Nutrition talks with Geetanjali Mengi

When it comes to aging, the main question has shifted from “how long can I live?” When it comes to aging, the main question has shifted from “how long can I live?” to “how active can I be in my later years?”. Despite the launch of many products claiming to be the secret to ageing well, scientists have not found the ‘holy grail’ of infinite longevity. Science has advanced in the area of maintaining physical function into later years. Physical activity and high protein intake are recommendations we usually associate with younger people, but these are more important as we age to maintain muscle mass. Older adults need much more protein than younger adults to grow or maintain muscle. However, people tend to decrease food and protein intake beyond age 50. Cognitive health, memory, joint health, and hydration are also important to healthy ageing. Major takeaways: 1.Maintaining muscle mass is essential to keep us mobile and independent in in our later years; higher protein intakes are vital to this goal 2. Nutrition support for joint health has been an increased focus on targeting joint- specific inflammation or providing building blocks for joint tissue. 3. Hydration has links to cognitive health and memory, and people tend to drink less fluids beyond age 50 Nutrition, physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices help to slow down many ageing processes. Healthy ageing is not something we start at age 65, but work over the course of our lives.  We lose 1 % of our muscle every year after crossing 40 years. Dietary changes like increasing our protein intake as we get older can help maintain that muscle mass so that we are able to perform activities of daily living. #askgeetanjali #dietitian #nutrition #nutritionist #diet #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #health #dietplan #weightloss #fitness #dietfood #nutritioncoach #wellnessspeaker #wellness #diettips #weightlossjourney #foodie #nutritiontips #dietician #motivation #onliedietician #onlinenutritionist #vegan #bandra #khar #santacruz #juhu #andheri #dadar #worli #lowerparel #grantroad #tardeo #charniroad #mumbai #southmumbai --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dietician-geetanjali-ahuj/message

Junk Food is not bad... Its addictive Junk food is defined as a food with empty calories meaning it does not give any nutrients but only calories. It is prepared with highly process foods like white flour, refined sugar, hydrogenated fats like butter or Dalda, excess of preservatives and additives These foods are either sweet or salty. They are also fried or high on fats. Our tongue is very addictive to sweet and salty and fried. When we eat junk food the brain cells (neurons) pump out dopamine (A happy hormone), However it paralyses the natural system to recognize hunger or satiety. Thus moderation is the key if it can't be avoided --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dietician-geetanjali-ahuj/message
