The regular consumption of unhealthy food which we used to consume almost every day owning to a hectic lifestyle, coupled with a minimum amount of physical activity has affected our health drastically. Neither consuming the right amount of food nor giving an adequate amount of nutrients to the body, is the major reason why people today suffer from certain health conditions, at an early stage of their life. But thankfully, the pandemic has made us vigilant and people have started recognizing the importance of a healthy and started adopting a better lifestyle. In this article, Nutritionist Sapna Jaysingh Patel, Founder-Health Before Wealth is telling us how you can reverse chronic ailments through simple home-cooked food.
"I noticed that most of the problems that my clients shared could be cured with just a slight shift in their daily habits and adopting the right food patterns. I asked them to evaluate their lifestyle with their grandparents and most of them agreed that they lived a healthier life and would rarely attract any disease", says Nutritionist Sapna.
The reason is that people followed the rule of living a holistic life which involved syncing their daily life pattern in accordance with the nature clock. They lived much simpler lives that consisted of sleeping and waking up on time, adopting healthy eating habits, and engaging themselves in physical activities throughout the day. The concept of dining out or feeding their bodies with burgers and pizzas has remained alien to them. They consumed what we call “Shudh Desi Ghar ka khana”. On the whole, realize that every solution that we look to maintain for our physical well-being lies right in our kitchen. The best thing about healthy home-cooked food is it's cheap, healthy, and readily available. We just need to open our eyes.

#2 You eat food in the right quantity
Usually, when we eat outside in a restaurant, cafes, or outlets, they tend to serve more amount of food than what our body generally requires. This ends up in eating more food than your body normally requires, which will also adversely affect your blood pressure, sugar level and put you at the risk of getting diabetes. Eating home food allows portion control.

Most of the patients I work with are unaware of the significance of the food choices they make on a daily basis. In reality, most chronic diseases affect people who make the choice to consume a poor, suboptimal diet. So, if you are looking for a permanent cure to your chronic illnesses, make the switch to holistic lifestyle changes today, concludes Nutritionist Sapna Jaysingh Patel.
