When asked to Host the Equal
Sucra Gold’s Ms. Fit & Fab
pageant, I was thrilled!

Arriving in India I was excited
to learn more about a culture I
already had a deep respect and
appreciation for. Along with
sharing the understanding what
a healthy diet and exercise has
on one reaching their full
potential

There are many myths about
exercise and fitness that keep
people from the gym and
adding exercise to their daily
routine. I am here to dispel the
myths and help you get even
more out of life!
Healthy Body, Healthy
              Mind
Getting healthy doesn’t happen overnight, but making small changes
     to your daily routine will produce positive long-term effects.
 Changing your nutrition, exercise and how you handle stress will
               improve your life and longevity overall.

•   Your might be sore, don’t do too much too soon.

•   Don’t try to make up for lost time.

• If you are starting resistance training for the first time,
try picking 1-2 exercises for each area of the body.

•Start out with something like walking that raises your
heart rate a little bit, nothing that will get you too out of
breath.

•Try doing this for 10 minutes the first few times you
exercise, slowly progressing the duration of the workout.

•If you can handle 30 minutes at that pace, start building
a little more intensity.

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is not a disease. It is a
body condition in which either
there is less production, or lack
of proper response to insulin
hormone produced in the
pancreas. Insulin is important for
us because it helps cells absorb
glucose for converting into
energy.

Diabetes leads to accumulation
of glucose in blood, the reason
why it is also called blood sugar.

Diabetologists have now found
solid proof that:
Adopting a healthy lifestyle
reverses one’s chances of
developing diabetes!

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. It takes professional months — often years — of hard training with very heavy weights and prescription supplements to bulk up. Moderate weights and many repetitions help tone and strengthen without making you look like the Incredible Hulk. As long as you don't overdo it, you don't need a medical certificate to start exercising. Everyone over 35 years, however, should have a medical exam that includes a treadmill stress test to measure cardiovascular fitness. If anything, exercise helps to lower blood-pressure and help control diabetes better. Everyone loses some muscle with age, but weight training helps slow the decline. Even the very old and frail — deconditioned 72 to 98-year-olds — benefited from a 10-week programme of weight-training, confirmed a study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Using free weights (barbells and dumbbells) and machines with adjustable tensions led to slight increase in muscle mass but a substantial increase in muscle strength. This meant better balance, fewer falls, improved mental alertness, increased immunity and less depression. http://www.hindustantimes.com/Lifestyle/Wellness/Fact-amp-Fiction/Article1-599034.aspxGymming six days a week to get chiselledpecs and washboard abs is clearly not for everyone, which is why there are so many people moaning about their physical imperfections. It's also the reason why the list of reasons why people cannot or should not exercise is longer than why they should. Then there's the other set that works out for all the wrong reasons. Since the myths around exercise are as many as those around fad diets, HT Sunday examines how ten most popular misconceptions about working out stack up against scientific fact:I want to spot-reduce fat from one part of the body Your trainer and friends may tell you it's possible, but scientific evidence shows it's not. If you exercise enough, you will lose weight from all parts of your body, and not selectively from your waist, thighs or hips. Fat from the area where you put on weight first is the last to go. For most men, that is the belly, and for women, it's hips and thighs. I'm a night owl, I can't exercise in the morning Most people believe that you get an energy boost from morning exercise, but working out at night interferes with sleep. Fortunately, there is no one best time to exercise. What's important is fitting a fitness schedule into your day. Just make sure to always work-out two hours after eating and one hour before bedtime. Exercising a couple of hours before bedtime will, in fact, probably help you sleep better. Yoga's all I need to be fit Yoga is great for flexibility and toning muscles, but does little for cardiovascular fitness. For that, you need to do aerobic exercises for 40 minutes to an hour, never for less than 30 minutes. You start getting cardiovascular benefits only if the heart rate stays elevated for 20 minutes. Beginners should start with 40 minutes of low-impact aerobics (walking, running) benefits three times a week and gradually increase it to 40 minutes of moderate activity five times a week. I'm physically active, I don't need exercise As little as 40 minutes of activity such as housework is enough to keep you healthy, recommends the World Health Organisation. Not quite. While this is the bare minimum you need to do to ensure people don't mistake you for a vegetable, you need to sweat it a little if you really want to shape up. There is no excuse for being inactive. If you don't like gyms, you can walk, spot jog, do push-ups or rearrange your room. More intense the workout, the more fat you burn Not necessarily. It's best to go by your target heart rate. If you exercise too hard and fast, you may be burning fewer calories than in less intense workouts because your body cannot get enough oxygen to burn the fat effectively. Sit-ups and crucnches give you flat abs Sit-ups and crunches strengthen abdominal muscles but cannot get rid of all the fat. To flatten your belly, you need to get rid of the fat fiest by burning more calories. Only after you get rid of the stomach fat that your abs will show. I'm too old to start weight training Everyone loses some muscle with age, but weight training helps slow the decline. Even the very old and frail — deconditioned 72 to 98-year-olds — benefited from a 10-week programme of weight-training, confirmed a study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Using free weights (barbells and dumbbells) and machines with adjustable tensions led to slight increase in muscle mass but a substantial increase in muscle strength. This meant better balance, fewer falls, improved mental alertness, increased immunity and less depression. Weight-training makes you bulky It takes professional months — often years — of hard training with very heavy weights and prescription supplements to bulk up. Moderate weights and many repetitions help tone and strengthen without making you look like the Incredible Hulk. I can't run, I have high blood pressure As long as you don't overdo it, you don't need a medical certificate to start exercising. Everyone over 35 years, however, should have a medical exam that includes a treadmill stress test to measure cardiovascular fitness. If anything, exercise helps to lower blood-pressure and help control diabetes better. Running is bad for my knees No, it actually protects your knees from damage and pain. Regular runners have 25 per cent less musculoskeletal pain and arthritis than non-runners when they get older, reported Researchers from Stanford University in southern California in Arthritis Research and Therapy. The joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles of runners get conditioned to the habitual pounding and help their joints withstand the stresses of ageing.

