Health is wealth – an old saying. It’s true and we all are striking hard to achieve it. A large number of gyms in and around your residential area proves it. Gyming alone can’t help to achieve proper health. Along with Gyming, we need a proper diet. Some people face gastro problems after waking up.

They can start their day with Gum tea. Below is a regular plan that we can opt for. It will help in you to make a proper diet plan as per your taste. Please ensure it’s a generic plan. For speedy weight maintenance, you should visit a nutritionist. S/he will do your tests and then based on your health conditions, blood type and nutrients need of your body will suggest a proper diet plan. Normally 80% of Indians are low on vitamin D and some minerals like potassium, calcium etc. The lack of minerals in food also sometimes become the reason for weight gain and some other health issues.

The need for proper examination is a must before starting any diet plan. Banana and coconut are a good source of potassium and calcium. For vitamin D best source is early morning sun rays. But it’s difficult to absorb sufficient amount desired by the body due to hectic schedules and modern lifestyle. For this, we can have tablets or injections as prescribed by the nutritionist.

Vitamin C is volatile and thus if you are having foods rich in victim c after keeping them cut for a long time. It will lose its value. Victim c helps in developing immunity. So try to eat raw tomatoes and oranges instead of having it in juice form.

If you are low on iron you will feel exhausted. In this case please add iron-rich foods in your diet and for proper absorption of iron in your body plz add lemon before consuming the food. For example, if you are having spinach, squeeze a lemon in your bowl of spinach before having it. It will increase the absorption of iron.

There are also many small things which we need to consider while cooking and having food for maximum nutritional output.
