Here is how you can fight dullness through your diet

We often blame our tiredness on having been working long hours or lack of sleep. However, the constant feeling of fatigue can also be attributed to poor dietary habits. There can also be other reasons for chronic fatigue; the feeling of being tired all the time, but the most obvious one of them is that your diet is not nutritious enough to keep you going through the day.

Here is a list of six dietary practices that you should follow to help you fight the feeling of fatigue and tiredness.


No refined carbohydrates

Foods like white bread and pasta constitute refined carbohydrates that cause blood sugar levels to shoot up. The spike in blood sugar levels can lead to low insulin levels in the body which can cause you to feel tired and be lethargic.


Avoid caffeine
Caffeinated drinks like coffee and tea surely provide the body with an instant surge of energy, however, long consumption can have the opposite effect. Therefore, it is advisable to keep a check o your caffeine intake to keep feeling energetic through the day.


Avoid processed sugar
Processed and sugary foods have high-fat content with no real nutritional value. Contrary to popular belief, the sugar in these foods do not really give you any extra energy. In fact, they leave you craving for more and yet feeling depleted.


Hydration
Drinking enough water throughout the day is important for the general upkeep of the body. 60% of our body is made up of water. Water is essential to flush out toxins and carry nutrients to the cells.


Try chia seeds
Chia seeds is a good source of energy for the body. It is filled with fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The perfect super-food for a healthy body.


Don’t shy away from supplements
Even though supplements cannot provide the same amount of nutrition as natural sources, there is no harm in taking supplements if a particular nutrient requirement is not being fulfilled by your daily diet.

Excess Body Weight Responsible For 3.9 Percent Cancer Worldwide: 5 Tips To Manage Obesity

Obesity is emerging to be one of the top health concerns around the world. If the findings of a latest study are to be believed, excess body weight is said to be responsible for 3.9 percent of cancer globally. The study, spoke about association between obesity and the risk of 13 types of cancers, including postmenopausal breast cancer and liver cancer, and a probable relationship with three other cancers, including prostate cancer. "In particular, not many people are aware of the link of overweight/obesity to cancer risk," said  a participant researcher of the study.

The finding also revealed that by the year 2030, 21.7 million new cancer cases and 13 million cancer deaths are expected to occur around the world. Women cases were nearly double that of men. The researchers also said that breast cancer was the most prominent of the cases. As far as men were concerned, liver cancer was one of the highest contributors.

For the study, the researchers used publicly available or already published parameters and estimates to show regional and global trends of obesity and overweight for the past four decades. In that period, the prevalence of excess body weight rose from 21 percent in men and 24 percent in women to approximately 40 percent in both sexes in all regions of the world.

"The simultaneous rise in excess body weight in almost all countries is thought to be driven largely by changes in the global food system, which promotes energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods, alongside reduced opportunities for physical activity," he said.

Diet Tips To Manage Obesity


Obese people are asked to be extra mindful of their diet. In extreme cases, people are also prescribed an obesity diet, which is a mix of proteins, healthy carbs and fibre.

Here are some of the common diet tips that may help manage obesity better:
1. Do away with refined carb sources and include whole grains. Whole grain retains all the nutrients that are often processed during refining process. Whole grains like bajra, ragi, maize and jowar are replete with many nutrient-rich properties. You can use them to make rotis and other healthy dishes.
2. Rajma and chana dals are some of the healthiest foods you can add to your diet. They are rich in fibre, which takes long to digest and keeps you full for long.
3. Opt for lean protein such as chicken or fish over their fatty red meat. Protein is essential for sustainable fat-loss. Protein also helps induce satiety and regulates hunger hormone ghrelin.
4. Include more seasonal fruits and veggies in your diet. They are a good source of fibre and antioxidants that are known to facilitate weight loss.
5. Rule out trans-fat sources like fried junk food, cookies, pasta, burger and noodles. They generate empty calories which lead to weight gain.
Follow these tips and manage obesity naturally.
