Feeling tired all day? Gaining weight faster than ever? You may need the Vidya Balan diet, check 5 daily habits to avoid

Chronic inflammation can lead to various health issues, often associated with poor sleep, a slow metabolism and unhealthy habits. An anti-inflammatory diet is recommended to combat inflammation and support well-being, as demonstrated by Vidya Balan's weight loss journey.

Many people complain that they feel unwell yet cannot find a clear medical cause. They feel tired throughout the day or dizzy at random moments. Some struggle with digestion or wake up exhausted despite long sleep.

Others notice rising irritability or poor focus. This strange state is often not a disease, yet it still affects daily life.

Doctors call this condition “sub-health”. The person is not fully sick, but the body is still sending warning signs.

Science now links many of these subtle problems to chronic inflammation inside the body. It builds slowly and harms vital systems.

Acute inflammation behaves like a loud alarm while chronic inflammation acts like a quiet fire. It burns slowly without clear signs, yet it damages tissues over time.

People may gain weight more quickly or experience difficulty remembering things easily. They may also drift toward early metabolic imbalance.

After battling body-image issues for decades, Vidya Balan stunned fans with her remarkable body transformation in Bhool Bhulaiya 3. She credited her anti-inflammatory diet plan for the weight loss.

At the Galatta India’s Fans Festival, she said, “I did this thing called Elimination of Inflammation, and I lost weight since early 2024.”

According to a 2015 NCBI study, an anti-inflammatory diet focuses on natural, minimally processed foods, such as fruits, whole grains, leafy vegetables, and healthy fats from seeds. It avoids packaged and processed foods, such as those containing trans fats.

This eating pattern is often recommended for conditions like autoimmune diseases, thyroid issues and heart problems. It also supports healthy weight loss.

The Vidya Balan diet: What to eat and what to avoid

In an anti-inflammatory diet, foods to avoid include refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and pastries, as well as sugary drinks and desserts. You should also avoid processed meats, such as bacon and sausages, and trans fats found in margarine and packaged baked goods. People with sensitivities may also need to avoid dairy or gluten.

The diet encourages the consumption of colourful fruits and vegetables, healthy fats like olive oil and avocados, and omega-3-rich fish such as salmon and sardines.

Whole grains, beans and lentils provide fibre. Spices like turmeric, ginger and garlic help reduce inflammation.

At the same time, fermented foods and drinks support gut health. Such foods include Idli-dosa, curd and dhokla. Such drinks include buttermilk and kanji.

5 daily habits to avoid

Here are 6 daily habits that flare up chronic inflammation in the body. Avoid these to get better:

Late nights

A lack of proper sleep disrupts the body’s repair system. Inflammatory substances, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, begin to accumulate, causing the body to become tired and stressed.

Sedentary lifestyle

A slow metabolism is associated with increased oxidative stress. When the body is unable to clear waste properly, inflammation occurs.

Smoking or drinking

Both smoking and drinking damage cells and blood vessels. They accelerate inflammatory reactions within the body.

Weakening gut bacteria

Low-fibre diets and poor eating habits weaken the gut barrier. Inflammatory signals then spread from the gut to the rest of the body.

Suffering from stress

Long-term stress upsets cortisol balance. This keeps the body on high alert and disrupts normal immune function.

7 Symptoms That May Indicate Blocked Arteries

Many people believe that blocked arteries are a problem only for the elderly and those who are overweight, but it turns out that this phenomenon is commonplace, and according to a study in Finland, many people up to age 20 in the Western world already suffer from it. Because this is the case, the sweeping recommendation is to go and be examined as early as possible, especially if you experience one or more of the 7 symptoms listed in this article. Another thing you should know is that the abnormal flow of blood may also be a side effect of other serious health problems that should be noted since proper diagnosis and treatment can prevent a disaster.  

 

1. Pain in the calf, hip and thigh muscles

Peripheral artery disease is a common circulatory blood problem in which limited arteries cause reduced blood flow to the limbs and are a major cause of leg pain, especially while walking. This condition can cause reduced blood flow to the brain and heart, and of course to the area of the legs, hips and calve muscles. Another cause of these pains may be fatty deposits in the arteries (atherosclerosis) or blockage of arteries due to lipids. In most cases, the area of pain indicates where the clot or block is located, which helps identify the root of the problem, but there are also other ways to identify it and its sources, such as numbness or weakness in the legs, skin discoloration, shiny skin, and impotence in men. 

