Stop listening to your health advisor.

Running or walking will never make your bones strong.

Here’s what will make them iron strong. The first problem is dose.

Exercise is like a prescription.

For your heart, a brisk walk is a great dose.

But for your skeleton, it’s often not enough to trigger the changes that build bone, create lean muscle, or improve strength.

How i treated my acne?

Read ahead only if facing skin issues.

Full thread in detail.

Couldn’t send a guide because too many people DMed me so this thread.
Let’s first understand why so many of us have to deal with acne.

At its core, the most common cause of acne is an overstimulation of the oil glands in your skin.

These glands are directly stimulated from a group of hormones called
androgens, which includes testosterone.

High insulin levels, (by consuming processed foods
and sugar) prompt the ovaries to produce an excess of androgens.

Do these blood test every 6-12 monthly..

Save this thread to understand the basics of blood test interpretation. Common blood tests you must know:

-CBC
- RFT
- LFT
- TFT
- Lipid profile
- Sugar profile
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin B12

Katrina kaif announced her pregnancy at 42.

Again another celebrity announcing a joyful, seemingly effortless pregnancy at 42, 45, or even 48.

If she can have a healthy baby in her mid-forties, why is my doctor talking to me about my fertility at 34?

This is a valid and important question.

Isn it?

The answer lies not in what these celebrity stories show us, but in the chapter they almost always leave out: a complex, often lengthy, and deeply personal medical journey.

To understand it, we first need to talk about what’s happening in your body. The Unchanging Truth of Ovarian Biology.

From the moment you are born, you have all the eggs you will ever have.

Think of it as a finite personal library.

As you age, two things happen to that library.

This is the biological hurdle that no amount of fame, wealth, or wellness can erase.

So how are these later-in-life pregnancies happening?

The answer is often found in the incredible power of medical science:

If you walk for 30 minutes you will burn more of fats and less of carbs.

But if you pick up pace and start jogging you burn equal fat and carbs.

But if you sprint you will burn mostly carbs and very little fat.

Does this mean if you do lower intensity cardio that will burn more fat and lose more fat? Not exactly when your body burns more fat in a activity like walking, it burns lesser fat and more carbs in the later part of day.

But this does not matter again, because burning fat is not same as losing fat.

How does lifting weight increase your bone density?

Understand simple science behind it. Every time you lift weight especially a heavier one, your muscles contract and pull on the bones they're attached to.

You will never lose your belly fat if you keep doing cardio.

This is how i lost belly fat as a busy professional.
Firstly lets get it straight, spot reduction - trying to lose fat from one area like your belly, this isn’t how our bodies work.

When you lose fat it comes off from all over your body, and where is comes off first from is decided by your genetics.

So endless crunches won’t help.

You've been lied to.

They told you that dal is protein and eggs cause high cholesterol.

40% of women in India suffer from abdominal obesity.

Here's top 10 foods that make your meals balanced. 1. Eggs

Rich in:

- Choline for brain
- Lutein for eyes
- Cholesterol to build hormones

Eggs are complete source of protein, keeps you full for longer and aids in weigh loss.

Only two eggs a day helps to hit your desired omega 3.

Consume 3- 4 eggs daily.

Your belly fat isn't the jiggly fat that you can pinch under your skin.

This is visceral fat.

More dangerous. More problematic.
🧵 What is it?

There are 2 types of fat:

- Subcutaneous fat: stored under skin at surface level.

- Visceral fat: more dangerous which wraps around your vital organs.

Think you know protein?

Most people get it wrong.

Protein is a fundamental requirement of everyone. But how much do you need?

Bookmark this 🔖 (a long one) Starting with the basics:

Imagine your muscles to be a huge wall made of small bricks.

These small bricks are amino acids which make up the muscle tissue.

Paneer is extremely rich in saturated fat.

100g paneer:
-18 g protein
-15 g fat.

Out of which almost 9g is saturated fat.

According to WHO, saturated fat should make up no more than 10% of your daily calories intake.
According to American heart association, saturated fats should be less than 6% of your daily calorie intake.

Whereas if you consume low fat paneer

100g low fat paneer:
- 22g protein
- 6g fat

Out of which 3.6g saturated fats.

People consider coke zero harmful but are okay drinking normal coke with 35g sugar(per can).

Because coke zero contains Aspartame.

-Aspartame breaks down to:

- Methanol - puts you in a coma

- Phenylalanine - which causes brain damage

- Aspartic acid - which causes cancer But

-One tomato has 6 times the methanol as Coke Zero.

-100 grams of beef has 32 times the phenylalanine as Coke Zero.

-One egg has 34 times the aspartic acid as Coke Zero.

Cholesterol is an indispensable architect, a master builder.

Let’s understand the paradox that exists around cholesterol. Cholesterol is not as some villainous substance, but as an absolutely essential building block for life.

It’s a waxy, fat-like substance that’s found in every single cell in your body.
