EAT SENSIBLY
SHREYA GOEL 34, Dietician, Chandigarh
Dietician Shreya Goel runs a chain of family clinics in Delhi, Chandigarh, Panchkula, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Patiala and Ambala. With over 10 years of experience, Goel’s weight loss programmes have provided succour to many who fight with obesity.
Age no Bar Even ten years ago, Goel did have people in their 20s and 30s frequenting her clinic. “But what is alarming now is that children as young as two are falling prey to obesity. This could prove fatal later on. In their adolescence, they become victims of diabetes, high cholesterol, fatty liver and heart disease, which usually people in their late 40s are prone to,” says Goel.
Blame it On The dietician says that obesity is the root cause for all heart disease, diabetes and stress. “Most of my young visitors are between the ages of 15-25. Diabetes and stress, which were earlier seen only in the late 40s, have now affected even school going children,” she says. Unhealthy diet and a sedentary lifestyle are the major reasons that make the youth susceptible to lifestyle diseases. “These include high cholesterol, hypothyroidism, diabetes, cardiac ailments and high uric acid, to name just a few. These, if not cured on time can prove to be fatal,” she says.
Fitness Mantra This dietician starts her morning with ginger-turmeric tea— the golden drink to boost her metabolism. “After that I have fruits and then go for a walk and do some stretching exercises. I never skip a meal,” she says. Contact smkt.teamshreya@gmail.com
