 Namaste to all, this is Navneetah Shah, Chief Dietitian at Manipal Hospital for the Airport Road Bangalore and today I am here to talk about the importance of nutrition and also to share the experience of two of my patients. A good nutrition will provide you with energy, protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. A balanced diet will help you to strengthen your overall well-being and as it says that a healthy and balanced diet is a key to all. As we know that a poor diet which is lacking nutrients will ultimately lead to a lot of lifestyle related diseases. For about four months I was suffering from frequent fever and shivering. I consulted many doctors and at last we went to Manipal Hospital where initially Dr. Srikanth sir and Dr. Sareja ma'am made several tests to find out what had really happened to me. Finally they came to conclusion that it was nothing but Crohn's disease and it is a very rare disease. As further suggestions there were two methods to get recover and one is surgical methods and another one is to follow complete three phase diet. As surgical method was not suitable to my age they recommended diet and Dr. Srikanth sir recommended dietitian Abneetah ma'am. Geetha Sri was suffering from Crohn's disease. She went through the three phase diet where she had to follow each phase for a period of six weeks. So after following all the three phases she is doing perfectly fine now. All her side effects and symptoms that she used to get earlier is completely gone and she is leading a perfectly normal life. Also with the little son of Mr. Harinder he has completely recovered from the jaundice following a proper diet that was prescribed by one of my team member. He has admitted due to the liver problem there we don't have an idea about how to follow the diet. During that time we have consulted with Geetha. Geetha has given very good instructions what is the diet we need to follow. She has an empathy towards the patient not the sympathy because of that presence she has given very good instructions to us and also she is giving offline instructions whenever we require. As per Geetha's instructions we follow the same diet pattern within one or two months he has recovered. He is now back to his normal life playing and he can study and he is doing perfectly fine. I would also like to share some of the healthy tips which can help you to boost your immunity. So friends please include food which are rich in vitamin C, zinc, carotenoid, omega 3 fatty acids and which are high in protein. There are two sources one is vegetarian and another is non-vegetarian. Also for your omega 3 there are two sources again for non-vegetarian sources the fish oil is a very good source and for vegetarian sources you can take flax seeds and walnuts. So this all if you are including on your daily basis also you have to ensure that you have enough sleep at least 8 hours of sleep which will help you to boost your immunity drink lot of water and make sure that you are stress free.
