In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Shabana Parveen, Clinical Nutritionist at Artemis Hospital in Gurugram, said, “Men often prioritise responsibilities at the expense of their health but maintaining well-being doesn't require extra effort, just a balanced lifestyle. Protein-rich foods like chicken, fish, beans and nuts support muscle growth and overall health. Fruits and vegetables offer vital vitamins and minerals, enhancing immune function and energy metabolism.”
She highlighted, “Healthy fats from avocados and fatty fish are crucial for hormonal balance and cardiovascular health. Whole grains provide sustained energy, aiding weight management. Calcium and vitamin D, found in dairy or fortified alternatives, are essential for bone health. Hydration, often neglected, supports metabolism and overall bodily functions. Limiting processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive alcohol intake is vital for weight and inflammation control. Prioritizing nutrition results in improved energy, physical performance, and long-term health.”