 

2. Chest pain

Chest pain or angina (angina pectoris) is the result of reduced blood flow to the heart. Severe pain in the chest, numbness in the left hand, heaviness, chest tightness or burning during physical or emotional exertion can be seen as a sign that one is actually suffering from arterial obstruction that requires examination, follow-up and treatment as it may be a precursor to a heart attack. There are other identifying signs that require a more thorough investigation, including chest contractions that radiate to the back, neck, jaw, shoulders, and arms, and especially to the left arm. These pains can be accompanied by shortness of breath, dizziness, and nausea, and they increase after exercise.

3. Temporary loss of vision in one eye

There are two main arteries leading blood and oxygen to the brain - one on the right and one on the left side of the neck, and they are responsible for delivering these vital substances to both sides of the brain respectively. When there is little blood flow or blockage in one of these arteries, insufficient oxygen reaches the eyes and brain, and as a result, their function can be damaged. In the case of reduced blood flow through one of these arteries, a temporary loss of vision may occur in the eye on the same side where the blockage exists, creating a screen over the eye and obscuring vision, usually only for a minute or two. Obstruction of both arteries can lead to stroke and even total vision loss, and to prevent this phenomenon you must maintain normal blood pressure and weight, a healthy lifestyle including proper nutrition, periodic examinations with a professional ophthalmologist and reporting on and family history of arterial disease. 

 

4. Lower back pain

Back problems are the second leading cause of disability and even loss of working capacity in various parts of the world, with 10% of people under the age of 20 in developed countries already having progressive obstruction of the aorta, causing problems of blockage in the arteries of the waist leading to various back problems. If you experience pain in the lower part of your back, you should know not to ignore them because they often indicate low blood flow that can cause herniated discs leading to pain and muscle contraction.  

 

5. Shortness of breath

Shortness of breath occurs when coronary arteries are damaged or blocked, and people experience it when their heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet their body’s needs. The function of the coronary arteries is to supply blood to the heart, its muscles, its electrical conduction system, and its other components. Researchers at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center in California have found that when a person experiences shortness of breath without chest pain, it can be a sign of a high-risk heart disease that requires medical attention. So, if you’re experiencing shortness of breath, and not just after exerting effort, you should be careful about what is causing it, making sure to check that it isn’t something that can worsen.  

 

6. Cold feet or hands symptoms of blocked arteries

The phenomenon of cold hands or feet throughout the year, or particularly cold hands during the winter, indicates a lack of blood - but not necessarily due to vitamin B12 deficiency in the body, rather as a result of partial obstruction or narrowing of the peripheral arteries that lead the blood to the extremities. If you are suffering from this condition, you should pay attention and check to see if you experience any other symptoms that indicate a lack of blood, such as weakening of pulse in the legs, long healing time in the case of a sore or a cut in the limbs, leg pain at rest or while walking, hair loss in the legs and feet, and of course a change in color of skin. 

 

7. Fatigue and dizziness symptoms of blocked arteries

Many attribute dizziness and fatigue they experience to lack of sleep or sleep disorders of some kind, which turns out to be true in most cases. However, according to a study conducted at Harvard University, there are few cases where fatigue can indicate disorders in blood flow to various organs, especially the heart and brain, and are a sign of the possibility of arterial disease. The inability of the body to transfer blood properly reduces the amount of oxygen flowing throughout the body causing low functioning. It should be noted that according to various experts, a constant feeling of tiredness and frequent dizziness that indicates arterial obstruction is more common among women. 

 

What increases the risk of blocked arteries? 

One of the most common causes of clogged arteries is atherosclerosis; The pathogenesis of this disease isn’t known for sure, but it is clear that this is a complex disease that can start from childhood and develop rapidly as age progresses. Atherosclerosis can occur when certain factors damage the inner layers of the arteries such as smoking, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugar or diabetes. To reduce the risk of side effects of poor blood circulation, you should exercise daily, lose weight, maintain a healthy, low-fat diet, quit smoking, and get checked at least once a year.
