We looked at key lifestyle changing aspects and (limited) role of carbs in our diet in last few articles posted here. Today I’m touching upon an interesting element associated with each one of us. We always like and get a lot of dopamine 🙂 when we receive awards, Likes, Smiles, Thumps-up and what not…. Well to sum it up Gifts always entice, cheer and motivate us.
So friends, 2020 is already started with a much hype, and its debatable if the new decade starts now or in 2021, ubiquitously important thing is how we shape up the new year and decade for ourselves? – By initiating a few changes, taking baby steps and gradually leading to transformation in terms of Health & Overall Lifestyle.
But wait, what about the Gift? So here’s the deal : Even before you take that baby step, it would be great to understand where do we currently stand in terms of the health parameters. And doing some basic yet important pathological tests will help you understand the health of your metabolic system and symptoms of any future disorders. It won’t take more than 30 minutes over this / next weekend to undergo these tests, but would be immensely useful in providing indications / directions & taking preventive measures just in case if required. Game for it? Cool! So just go ahead and Gift these tests to yourself and you would thank yourself of taking the first step 🙂
So which tests? Only 4-5 basic tests:
- Fasting Insulin:
- HbA1c
- LIPID Profile
- Blood Pressure
- Thyroid : Primarily for Ladies
Most of the common diseases are often related to imbalance of 1 hormone, i.e Insulin, and all the above tests would in one way or the other indicate the health of this hormone in the body.
So go ahead and gift these tests to yourself. If needed, most of parameters can very well be regulated through a balanced and focused (read low carb + high fat) diet. Yes high dietary fat intake (with low carbs) is really important to keep many of the disorders at bay. Its relatively easy to follow / implement even if it requires a decent time to unlearn / relearn and align + channelize our mindset in the most correct manner.
So be assured that 30, 40, 50, 60 is the New 20 🙂 And let’s make that the Mantra for this youthful 2020.
All the Best in achieving your life goals this year.
