Sikhs - Health & Diet

[Big_Tera]

Why are Modern Sikhs so unhealthy? In terms of their diets. We even have so called highly respected Sikh Leaders and teachers. Yet their waistlines are alot to be desired for. 

One one hand they preach about religious morals and values. Yet one of the biggest sins is greed. They are greedy and eat to much. Its a common site seeing overweight Sikh males and and females being couch potatoes. Eating unhealthy and not exercising. 

It ia obviously not all our fault as advertising is also to blame. Ie kfc, mcdonalds, nandos. 

People are addicted to food. 

One of the biggest help to mental and physical wellbeing is excercise. 

Yet todays youth are addicted to video games, television shows. ect. 

It is okay to induldge now and then. But Definantly lack of excercise is causing all kinds of health issues in the community.

Traditional Punjabi diet is suited for a very active/rural lifestyle. Most rural Sikhs in Punjab are still very fit. 

We need to modify that diet for a mostly sedentary life in the West.

Sikhs are becoming fat which is disturbing.nothing looks worse than a fat person. It's common to see a fat sikh with rolls of flab visible under there top. T shirts normally cling onto the flab and outline it.

Fat women with flappy arms need to stop wearing sleeve less tops it's a horrible sight 

I personally believe a fat person whose flab is leaking onto more than one seat in a train or bus should pay for two tickets

Here’s my 2pence worth!

 

No matter how healthy you eat or good nutrition you think you are consuming this will only be beneficial if you are leading an active lifestyle and vice versa, no matter how active a lifestyle you think you may have without the correct nutrition you will not benefit.  It’s like the people who eat regular square meals and have a ‘Slimfast shake’ and think they will lose weight.  Not gonna happen that Slimfast Shake will make you pile the weight on.  Yeh the complete opposite to what it’s supposed to do!.  Same as saag, daal, nuts and all the right stuff which we think is good nutrition will make you fat if there is no physical output.  The same goes for exercise such as weight training, it will make you skinny if you are not feeding yourself the right nutrition.

 

Our people have no clue to what is healthy and was is correct exercise.  The only thing we know is how to count money and how to fail big time in counting and expending calories.

That is going a little to far and being a fattist. Which means discriminating against a fatty.

it's all about diet. 

The food is what screws you, especially processed stuff. Cut out ALL artificial crap and GMO's from diet.  Eat fresh veg, fruit and superfoods. Then train a few hours 3 -4 times a week.  

A lot of apnay train and train like mad, but then they go and eat crap at home, then wonder why the weight don't come off.

Just cutting out everything made in a lab, will boost your natural adrenaline and have you energized all the while. Check labels on foods and google what is artificial man-made ,  and what is not.  

I've lost tons off my belly and transferred it into solid muscle. I've gone from rolly polly, podgy waist line to a pumped V shape torso with an inch on my chest and lats.
