Food Delivery Apps Promote Overindulgence & Unhealthy Eating Habits, Says Nutritionist
The increasing availability of processed foods and the convenience of food delivery apps have significantly changed our eating habits in recent years. With a phone in one hand and a TV remote in the other, satisfying cravings at any hour has never been easier. However, this ease of access has also contributed to overindulgence and a rise in unhealthy eating patterns. In a video shared on Instagram, nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee discusses how food delivery apps are influencing our eating behaviour. The nutritionist says, "The availability of junk food has also gone up. Food is very convenient. It's just falling on your lap. You're watching television, you see an ad, and you want to suddenly order that pizza that you've seen on television. You have apps that will deliver that pizza or that double cheeseburger within 10 minutes on your lap." "With this of availability and lack of discipline, there is so much seductiveness in food that has come into the market that people have become overindulgent. They want to eat," she adds. Anjali Mukerjee mentions that people have started calling themselves 'foodies', which is a relatively new term. "This term did not exist in 1985, and people pride themselves in saying that they are foodies. Foodie is someone who loves food. Everyone loves food. There are people who love home food, and there are people who love fancy food, high-calorie food, processed foods," she concludes. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anjali Mukerjee (@anjalimukerjee) In the caption, Anjali Mukerjee shares that fast food indulgences have become normalized, and being a 'foodie' is now seen as a badge of pride among the younger generation. This emerging food trend has blurred the line between nourishment and addiction. She emphasizes the importance of asking yourself a crucial question: Are you eating out of hunger, or simply out of habit? Disclaimer: This content including advice provides generic information only.

Nutritionist's Advice For Correcting Issues Like Fatty Liver And PCOS
With sedentary jobs and fast-paced lives, taking care of one's health is a paramount concern. Often we opt for a particular diet or exercise regimen to ensure we take care of our body and avoid issues like fatty liver.

Nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee believes in this as well. In her latest post on Instagram, she has pointed out the benefits of transforming health and not just treating symptoms.

Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine that originated in India over 3,000 years ago.

She added that combining nutrition with Ayurveda and homeopathy can give one 'all the raw materials' to build a healthy body. Simultaneously, this approach removes toxins from the body, improving gut health. 'With functional medicine, and targeted supplementation, we correct chronic issues like fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, menopausal complaints, pcos etc from the root. Because when you give the body what it needs—and remove what it doesn't—it thrives,' Anjali Mukerjee said. Talking about how to correct fatty liver, the nutritionist advocated that correct supplementation and Ayurveda together might be a solution. This method could reduce blood pressure and weight as well.

Nutritionist Reveals Simple 4-Step Process To Improve Gut Health
Gut health plays a crucial role in our overall well-being. Issues like fatigue, an upset stomach, skin problems and autoimmune disorders often stem from poor gut function. Maintaining a healthy gut is key to promoting better digestion, metabolism and immunity. Nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee has recently shared a simple, effective 4-step process on Instagram to help restore gut health at home. Her approach focuses on detoxification, improving digestion, reducing inflammation and encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria. Check out Anjali Mukerjee's Instagram post here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anjali Mukerjee (@anjalimukerjee) Step 1: Remove toxins and address infections The first step in healing the gut is removing toxins and addressing any infections in the stomach. Many people unknowingly suffer from intestinal infections caused by pathogenic (bad) bacteria. Detoxification may involve dietary changes or the use of supplements designed to target and eliminate these harmful bacteria, cleansing the digestive tract. Step 2: Improve digestion A healthy digestive tract is essential for preventing the growth of harmful bacteria. To improve digestion, Mukerjee suggests incorporating herbs, vitamins and supplements such as probiotics, digestive enzymes, or organic plants with digestive properties. These can support optimal digestion and create an environment where bad bacteria cannot thrive. Step 3: Reduce inflammation Infections can cause inflammation in the intestines, which must be addressed for effective gut healing. Inflammation is a common issue for many, leading to discomfort and other stomach problems. Anjali Mukerjee recommends incorporating anti-inflammatory foods, dietary adjustments, or specific supplements to reduce inflammation and promote gut health. Step 4: Support the growth of good bacteria After tackling infections and inflammation, the next crucial step is encouraging the growth of good bacteria (probiotics) in the gut. To do this, include fermented foods like yoghurt and kefir, fibre-rich fruits and vegetables and prebiotic foods that nourish beneficial bacteria. These foods help create a thriving environment for probiotics to flourish. Final consideration: seal the gut Finally, once the previous steps are completed, Ms Mukerjee suggests 'sealing the gut.' Leaky gut syndrome, where the gut becomes permeable and allows toxins and germs to enter the bloodstream, can occur if the intestinal lining is not properly supported. To prevent this, specific dietary techniques and supplements can be used to strengthen the intestinal lining and promote healing. This 4-step process offers a systematic approach to gut healing, emphasizing detoxification, improved digestion, reduced inflammation and the growth of beneficial bacteria, ultimately leading to a healthier, more balanced gut.
