Nutritionist Sangeetha Aiyer shares expert tips on diet, protein, and sustainable health habits. Learn how to prioritize protein, customize your diet, and balance nutrition while respecting cultural food traditions.👇 About the guestSangeetha Aiyer is a nutritionist and the founder of a health service called Rewrite Your Story. She has personally transformed her own life through an animal-based diet and now coaches others to achieve their health goals.👇 Top 5 takeaways:* Prioritise protein: This is especially important because modern lifestyles are less physically demanding than traditional Indian lifestyles. The traditional Indian diet is carb-centric, but changing plate proportions to focus on protein is more beneficial.* Simple and Sustainable Solutions: Focus on basic nutritional principles consistently applied for long-term health, rather than quick fixes. Sustainable changes to behaviours, like prioritising protein, sleeping on time and exercising, have to become almost like a second skin.* Customise your diet: Instead of rigidly adhering to a specific diet, focus on what works for you. Sangeetha advises self-experimentation to see how you feel with any new diet over a period of weeks while monitoring physical and mental health.* Recognise food's role in culture: Acknowledge the role of food in culture and tradition, while making small adjustments to eating patterns to align with current lifestyle demands. You don't have to give up your religious beliefs or cultural practices.* Optimal Nutrition: A balanced diet should include carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Prioritise essential nutrients based on your activity levels.👇 Timestamps[00:00] Sangeetha shares her journey[02:34] Simple lifestyle changes[07:51] Adapting dietary habits[10:26] Health and wellness through lifestyle changes.[15:26] Diet for balanced eating.[17:46] Sustainable diet[22:06] Personalized dietary choices[24:19] Protein diversity in a balanced diet.[28:44] Impact of diet normalization on health.[31:04] Nutrition diversity[35:33] Vegan diets require careful planning to avoid nutrient deficiencies.[37:57] Dietary adaptations and nutrition[42:32] Cultural and religious beliefs[44:48] Veganism or Vegetarianism[49:42] Divide your plate into four sections[51:58] Importance of protein in metabolism and body repair.[56:31] Protein is essential for satiety and weight management.[58:54] Common misconceptions in India suggest protein causes heat[1:03:28] Common misconceptions about protein[1:05:39] Understanding protein's role in a balanced diet aids👇 Connect with Sangeetha:Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/sangeethaaiyer/Web:https://www.rewriteyourstory.in/Twitter:https://x.com/saaiyer👇 Connect with Rodrigo and Something BiggerLinkedin:https://www.linkedin.com/in/rodrigocanelasInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/rodrigocanelasTiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@rodrigo_canelasWeb:https://www.somethingbigger.com#nutrition #nutritionist #health #food #diet #fitness
