Greetings! I am Muhammad Usman, a Clinical Dietitian and Nutritionist with one year of experience. A healthy and balanced diet is essential for maintaining good health and preventing chronic disorders. I can create a personalized eating plan to ensure you receive all the essential nutrients your body needs. Let me help you achieve optimal health through tailored nutrition guidance. A healthy diet plays a significant role in managing and potentially treating various chronic disorders. Scientific research highlights the impact of dietary habits on the progression and management of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and other metabolic and neurological conditions. Cardiovascular Disease (CVD): A heart-healthy diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, can significantly reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Diets like the Mediterranean diet, which emphasize healthy fats such as olive oil, nuts, and fish, are particularly effective. These dietary patterns help reduce blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, and decrease inflammation, thereby lowering the risk of heart disease and stroke. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Dietary management is crucial in CKD to slow disease progression and manage symptoms. Diets low in protein, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and calcium are recommended to mitigate complications such as hyperkalemia and hyperphosphatemia. Diets like the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) and whole foods plant-based diets have shown promise in improving kidney function and delaying disease progression. Diabetes: For individuals with diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, dietary modifications can help control blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. Diets high in fiber, low in simple sugars, and rich in complex carbohydrates, such as those found in vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, are beneficial. A plant-based diet has been shown to reduce the risk of developing diabetes and to manage blood glucose levels effectively. Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome: Obesity is a significant risk factor for various chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. Weight management through a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods can help reduce obesity-related risks. Reducing the intake of processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats while increasing physical activity is crucial for preventing and managing obesity and metabolic syndrome.

🌱🥦🍇 Plant-based diets are healthy, but not all plant-based foods are equal! 🚫 📖Read here: https://bit.ly/3xdPnDw ⚠️ Recent research warns against ultra-processed plant-based foods (UPFs), linking them to a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases compared to less-processed options. 🏥💔 📊 Over 118,000 people were studied, revealing that UPFs, even when plant-based, may have negative health impacts due to their composition and processing methods. 🍔🥤 🚀 Time to rethink our dietary choices! Let's focus on fresh, minimally processed plant foods for better cardiovascular health. 🌿💪 ❤️🌱 Credit: The Lancet Regional Health #HealthyEating #PlantBased #HeartHealth #cardiovascularrisk #ultraprocessedfood #meded #eMedEvents

What you eat at 40 may affect how healthy you are at 70 If you eat well now, you may live better later. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains and unsaturated fats in midlife can improve the chances of good mental, physical and cognitive health decades later, a new report shows. A study presented at a major nutrition conference Tuesday builds on years of research that a daily diet filled with highly nutritious foods can reduce the risk of developing common chronic diseases and help maintain cognitive functioning in older age. https://lnkd.in/eC43yB9t

In the realm of nutrition and wellness, the conversation often pivots to the debate around dietary choices, particularly the impact of high animal protein-centered diets on long-term health. While these diets might offer immediate benefits such as muscle growth and increased satiety, emerging research suggests a more complex picture, especially concerning insulin resistance, fat storage, and hormonal balance. High intakes of animal protein are increasingly associated with elevated risks of insulin resistance—a condition that can precede type 2 diabetes. This dietary pattern can also lead to increased fat storage and contribute to hormonal imbalances, complicating the pursuit of health and wellness goals. Moreover, these diets tend to be significantly lower in dietary fiber, an essential nutrient for digestive health, which can inadvertently lead to weight gain over time, negating the short-term gains. At ANEW Insight, we're committed to unraveling these complexities through evidence-based education. Our Deprogram Diet Culture course offers a comprehensive look into how we can shift away from restrictive dieting practices towards more sustainable, health-promoting eating habits. Stay tuned for a continued exploration of this topic in our next post, where we'll dive deeper into sustainable dietary practices that support not just individual health, but also the well-being of our planet. #HealthAndNutrition #SustainableEating #HealthAndWellness #WellnessEducation #HolisticHealth #NutritionalPsychologist #ANEWInsight #drsupatratovar #drtovar #supatratovar #drt #deprogramdietculture #NutrionalPsychology We invite you to join the conversation and expand your understanding of nutrition's impact on health by enrolling in our Deprogram Diet Culture course at anew-insight.com.

