Set realistic goals: It's important to set achievable goals for yourself. Aim to lose 1-2 pounds per week and don't expect overnight results.
Keep track of what you eat: Writing down what you eat will help you see where you can make changes to your diet to support weight loss. Keep track of portion sizes, and make sure to include the types of foods you eat, as well as the time of day.
Focus on nutrient-dense foods: Eating foods that are high in nutrients and low in calories will help you feel full and satisfied. Choose foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats.

Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help you feel full and reduce the desire to overeat. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water per day.
Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can lead to weight gain, so make sure to get 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
Incorporate physical activity: Regular physical activity is essential for weight loss. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, such as brisk walking, every day.
Find an activity you enjoy: Choose an activity that you enjoy, such as dancing, swimming, or cycling. This will make it easier to stick to your exercise routine.

Unhealthy eating habits can contribute to different medical problems, including hypertension, coronary illness, diabetes, and even malignant growth. Also, they can influence our psychological prosperity, causing emotional episodes, tension, and wretchedness.
On the other side, embracing healthy eating habits can do wonders for our general well-being. It assists us with keeping a solid weight, helps our resistant framework, and decreases the risk of ongoing sickness. Furthermore, it emphatically influences our psychological state, upgrading our mindset, mental capability, and general mental prosperity.
Essential Nutrients and Food Groups:
The foundation of healthy eating habits lies in devouring an even eating routine that encompasses every one of the essential nutrients and food groups. Macronutrients, like starches, proteins, and fats, act as the structural blocks of our eating regimen, giving us energy. Micronutrients, including nutrients and minerals, are expected in more modest amounts yet play a significant role in keeping up with our important physical processes.
We should not fail to remember the significance of fiber....Read More>>>

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
1. Easy Tips for Planning a Healthy Diet & Sticking to It
Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving
yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, stabilizing your
mood, and keeping yourself as healthy as possible—all of which can be achieved by learning some
nutrition basics and using them in a way that works for you. You can expand your range of healthy
food choices and learn how to plan ahead to create and maintain a tasty, healthy diet.
IN THIS ARTICLE:
Set yourself up for success
Moderation is key
Fill up on fruits & vegetables
Eat more whole grains
Enjoy healthy fats
Put protein in perspective
Add calcium & vitamin D
Limit sugar & salt
Healthy eating tip 1: Set yourself up for success
To set yourself up for success, think about planning a healthy diet as a number of small, manageable
steps rather than one big drastic change. If you approach the changes gradually and with
commitment, you will have a healthy diet sooner than you think.
Simplify. Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion sizes,
think of your diet in terms of color, variety, and freshness. This way it should be easier to
make healthy choices. Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that incorporate a few
fresh ingredients. Gradually, your diet will become healthier and more delicious.
Start slow and make changes to your eating habits over time. Trying to make your diet
healthy overnight isn’t realistic or smart. Changing everything at once usually leads to cheating
or giving up on your new eating plan. Make small steps, like adding a salad (full of different
color vegetables) to your diet once a day or switching from butter to olive oil when cooking. As
your small changes become habit, you can continue to add more healthy choices to your diet.
2.
Every change you make to improve your diet matters. You don’t have to be perfect and
you don’t have to completely eliminate foods you enjoy to have a healthy diet. The long term
goal is to feel good, have more energy, and reduce the risk of cancer and disease. Don’t let
your missteps derail you—every healthy food choice you make counts.
Think of water and exercise as food groups in your diet.
Water. Water helps flush our systems of waste products and toxins, yet many people go through life
dehydrated—causing tiredness, low energy, and headaches. It’s common to mistake thirst for hunger,
so staying well hydrated will also help you make healthier food choices.
Exercise. Find something active that you like to do and add it to your day, just like you would add
healthy greens, blueberries, or salmon. The benefits of lifelong exercise are abundant and regular
exercise may even motivate you to make healthy food choices a habit.
Healthy eating tip 2: Moderation is key
People often think of healthy eating as an all or nothing proposition, but a key foundation for any
healthy diet is moderation. But what is moderation? How much is a moderate amount? That really
depends on you and your overall eating habits. The goal of healthy eating is to develop a diet that you
can maintain for life, not just a few weeks or months, or until you've hit your ideal weight. So try to
think of moderation in terms of balance. Despite what certain fad diets would have you believe, we all
need a balance of carbohydrates, protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to sustain a healthy body.
For most of us, moderation or balance means eating less than we do now. More specifically, it means
eating far less of the unhealthy stuff (refined sugar, saturated fat, for example) and more of the
healthy (such as fresh fruit and vegetables). But it doesn't mean eliminating the foods you love.
Eating bacon for breakfast once a week, for example, could be considered moderation if you follow it
with a healthy lunch and dinner—but not if you follow it with a box of donuts and a sausage pizza. If
you eat 100 calories of chocolate one afternoon, balance it out by deducting 100 calories from your
evening meal. If you're still hungry, fill up with an extra serving of fresh vegetables.
