Learn How To Work With Your Body Through These Expert Opinions
Charan and Amrita Panjwani from The Fit Bear debunk nutrition myths about superfoods, menstruation and a balanced lifestyle.
Fit Body and Brain: The right guidance reduces the challenges of a fitness journey because you learn how to cooperate with your mind, reaching a certain level of awareness, mindfulness and consciousness.
Un-Superfoods: These are highly exaggerated. For example, walnuts are good for your brain. But just by eating walnuts, you don’t automatically become smarter. No single food can alleviate stress or symptoms. But they help when part of a balanced diet.
All About Balance: Feeding yourself well improves the balance between your mind and body. It is important to distribute your calories during the week so it is increased during certain parts of your cycle and reduced calories when you’re actually on your period.
PMSing: It’s important to honour PMS cravings because you cannot fight your body. You can be strong and have a lot of willpower, but it’s better to be working with your body. For some people, it's sweet, while for others, it’s savoury.
Period Power: Some women can lift weights during their periods, while others find it challenging. You don’t have to abandon all workouts, but lighten your load when you have menstrual cramps or discomfort to sail through your cycle a little more smoothly.
In giving yourself permission to enjoy food without feeling guilty or anxious as a result of planning your nutrition, you feel liberated. You know you have a way to curtail those calories later. So, you’re working with a plan and with your body.
