And at the worst, can even lead to eating disorders or mental health issues.
I'm a corporate wellness coach working extensively on health at every size. I could help with better goal setting to be more inclusive and less problematic goals.
@Nithin0dha
@zerodhaonline
Hey Nithin! I really appreciate the effort of incentivising and gamifying health for employees.
But the same blanket goal for everyone can be a problematic strategy since it, at a lowest risk level, can make people associate their worth with weight or size. (Contd)
Loved what I heard today.

Around this time last year I decided to run at
@Ladakh_Marathon
which is one of the highest marathons in the world.
I had never run before but I managed a 10k.
So, if you want to run at Ladakh this year in September, you should probably be starting now.
Hereโs how:
I have had endometriosis since 2014. But 2022 was the year when shit hit the roof.
1 in 10 women have this disease. However, since this disease isn't as easily talked about, diagnosed, or treated, the first thread in 2023 had to be about this.
Here we go!

Intervals of fast running + slow walking today.
Triggered a bad migraine attack ๐ฅบ Does anyone of you suffer from migraines after running? What do you do?
What a brilliant episode
@ShahbazAnsar_

Love how this sensitive topic is brilliantly covered.
"Reform can only come when people from the community start talking about it openly."
I wish the 18 year old, obese, trying-to-hide-herself me could see the 32 year old me doing deadlifts in the gym without bothering about who's looking ๐ฅน.
Hello

I have this old Yashica 635 camera that is not functional anymore. I want to make it functional and get a camera roll for it.
Any idea where in mumbai can I get this done?
I know CST has some shops but any specific recommendations are welcome.

After a longish gap, back to running again in Chennai this time ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Today was a walk+run around the beautiful IIT Madras campus followed by piping hot breakfast at the famous Rayarโs mess.
BRB. My eyes are leaking ๐ฅบ.
From not winning any matches at Rio to going into the semis and how!
Saved SEVEN penalty corners and beat the AUS team!

Last year when I started running, Iโd wonder what do people who just run to stay fit even do with their fitness watches and stats. Just enjoy the run!
1 year into my Garmin, Iโm totally addicted to the stats. Currently working on bringing down heart rate and increasing cadence.
First race after the long break for endometriosis surgery and rehab.
I was shit scared that Iโll never be able to run again.
So, todayโs run was both physically and mentally challenging.
Glad that I didnโt tempt into giving up at the halfway mark.

Today is
#WorldHealthDay
.
It's a good day to remind that "healthy" is not a weight range/ size/ shape.
It's a state of complete physical, mental social wellbeing.
Good health looks different on everybody. Hope you find your definition for it and pursue it with all it takes ๐

@paraschopra
The limiting factors include but are not limited to socioeconomic support, mental health status, underlying health conditions, inability to get appropriate care and more.
If it were as simple as eating less and moving more, we wouldn't see the epidemic of obesity.
@paraschopra
Weight loss is more nuanced than we think it is. Nobody who's obese thinks that it's healthy or fun to remain obese.
It is often not within their practical reach to achieve weight loss. The limiting factors are not just will or readiness to do it.

To vote them into power, you need nothing. Election card is a bonus par nahi ho toh bhi last month ghar pe aake remind karke jayenge. On the day of elections, there will be a table setup every 100 mtrs to help you.
But to save your life by getting vaccinated, you're on your own.
Coconut water is high in electrolytes and a great source for hydration.
But due to the simpler carbs in it (about 10g per serving), it can spike blood sugars for some people.
To avoid that, adding a big spoon of sabja or chia seeds can slow it down.

