Testimonial of a Diabetic dropping their levels after 20 years

Regimen adherence problems are common in individuals with diabetes, making glycemic control difficult to attain. Because the risk of complications of diabetes can be reduced by proper adherence, patient nonadherence to treatment recommendations is often frustrating for diabetes health care professionals. This article reviews the scope of the adherence problem and the factors underlying it.

Watch how at QUA NUTRITION WE AREABLE TO CHANGE A DIABETIC's blood level.

Most health care providers use the term “compliance” instead of “adherence,” although these concepts are quite different. Compliance has been defined as “the extent to which a person's behavior coincides with medical advice.” Noncompliance then essentially means that patients disobey the advice of their health care providers. Patient noncompliance is attributed to personal qualities of the patients, such as forgetfulness, lack of will power or discipline, or low level of education. The concept of noncompliance not only assumes a negative attitude toward patients, but also places patients in a passive, unequal role in relationship to their care providers.

 The only way is the Diet and Nutrition alterations that accompany a permanency in lifestyle adaptation. In fact a Study at Stanford confirms that it takes over 67 days to frame  new habit....so most of our DIET PROGRAMS are 100 days to start of with.

Ramadhan made easier with Nutrition & Diet Planning

Diet Plans customised for Islamic Beliefs

To be healthy, one must consume food from the major food groups: bread and cereal, milk and dairy product, meat and bean, vegetable and fruit. During the month long fast of Ramadan the metabolic rate of a fasting person slows down and other regulatory mechanisms start functioning. Body and dietary fat is efficiently utilized. Consuming total food intake that is less than the total food intake during normal days is sufficient to maintain a person's health. Intake of fruits after a meal is strongly suggested. A balanced diet improves blood cholesterol profile, reduces gastric acidity, prevents constipation and other digestive problems, and contributes to an active and healthy life style. (Int. J. Ramadan Fasting Research, 3:1-6, 1999)

To all my Islamic brethren, I wish for you to journey through Ramadhan with the knowledge that Fasting has scientific benefits to the Human Body. As a clinical Biochemist, food biotechnologist and a Nutritionist, many of my Muslim clients have been coming back to our clinic for their NUTRITION plans during Ramadhan. Why because we add an element of science to the fasting period helping clients loose weight. Most people gain weight during fasting periods and I will set about in my video to explain why you put on weight.....

Eating for religious purposes now can be bettered with a scientific application of Dietitics to it. NO LONGER should fasting and breaking your fast, be about Guesswork! It should be a PLANNED QUA!

Watch my Video to help you understand the following

1. How the Human body works in a fasting state?

2. What meals should be eaten at Sehri and Iftar ( They should differ)?

3. What supplements can carry you through weight loss and healthier living?

Some words of caution as a Medical Nutrition expert....Believe it or not most people tend to add weight during Ramadan in spite of going more than 15 hours with nothing to eat or drink. I’ll tell you how …….. going more than 15 hours with no food automatically shuts down your metabolism because the body thinks its starving and for that it goes into survival mode holding on to the fat and keeping fat burning to a minimum imagine after that (prepping your body to hold on to fat) people overcompensate in the remaining less than 40% of the day between 6:40 Pm till 3:20 Am which is a less physical active period ……. so basically your eating a lot when your metabolism is so slow in a period that you’re the least active.

Nutrition for the GYM needs to be customised to your SEX, Muscle and Type of Exercise you Do!

GET STRONGER THE RIGHT WAY

More often than not, the average person under consumes protein, while the average athlete over consumes it.

PREPARE YOUR BODY FOR THE OVERHAUL: Right before the workout, protein is the most critical component as it will prevent the muscle from being broken down for fuel and will stimulate muscle growth and strength gains immediately after the workout. Also required is slow digesting carbohydrate to fuel your workout till the very end. As a sports nutritionist, my favourite pre training food is oatmeal with skim milk.  

