dependent on others. Some of us have started doing things that will help in better movement but we are getting worse and worse towards eye care.
There is no replacement for spending most of our wake up time looking at screen now. But if we can do our visual behaviour right we can handle it properly. Taking care of eye is of utmost importance for anything we do. Here are some protocols that can help.
1. Spend 10 minutes outdoor in early part of the day when sun is still low in the sky. Don’t look directly in the sun. If you can’t see sunlight if there is a cloud cover spend some more time. If u can do it again during sunset that’s bonus.

Came to know of an interesting unbelievable story of near blind person in Dads cousins family who restored eye sight back with the help of music. The boys Mom was visiting us yesterday from Mathura
So this 2 1/2 year old boy falls while playing and gets hurt in his head from the corner of the bed. After few days the family realised that he is not able to see literally anything and they go to best hospitals around the country for his treatment but no success
Then some retired old Dr in Ahmedabad suggested to teach him Raag Dhrupada. It took the boy 18 years to learn some high level of the Raga and his Mom learnt it first to teach the boy. He went on to do MA in music and slowly his eye sight returned practising music for hours

Thirst is a poor indicator of hydration needs, specially while exercising. Simple way to calculate your hydration needs. Start by multiplying your weight in kg with .033. So for me at 67 kgs daily need is 2.2 ltrs in a day.
This may vary substantially depending on temperature, humidity and how heavy your day is like resting to heavy work. And can go upto 10 ltrs also. But basic starting point is what’s mentioned above.
30% of your water needs usually come from your drinks like tea,juice etc. 20% from food. This also can be a variable depending on how much whole or processed food you eat.Vegetables have 90% water& fries have 3%. So adjust according to ur diet , lifestyle and environment.

The biggest scam in the fitness industry is body weight HIIT exercises. Maybe because it looks glamourised on SM with sweat and all. Done properly HIIT can substantially elevate aerobic and anaerobic fitness, bring down BP, lower cholesterol levels, burn fat,improve muscle
functions, and stimulate production of growth factors that help protect the brain. One session a week should be done. High intensity work means a continuous effort that would be unsustainable for very long, whereby lactate production is soaring and your body would forcibly stop
due to fatigue if you were to continue working at such a high power output. Here my output power is at 9/10 on the Borg scale during bouts of high intensity.

Heart healthy foods
1. Extra Virgin Olive oil - High in mono saturated fat. Helps lower LDL cholesterol. Also have polyphenols - plant compounds that have an antioxidant effect.
#gettingfitterwithSandeep
2. Oat meal - great source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. Works to bind LDL cholesterol in small intestine.
3.Blueberries - One of the best source of antioxidants found in our diet. Rich in anthocyanin.
4. Garlic - When chopped or crushed, garlic produces a compound called Allicin. Allicin helps widen peripheral blood vessels which improves circulation and decreases blood pressure. Also helps protect LDL cholesterol from being oxidised

This #FirdayKnowledgeSharing is about motivation and drive. Understanding Dopamine and tools that u can use to make it to your maximum advantage. How u can leverage specific behaviours, reward schedules and dopamine-prolactin balance to help ensure..
.. u can maintain motivation and capacity for pleasure over the long term. Don’t let the world control ur dopamine level. Dopamine is the thing from which adrenaline is made. Motivation is balancing pleasure and pain.
When u r sitting idle, dopamine is releasing at 3-4 times per second. If u suddenly are excited about something, not after receiving the award, then the rate of release increases many times. Dopamine is mostly released in anticipation or craving for something