The most mind boggling chart for

from
@geeksonfeet
โs post.
I used to think running is a sport for the young (in my head <30 yr olds) but this chart says otherwise.
40-44 seems to be the age in the middle of the bell curve. Whatโs your guess for the reason?
Todayโs run was so slow that some fit people could probably walk faster than me. But managed to maintain slow pace throughout and yet got migraine (milder one though).
Breakfast at home for a change ๐
Hey

#nationwantstoknow
As per
@hyderabaddoctor
โs advice, today I kept very very low pace (9+ min/km) and high cadence, and voila! No migraine after the run after a long time ๐ฅน
Will keep at it till I can increase the pace without triggering migraine while running ๐ซก

Thank you so much, Maithili.
However wrong the execution, the intent here is right ๐. So, I don't have the heart to retort. I'd rather work on spreading awareness about health at every size.
Ran and walked in consistent intervals (as it shows in the cadence) ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Ate a super breakfast including gluten free avocado toast and Parsi chai โ๏ธ
Had a happy morning ๐ฅฐ

This is the hardest and the most memorable run ever.
And all I know today is I'm not the same person who stood at that start line ๐ฅน.
We moved to Chennai recently. And suddenly Iโve become a โNorth Indianโ!
Right from cooking akka to neighbours, everyone refers to us as North Indians.
I never considered Mumbai as North India but apparently everyone in the Southern part of the country does.
Didnโt feel like running today so just walked and went for a nice breakfast later.
Veronicaโs at Bandra has Bandruh vibes, gluten free bread ๐ฅน and nice coffee!
After a bit of struggle with migraine and neuropathic pain, I tried running in some phases of todayโs walk. It felt so good ๐ฅน. Cannot wait to get back to running ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ.
So, I went from having really long to really short hair last week. Most people I spoke to last week asked why and didn't know about it when I mentioned the reason.
So, here's a thread on it that nobody asked me to write ๐คญ

I recently had the privilege of working with a 65-year-old lady who wanted to improve her health and fitness.
She had never prioritized her health before and assumed it was too late to start now.
One look at the responses by men on this thread makes you wonder what exactly do men understand and think about women's health.
Having access to period products is not a privilege ๐ฅฒ
This is just a random story but it made me think ? I was at PVR this morning for a movie with a friend. She got her period randomly and couldnโt find any sanitary pads or products at PVR.
I hope this was helpful.
This is just personal experience and not medical advice.

I recently did a video on how some of the healthy snacks in the our market are not at all healthy. It made me read the whole FSSAI document on labeling standards. I realised that 'Sugar' and 'Sugars' have different meanings!
Here's the video:
#scam
My major learnings from this whole ordeal are:
1. Nobody knows your body like you do. If you think something is wrong, act on it.
2. Ask questions. All the good doctors I've been to the encouraged asking questions. Know about your disease from the right people.

Something learnt from
@warikoo
about choosing a co-founder which can even be an advice for choosing a life partner:
1. Do not hurry into it. Take your time
2. Do not compromise (specially on the values)
3. Never sign someone up in doubt
4. Trust your gut feeling
Mid morning workout for a change instead of early morning.
Photobombed a gym broโs upper body exercise video shoots while doing a full body workout myself๐คญ๐
Felt too sleepy and a bit off today. So decided to walk instead of running.
Labneh with gluten free toast and Parsi chai for breakfast post the walk was ๐.

Running at Ladakh is an experience of a lifetime.
They say once you cross the finish line, youโre not the same person who stood at the starting line. I agree. Itโs life changing.

I just discussed with someone how traumatising the second wave was as a healthcare provider. Each one of us felt helpless and devastated. Something like this wouldnโt even cross a decent humanโs mind let alone spewing it out in public. Disgrace!
Iโm travelling for two weeks in Europe and would love to show what I eat on a gluten and lactose free diet (because Iโm intolerant to both)

One of the biggest regrets I have about my health and fitness is not starting weight training early enough. I started when I was closer to 30. I wish someone had told me how important it is early enough.
So, if you're a woman in 20s, here's the thing.

For a 5 year old kid, 1 whole egg can provide more than one third of the daily requirement of proteins.
In addition to the proteins, all the vitamins and minerals present in the yolk are good for growth.
Due to their small stomach capacity, it is the best nutrient dense meal!
