☆Include PUFAs 🌻 in the diet daily.
They are present in Fatty fishes (Herring, Sardines, Salmon), flaxseeds, liquid plant based cooking oils like Soyabean, Sunflower & Safflower oils, etc☆

PUFA can help reduce bad cholesterol levels in your blood which can lower your risk of heart disease and stroke.

They also provide nutrients to help develop and maintain your body’s cells.
Hence, fatty fish or Fish oils are advised to improve cholesterol profile.

Polyunsaturated fats are a type of healthy fat that includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential for brain function.
We must obtain them from food and supplements, as our body cannot make them.

Omega-3 fats may boost heart health, promote healthy infant development and prevent mental decline in older adults.

*Remember moderation is the key.
Omega-3 and omega-6 (PUFA) play important roles in inflammation.
Omega-3 are anti-inflammatory while omega-6 are pro-inflammatory.
Hence care should be taken to balance their ratio*

Limit saturated fats –
Butter🔪, cheese🧀, full-fat dairy products🥛, coconut oil🏺, red meat, especially fatty red meat, and other animal-based foods contain high amounts of Saturated fats.

It is scientifically proven that SFA can raise your LDL “bad cholesterol” and increase risk for heart disease

- MCT oil (Coconut oil🏺) has gained a super fuel title since our body absorbs them more rapidly than long-chain triglycerides (LCTs).
- MCTs travel straight from the gut to the liver and do not require bile to break down.
- MCTs easily enter cells without being broken down, and hence they can be used as an immediate source of energy.
- MCTs may help reduce lactate buildup and so it is beneficial to the endurance athlete.

Remember that it is the overall dietary pattern that affects CVD risk. Saturated fats are one component of the diet.

Healthy diet should be a combination of fruits🍏, vegetables🥕, whole grains🌾, protein rich foods🍳 and fats🥑

☆Boost Metabolism☆



1) Build Muscles ~ Muscle is more metabolically active than fat, and building muscle can help increase your metabolism. This means you will burn more calories even at rest.

2) HIIT ~ 20-30mins of HIIT in the day helps you to burn fat & keeps Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) increased.

3) Keep moving ~ Get rid of your sedentary lifestyle and get moving.
Try to make activity part of your daily routine. Try walking more, using stairs, standing instead of sitting all day.

4) Keep blood parameters in check ~ Certain conditions slow down metabolism in your body. By going through regular blood examinations, you will be able to keep a close tab on your health and identify potential issues. It also allows you to plan preventive measures to inhibit its growth.