  3. Before beginning any fitness routine, it's important to warm up, then do some light stretching. Save the bulk of the stretching for after the workout.Once you're warmed up, experts recommend three different types of exercise for overall physical fitness: cardiovascular activity, strength conditioning, and flexibility training. These don't all have to be done at once, but doing each on a regular basis will result in balanced fitness.Cardiovascular activity. Start by doing an aerobic activity, like walking or running, for a sustained 20-30 minutes, four to five times a week, says Bryant. To ensure you're working at an optimum level, try the "talk test": Make sure you can carry on a basic level of conversation without being too winded. But if you can easily sing a song, you're not working hard enoughStrength conditioning. Start by doing one set of exercises targeting each of the major muscle groups. Bryant suggests using a weight at which you can comfortably perform the exercise eight to 12 times in a set. When you think you can handle more, gradually increase either the weight, the number of repetitions, or number of sets. To maximize the benefits, do strength training at least twice a week. Never work the same body part two days in a row.Flexibility training. The American College on Exercise recommends doing slow, sustained static stretches three to seven days per week. Each stretch should last 10-30 seconds.Others Who Viewed ThisPage Also Saw:The Nogym WorkoutThe 30minute Workout RoutineYour Personal Fitness ScheduleLeast Effective Exercises Pictures Slideshow: 9 Exercises to LoseThe 30-Minute Workout Routine Slideshow: Exercise Pictures and Workout Schedule9 Least Effective ExercisesSafe Exercise With Your Dog: Walks Games Dog Parks and Paw CareTo learn how to perform certain exercises, consider hiring a personal trainer for a session or two, or take advantage of free sessions offered when you join a gym.
  4. Another reason for soreness is trying to do too much too soon. Don’t try to make up for lost time. Start out with a few exercises and slowly progress. Your body will gradually adapt to the increased stress. If you are starting resistance training for the first time, try picking 1-2 exercises for each area of the body - the upper body, lower body and core. Also take into consideration the anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts of the body. For example, if you pick two core exercises, you might try bicycle crunch for the abdominals (front of the body) and lumbar extension for the lower back (posterior part of the body). If you are a beginner to aerobic training, start out with something like walking that raises your heart rate a little bit, nothing that will get you too out of breath. Try doing this for 10 minutes the first few times you exercise, slowly progressing the duration of the workout. If you've increased the time to a point where you can handle 30 minutes at that pace, start building a little more intensity. For example, you could attempt 2 or 3 days of 30 minutes each at your initial pace, followed by a 10-minute day at an increased intensity.
  5. Indian cuisine, if prepared using low-fat cooking methods, can have many health benefits since many dishes contain legumes, vegetables and grains that are high in fiber as well as iron, according to the American Heart Association. Iron is needed in the body to carry oxygen from your lungs throughout our bodies as a part of the protein hemoglobin. According to the Centers for Disease Control, most individuals should consume 8 to 11 mg of iron daily, with more recommended for women of child-bearing age and those that are pregnant. The American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin, or AAPI, report that many Indian dishes are prepared from beans, meats and green vegetables and served with rice, all of which are rich sources of iron.DalDal refers to any legume as well as any complete dish or soup made with legumes. In Northern Indian cuisine, according to the AAPI, beans most frequently consumed include garbanzo, kidney, and urad. Such legumes, as well as lentils, contain about 2.5 to 3 mg of iron per 1/2 cup serving, according to the USDA Nutrient Database. Dal is usually served with basmati rice or a bread such as naan or whole grain chapati bread. Rice such as basmati contains about 2 mg of iron per cup.Foods high in Iron Nutrition chart. Foods (all 1878 products) www.wholefoodcatalog.infoSponsored LinksTandooriTandoori dishes are named for the tandoor, or clay oven in which the dish is cooked. Common tandoori dishes include chicken and lamb, both of which are popular meats in Indian cuisine.

  6. What's in our fruit and vegetables?Fruit and vegetables are packed full of goodness and often contain a number of essential vitamins and minerals that cannot be found in other types of foods or they may contain higher levels of these nutrients than other foods. They are made up of water, melons up to 94%, which is also essential for the body and their skin and seeds contain plenty of fibre, which our body needs to help cleanse and rid itself of waste and toxins. Fibre is needed to keep bowel movements regular, lower cholesterol, prevent constipation, bowel cancer and other illnesses of the bowel and intestine such as diverticulosis.
