Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar has highlighted how healthy habits like having home-cooked meals and regular exercise can help regulate inflammation.
It is advisable to speak with the doctor right away if you have persistent inflammation.
In the modern world, weight loss has always been a hot topic. Words like ‘miracle’ diets are constantly churned out to grab your attention. In a similar scenario, anti-inflammatory diets have become the latest buzzword and have taken the internet by storm. Amid all the hype around ‘anti-inflammation diets,’ renowned celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar has cautioned people from jumping on this bandwagon. In a video on Instagram, the famed nutritionist has explained what inflammation is and the steps individuals should follow to regulate this condition. In the same video, Diwekar also questioned the blanket assumption that everyone needs and can benefit from an anti-inflammatory diet.
How to effectively regulate inflammation?
- Home-cooked meals:In her video, Rujuta Diwekar emphasised the importance of having home-cooked meals. She explains that the body’s inflammatory response needs more than trendy diets. Instead of quick fixes like seed meals or turmeric water, one should focus on having home-cooked food. She also urged her viewers to refrain from scrolling their phones or watching television while having meals.
- Daily workouts:Exercising plays a major role in managing inflammation; however, a balance is important in this case. Both little or more exercise can lead to chronic inflammation in the long run. Hence, Rujuta Diwekar advised that individuals should focus on work exercises that allow their bodies to recover. The goal of the workout sessions is to stay within limits and not exert more pressure than your body can handle.
- Good sleep:Another critical factor for overall well-being and body recovery is getting a good night’s sleep. Rujuta Diwekar talks about how people over 40 should prioritise sleep as it will help them stay more relaxed. “Don’t go crazy in your 40s. Late nights are harmful to the body. During your teenage or 20s, it’s not as harmful as it is in your 40s, 50s, and 60s. Prioritise sleep and that will keep you happy and calm,” she advised.
- Stress management:Rujuta Diwekar further highlights the role of stress management for better inflammation regulation. She advises that avoiding unnecessary stress is crucial when it comes to maintaining overall well-being. She eventually concluded by requesting people to refrain from online chatter. “Lastly, but most importantly, don’t pay too much attention to what the public around you is doing—what diet they’re on or what they’re saying,” she said.
If you are suffering from chronic inflammation, it is best to consult your health practitioner as soon as possible.