🌱🥩 What is the "Healthy" Way to Eat?🥦🍗 I remember from the late 1980s low-fat craze ("fat makes you fat") to the carb-counting 1990s and now it is the spotlight and fascination with protein. When I ask my clients about their preferred diet, they talk about high-protein diets: The Paleo, Keto, and Zone diets. These diets seem gaining in popularity. But hold on to your fork because, in a recent study published in Nature Metabolism, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh shed new light on a single amino acid - leucine. Leucine is an essential amino acid. We have no biological pathways to create it; we can only take it in from the protein we eat. Any food that is high in protein is going to be somewhat high in leucine — in general, animal proteins are higher in leucine than plant-based proteins.  So what is the danger of leucine? The study explores its impact on monocyte activation that may lead to inflammation, a key factor in the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. It turns out, that eating high-protein meals might not be as innocent as we thought, especially when it comes to leucine-rich animal proteins. Now, before you quit meat forever, let's keep things in perspective. While this study opens up a fascinating conversation, it's just one piece of the puzzle. We are all unique with unique biochemistry living in different environments. I like to remain open-minded and keep a beginner’s mind about the more unusual or bio-individual circumstances that a unique person presents with. So, as we digest these findings, let's stay curious. After all, I believe the journey to better health is education, inspiration, and empowerment. When you know better you do better. 🌿💪 Bon appétit 🥗🥑 #nutrition #research #proteinfood #health #evidencebasedpractice https://lnkd.in/d6s-PCB9 https://lnkd.in/dQinRygj https://lnkd.in/dCGZMu8G

Avoiding Ultra-Processed Foods: In today's fast-paced world, the convenience of ultra-processed foods often outweighs their health impacts. However, recent research highlights the significant negative effects these foods have on our health, particularly our gut microbiome and metabolic health. A controlled feeding trial, titled "Ultra-processed food intake, gut microbiome, and glucose homeostasis in mid-life adults," sheds light on this critical issue. The study reveals that high consumption of ultra-processed foods disrupts the gut microbiome, leading to imbalances that can negatively impact glucose homeostasis and increase the risk of metabolic disorders such as diabetes. Ultra-processed foods are typically high in sugars, unhealthy fats, and artificial additives, all of which contribute to poor gut health. The disruption of the gut microbiome can lead to a host of issues, including inflammation, impaired nutrient absorption, and weakened immune function. Here are some key takeaways from the study: 1. Gut Microbiome Disruption: Regular intake of ultra-processed foods can alter the composition of gut bacteria, leading to dysbiosis and associated health problems. 2. Impaired Glucose Homeostasis: Changes in the gut microbiome can affect the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels, increasing the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. 3. Increased Inflammation: The additives and preservatives in ultra-processed foods can trigger inflammatory responses in the body, exacerbating chronic conditions. To support optimal gut health and metabolic function, it's crucial to minimize ultra-processed food intake and prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods. Incorporating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into your diet can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome and improve overall well-being.

'Low insulin is absolutely essential for fat loss.' This was a comment on a post I made yesterday about FRUIT. On both TikTok and LinkedIn, people tried to educate me on something I've spent 25 years obsessing about. That being said, it's obvious that many men still believe you can't lose weight if you eat carbs. I don't have an issue with low-carb diets per se. What I DO have an issue with is people going around saying you MUST follow a low-carb diet. One reason many executives fail to lose weight is simply because they follow this batshit crazy information (amongst others) and make the process impossible. Do you have to keep insulin low to lose weight? No. Here's a quote from the Internation Society of Sports Nutrition's guidance on diets and fat loss: '5) A wide range of dietary approaches (low-fat to low-carbohydrate/ketogenic, and all points between) can be similarly effective for improving body composition.' ALL things being equal, low carb diets do NOT cause more weight loss than high-carb diets. But what there's more! Keeping insulin low means eating a diet that is low in carbs and prioritises foods that don't cause a large insulin spike. What does the research say about this? Here's a quote from Alan Aragon's book, Flexible Dieting: 'In dietary comparisons that equate macronutrition and fiber between the groups, differences in GI [Glycemic Index] do not impact body composition.' This is a long winded way of me saying... Eat some carbs IF you want to. #lowcarb #carbs

Nutrition and Kidney Cancer Risk Nutrition plays a significant role in the risk and progression of kidney cancer, just as it does with many other types of cancer. While no diet can completely prevent cancer, certain eating patterns can help lower the risk. Here's how nutrition relates to kidney cancer risk: Obesity: A high body weight is a significant risk factor for kidney cancer. Eating a balanced diet that maintains a healthy weight may reduce the risk. Fruits and Vegetables: Diets rich in fruits and vegetables provide antioxidants and other nutrients that can help protect against cancer. Red and Processed Meat: High consumption of red and processed meats has been linked to an increased risk of various cancers, including kidney cancer. Limiting these foods is often recommended. Smoked and Grilled Foods: These foods can contain carcinogenic substances that might increase cancer risk. Limiting consumption can be beneficial. Organic Foods: Some believe that choosing organic foods to limit exposure to pesticides and other chemicals might reduce cancer risk, although evidence is not definitive. Water Intake: Adequate water intake is crucial for kidney health and may help flush out potential carcinogens. Alcohol and Smoking: While mainly associated with other types of cancer, reducing alcohol consumption and avoiding smoking can overall help in reducing cancer risks, including kidney cancer. Remember, while good nutrition is important, it's just one aspect of cancer prevention. Regular check-ups, a healthy lifestyle, and genetic factors also play significant roles. Consulting healthcare providers for personalized advice is always the best course of action. #EatHealthy #CancerPrevention #KidneyHealth #HealthyDiet #NutritionMatters #WellnessJourney #FightCancer