POST WORKOUT: Immediately after the workout, refuel your body with fast-digesting protein and carbohydrates. Protein provides your muscles with an immediate source of amino acids for building muscle protein. The carbohydrates will restock your depleted muscle glycogen stores, blunt the release of the catabolic hormone cortisol and will boost your levels of the anabolic hormone insulin. Insulin drives nutrients like glucose, amino acids and even creatine into muscle cells.

In my practice as a sports nutritionist, I often notice that post workout or training, overdosing on animal protein like eggs is a common practice. Ideally one should have a carbohydrate – protein ratio of 3:1 to witness gains in muscle mass. Eg’s: Flavoured yoghurt, Flavoured milk drinks, Fruit Smoothies, Meat/Chicken sandwiches, Breakfast cereal and milk.

EAT FREQUENTLY: Eat every two to three hours to get adequate calories. It keeps your body fuelled, supplies continual amino acids to your muscle fibers, and keeps your metabolism running.

HYDRATE WELL: Getting in plenty of water is critical for strength. Research shows that just a 2% decrease in bodyweight from water loss can significantly decrease muscle strength.

STAY AWAY FROM JUNK FOOD: Candy, chips and french fries can help you meet your additional requirements for energy but they can get you fat. Also, while sugar is good after a workout, it's horrible any other time of day because of insulin. When you boost insulin while you are just sitting around, it encourages fat storage and leads to more hunger and energy lows. A particular problem is high-fructose corn syrup.  Fructose can't be used by the muscles for fuel. So it goes to the liver where it is converted to glycogen. Once the glycogen levels of the liver are full it converts fructose into fat.

TENNIS ace, Sharmada Balu in Counseling with Celebrity Sports Nutritionist RYAN FERNANDO, Watch the insights in this counseling and why you should invest in a SPORTS NUTRITION PROGRAM FOR YOUR CHILD

Sharmada Balu's career graph is on an upward swing. The 17-year old Sharmada has jumped from beyond 1000 to just over 700 in the women's ITF rankings after her title winning effort at the Lucknow ITF $ 10,000 women's championship, this April.

She is now 5'10” tall, packs a real punch in her forehand and has earned a reputation for not giving up when the chips are down.

“That's been her greatest gain, in recent times,” says her coach Arjun Goutham, at the fledgling Tennis Excellence Academy, where the 10th standard student from Poorna Learning Open School student, sweats it out everyday.

“She is very talented. With a few more strokes in her armoury and a fitness regime in place, Sharmada will go a long way,” contends Arjun.

He adds, “Her serve and winning big points are her strengths.”

Born in a sports-loving family, Sharmada was started on gymnastics at the age of seven by her father, a State-level roller-skating champion.

A two-year stint at the Sports Promotion Association (SPA) provided the impetus for the young girl, who trained under Kiran and the Mahila Seva Samaja in Basavanagudi.

Sharmada joined the Tennis Village in 2001 and was handpicked by Indian Davis Cupper Mahesh Bhupathi for the Foundation for Indian Sports Talent (FIST) programme before being drafted into the Apollo Tyres Mission 2018 programme.

“I was coached by Mose Navarra, Prahlad Srinath and others. It was a fantastic experience.

I got to travel around the world and played in different conditions and surfaces. Unfortunately, the programme closed down abruptly,” she says.

“My parents – Balu and mother Suman – were pillars of strength and ensured that my exposure trips did not suffer even after the Apollo Mission.

At Tennis Excellence Academy, since last April, Sarmada says, “the introduction of fitness coach Vikram Aiyappa, mind coach Shree Advani and Nutrition coach Ryan Fernando ( VIEW Sharmada's SPORTS NUTRITION PROGRAM HERE)have contributed to my all round development,” vouches the teenager. In February this year, Sharmada was ranked in the 1300's but a good showing in the semi-finals at Ahmedabad and the Lucknow title win catapulted her to 700.

She is currently attending a 45-day fitness and conditioning camp under trainer Javier Captaine in Barcelona, Spain.

“At this moment, I am digging deep into my parents funds and will need a sponsor chipping in soon. Wimbledon glory and Olympic gold is very much in my radar but to reach there I need to play more at the international level.”
