Well all of us are mostly aware of the General nutrition guidelines and most of the people are implementing it in their daily life, however there are a few pointers which an individual should keep in mind so as to lead a better life.

1. Avoid use of artificial sweeteners.

Sugar is been linked to cause so many lifestyle disease be it cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension, inflammatory diseases and so on.

This hormones in turn are consumed by us which leads to hormonal imbalances, lowers our immunity, cause inflammation in our body. So opt for country chicken and A2 quality milk which is a healthier choice. While we are all aware about the curd health benefits that is good for our gut health that not only improves ones immunity, but also helps in the absorption of nutrients and so on. But it depends also upon the kind of curd you consume the curd available  in market actually contain artificial colours, flavors and sweeteners (including artificial sweeteners), as well as thickeners such as pectin.hence one should opt for homely made curd. Opt for fruits and vegetables that are available locally or grow it on your own so as to keep yourself away from the harsh preservatives that has bad effect on health.

3. Don't go overboard with healthy foods.

While we all got aware and conscious about the health some started overdoing nutrition. While fibre is good for health but having in excess leads to bloating, and prevents the absorption of minerals such as iron, zinc, magnesium, and calcium.proteins being good for increasing muscle mass and optimum functioning of hormones,having too much can put a load on the kidney,Nuts and seeds has anti-ageing properties, prevents atherosclerosis but in excess it can increase ones cholesterol levels.

4. Avoid taste makers,ready made masalas.