Try not to think of certain foods as “off-limits.” When you ban certain foods or food
groups, it is natural to want those foods more, and then feel like a failure if you give in to
temptation. If you are drawn towards sweet, salty, or unhealthy foods, start by reducing
3. portion sizes and not eating them as often. Later you may find yourself craving them less or
thinking of them as only occasional indulgences.
Think smaller portions. Serving sizes have ballooned recently, particularly in restaurants.
When dining out, choose a starter instead of an entree, split a dish with a friend, and don't
order supersized anything. At home, use smaller plates, think about serving sizes in realistic
terms, and start small. If you don't feel satisfied at the end of a meal, try adding more leafy
green vegetables or rounding off the meal with fresh fruit. Visual cues can help with portion
sizes–your serving of meat, fish, or chicken should be the size of a deck of cards, a slice of
bread should be the size of a CD case, and half a cup of mashed potato, rice, or pasta is about
the size of a traditional light bulb.
Healthy eating tip 3: It's not just what you eat, it's how you eat
Healthy eating is about more than the food on your plate—it is also about how you think about food.
Healthy eating habits can be learned and it is important to slow down and think about food as
nourishment rather than just something to gulp down in between meetings or on the way to pick up
the kids.
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating with other people has numerous social and
emotional benefits—particularly for children—and allows you to model healthy eating habits.
Eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating.
Take time to chew your food and enjoy mealtimes. Chew your food slowly, savoring every
bite. We tend to rush though our meals, forgetting to actually taste the flavors and feel the
textures of our food. Reconnect with the joy of eating.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry, or have a glass of water to see if
you are thirsty instead of hungry. During a meal, stop eating before you feel full. It actually
takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly.
Eat breakfast, and eat smaller meals throughout the day. A healthy breakfast can
jumpstart your metabolism, and eating small, healthy meals throughout the day (rather than
the standard three large meals) keeps your energy up and your metabolism going.
4.
Avoid eating at night. Try to eat dinner earlier in the day and then fast for 14-16 hours until
breakfast the next morning. Early studies suggest that this simple dietary adjustment—eating
only when you’re most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day—may
help to regulate weight. After-dinner snacks tend to be high in fat and calories so are best
avoided, anyway.
Healthy eating tip 4: Fill up on colorful fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are the foundation of a healthy diet. They are low
in calories and nutrient dense, which means they are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants,
and fiber.
Try to eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables every day and with every meal—the brighter the better.
Colorful, deeply colored fruits and vegetables contain higher concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and
antioxidants—and different colors provide different benefits, so eat a variety. Aim for a minimum of
five portions each day.
Some great choices include:
Greens. Branch out beyond bright and dark green lettuce. Kale, mustard greens, broccoli, and
Chinese cabbage are just a few of the options—all packed with calcium, magnesium, iron,
potassium, zinc, and vitamins A, C, E, and K.
Sweet vegetables. Naturally sweet vegetables—such as corn, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes,
yams, onions, and squash—add healthy sweetness to your meals and reduce your cravings for
other sweets.
Fruit. Fruit is a tasty, satisfying way to fill up on fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Berries are
cancer-fighting, apples provide fiber, oranges and mangos offer vitamin C, and so on.
The importance of getting vitamins from food—not pills
The antioxidants and other nutrients in fruits and vegetables help protect against certain types of
cancer and other diseases. And while advertisements abound for supplements promising to deliver the
nutritional benefits of fruits and vegetables in pill or powder form, research suggests that it’s just not
the same.
A daily regimen of nutritional supplements is not going to have the same impact of eating right. That’s
because the benefits of fruits and vegetables don’t come from a single vitamin or an isolated
antioxidant.
5. The health benefits of fruits and vegetables come from numerous vitamins, minerals, and
phytochemicals working together synergistically. They can’t be broken down into the sum of their
parts or replicated in pill form.
Healthy eating tip 5: Eat more healthy carbs and whole grains
Choose healthy carbohydrates and fiber sources, especially whole grains, for long lasting energy. In
addition to being delicious and satisfying, whole grains are rich in phytochemicals and antioxidants,
which help to protect against coronary heart disease, certain cancers, and diabetes. Studies have
shown people who eat more whole grains tend to have a healthier heart.
A quick definition of healthy carbs and unhealthy carbs
Healthy carbs (sometimes known as good carbs) include whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables.
Healthy carbs are digested slowly, helping you feel full longer and keeping blood sugar and insulin
levels stable.
Unhealthy carbs (or bad carbs) are foods such as white flour, refined sugar, and white rice that have
been stripped of all bran, fiber, and nutrients. Unhealthy carbs digest quickly and cause spikes in
blood sugar levels and energy.
Tips for eating more healthy carbs
Include a variety of whole grains in your healthy diet, including whole wheat, brown rice,
millet, quinoa, and barley. Experiment with different grains to find your favorites.
Make sure you're really getting whole grains. Be aware that the words stone-ground,
multi-grain, 100% wheat, or bran can be deceptive. Look for the words ―whole grain‖ or ―100%
whole wheat‖ at the beginning of the ingredient list. In the U.S., Canada, and some other
countries, check for the Whole Grain Stamps that distinguish between partial whole grain and
100% whole grain.
Try mixing grains as a first step to switching to whole grains. If whole grains like brown
rice and whole wheat pasta don’t sound good at first, start by mixing what you normally use
with the whole grains. You can gradually increase the whole grain to 100%.
Avoid: Refined foods such as breads, pastas, and breakfast cereals that are not whole grain.
Healthy eating tip 6: Enjoy healthy fats & avoid unhealthy fats
6. Good sources of healthy fat are needed to nourish your brain, heart, and cells, as well as your hair,
skin, and nails. Foods rich in certain omega-3 fats called EPA and DHA are particularly important and
can reduce cardiovascular disease, improve your mood, and help prevent dementia.
Add to your healthy diet:
Monounsaturated fats, from plant oils like canola oil, peanut oil, and olive oil, as well as
avocados, nuts (like almonds, hazelnuts, and pecans), and seeds (such as pumpkin, sesame).
Polyunsaturated fats, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, found in fatty fish
such as salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and some cold water fish oil
supplements. Other sources of polyunsaturated fats are unheated sunflower, corn, soybean,
flaxseed oils, and walnuts.
Reduce or eliminate from your diet:
Saturated fats, found primarily in animal sources including red meat and whole milk dairy
products.
Trans fats, found in vegetable shortenings, some margarines, crackers, candies, cookies,
snack foods, fried foods, baked goods, and other processed foods made with partially
hydrogenated vegetable oils.
Healthy eating tip 7: Put protein in perspective
Protein gives us the energy to get up and go—and keep going. Protein in food is broken down into the
20 amino acids that are the body’s basic building blocks for growth and energy, and essential for
maintaining cells, tissues, and organs. A lack of protein in our diet can slow growth, reduce muscle
mass, lower immunity, and weaken the heart and respiratory system. Protein is particularly important
for children, whose bodies are growing and changing daily.
Here are some guidelines for including protein in your healthy diet:
Try different types of protein. Whether or not you are a vegetarian, trying different protein
sources—such as beans, nuts, seeds, peas, tofu, and soy products—will open up new options for
healthy mealtimes.
Beans: Black beans, navy beans, garbanzos, and lentils are good options.
Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and pecans are great choices.
Soy products: Try tofu, soy milk, tempeh, and veggie burgers for a change.
Avoid salted or sugary nuts and refried beans.
Downsize your portions of protein. Many people in the West eat too much protein. Try to move
away from protein being the center of your meal. Focus on equal servings of protein, whole grains,
and vegetables.
Focus on quality sources of protein, like fresh fish, chicken or turkey, tofu, eggs, beans, or nuts.
When you are having meat, chicken, or turkey, buy meat that is free of hormones and antibiotics.
7. Healthy eating tip 8: Add calcium for strong bones
Calcium is one of the key nutrients that your body needs in order to stay strong and healthy. It is an
essential building block for lifelong bone health in both men and women, as well as many other
important functions.
You and your bones will benefit from eating plenty of calcium-rich foods, limiting foods that deplete
your body’s calcium stores, an
d getting your daily dose of magnesium
and vitamins D and K—nutrients that help calcium do its job.
Recommended calcium levels are 1000 mg per day, 1200 mg if you are over 50 years old. Try to get
as much of your daily calcium needs from food as possible and use only low-dose calcium supplements
to make up any shortfall.
Good sources of calcium include:
Dairy: Dairy products are rich in calcium in a form that is easily digested and absorbed by the
body. Sources include milk, yogurt, and cheese.
Vegetables and greens: Many vegetables, especially leafy green ones, are rich sources of
calcium. Try turnip greens, mustard greens, collard greens, kale, romaine lettuce, celery,
broccoli, fennel, cabbage, summer squash, green beans, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, and
crimini mushrooms.
Beans: For another rich source of calcium, try black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, white
beans, black-eyed peas, or baked beans.
Healthy eating tip 9: Limit sugar and salt
If you succeed in planning your diet around fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein,
and good fats, you may find yourself naturally cutting back on foods that can get in the way of your
healthy diet—sugar and salt.
Sugar
Sugar causes energy ups and downs and can add to health and weight problems. Unfortunately,
reducing the amount of candy, cakes, and desserts we eat is only part of the solution. Often you may
not even be aware of the amount of sugar you’re consuming each day. Large amounts of added sugar
can be hidden in foods such as bread, canned soups and vegetables, pasta sauce, margarine, instant
mashed potatoes, frozen dinners, fast food, soy sauce, and ketchup. Here are some tips:
Avoid sugary drinks. One 12-oz soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar in it, more than the
daily recommended limit! Try sparkling water with lemon or a splash of fruit juice.
8.
Sweeten foods yourself. Buy unsweetened iced tea, plain yogurt, or unflavored oatmeal, for
example, and add sweetener (or fruit) yourself. You’re likely to add far less sweetener than the
manufacturer would have.
Eat naturally sweet food such as fruit, peppers, or natural peanut butter to satisfy your
sweet tooth. Keep these foods handy instead of candy or cookies.
