Editor’s Note The Innovation Frenzy: Brands That’re Redefining Market Standards Through Consistent Breakthrough Products Companies That’ve Bounced Back Stronger After Daunting Setbacks

W

hen thinking of innovation, we often imagine products & services that have new and advanced features. Innovativeness is generally likened to novelty, which is an accurate comparison but somewhat incomplete in its meaning. Rarely do we view innovation for its true essence, i.e., a dramatic shift in people’s paradigms (and not just a mere improvement in features).

In 2021, a few brands have been especially capable of upholding the true definition of innovativeness through their offerings. These versatile brands have consistently doled out breakthrough products & services, and in turn, also spurred a perspective-shift in their industries. Thanks to their efforts, the overall standards for quality and technology in the market have raised to a whole new level.

KIMS Hospitals is one such brand that has been at the forefront of innovation in South India’s healthcare space. The brand is especially renowned for its Heart & Lung Transplant Institute, which has performed several ‘first-of-itskind procedures. The brand has also inspired other hospital chains to adopt a holistic, multidisciplinary approach in their patient care.

Nilvarna Design and Consultants (OPC) Pvt. Ltd is another brand that has spurred reformative change in its industry. The brand has set new benchmarks for developing practical yet out-of-the-box designs in modern architecture and urban planning. In addition, it has motivated other brands to adopt new thought processes in product and industrial design.

A few other brands that’ve been a part of this innovation frenzy are Seven Twenty Ten Network, Iconicsolutions-LLC, and Greenfuel Energy Solutions.

Seven Twenty Ten has inspired new modi operandi in the sports and media space, while Iconicsolutions-LLC and Greenfuel Energy have done so in the medical billing and renewable energy sector respectively.

Despite the fact that we’re not all entrepreneurs, the streak for innovation lies latent in all of us. It takes some essential ingredients, viz., curiosity, selfdiscovery, and a hunger for learning, to unveil this hidden quality of ours.

Never stop innovating! Our existence is only fulfilling to the extent we’re ingenious and adaptable. Live a life that defies all conventions and norms!

IIPC INDIA

An Illustrious Training Institute That’s Redefining Professional Education

By Yash Annand | Prime Insights

I

n India, millions of students seek professional courses to meet their diverse career needs.

Statistics show that pursuing a professional/ vocational course significantly boosts a student’s chances of landing high-paying jobs. It also helps them holistically develop skills and qualities on the personal front.

To bolster students’ career growth, IIPC (International Institute of Professional Courses) India offers them multifarious courses with a growth-oriented approach. Situated in Pune, IIPC provides cutting edge knowledge to students through its advanced curriculum and practical trainings. IIPC has successfully transformed the careers of thousands of students so far. It is regarded as an unequivocal leader in the domain of professional education.

An Overview of the Brand

Being an internationally acclaimed Training Institute, IIPC India has its presence in the USA and Germany. The institute is dedicated to helping its candidates acquire the best corporate job opportunities in their respective career fields. Here are the professional courses the institute specializes in: • • •

Digital Marketing Course (E-Learning & Classroom Training) HR Training (E-Learning & Classroom Training) Data Science Courses (E-Learning & Classroom Training)

What makes IIPC stand out from its competitors is its relentless passion to make a difference. To help every student, irrespective of what social class/creed they hail from, the institute makes it a point to offer only feasible courses. The affordable fee structure, however, doesn’t mean that the institute compromises on faculty or training quality. It ensures that all its courses are up-to-date; all its professional trainers, too, must be highly experienced and have a vast knowledge of their field.

18

IIPC offers international certifications like Google certificates, apart from an institution certificate that implies the completion of the candidate’s Professional Training Course.

Once the course is completed, it also gives internship opportunities at the institute itself. The idea is to help candidates learn more about working on digital platforms.

of classroom training figures if the internet and other things meet the required criteria,” he adds.

Notable Achievements & CSR Activities

Since the last 3 years, IIPC has sustained an impressive 66% placement record, among many other noteworthy achievements.

Some of these achievements have been listed below:

IIPC’s Inception Story

•

IIPC was founded in 2014 by Mr. Tejas Kharat and Swapnil Dalvi.

Their idea was to homogenize the education offered to the youth aka the future of the country. “If I speak about the motivation factor for this venture then to be frank with you it had its chapters and moments which played a huge role, but as even a huge tree was first a seed, similarly there was an idea of giving back to the world, leaving it better than as we found it,” recollects Tejas.

Despite having a bright career ahead in their respective fields with over 12 years of experience in HR, both, Tejas and Swapnil felt deeply towards creating something that exceeded monetary gains. “I always believed that it’s not all about money, but about the unexplainable feeling or the unmeasurable gratitude where teaching as a profession had and business even though being a huge factor with profit and loss we at IIPC India value this sentiment to our core,” adds Tejas.

With this intent, they aspired to imbibe the same morals and values in their other venture, IIPC India, as well.

• • •

“Outstanding work in the field of Education” – Maitreya Foundation India - 2017 “Social Activist Institution 2020” – Police Friends Association(Maharashtra) - 2020 “Excellent Digital Marketing Service Provider” – Chate Public School, Pune - 2021 “Top 10 E-Learning Portals In 2020” – Business Connect Magazine - 2021

The institute also actively partakes in CSR activities like Road Safety Awareness. In the last year, the institute provided sanitizers, masks, and raincoats to policemen. It also distributed food supplies amongst the poor during the lockdown period.

To add to this, IIPC India also adopts 2 children from the rural outskirts of Pune every year. It then funds their education till the time they graduate and secure themselves a job.

Plans for the Future

In the coming years, IIPC plans to standardize its training processes across the globe.

With this, it aspires to establish itself as a Globally Recognized Brand in the educational sector. Apart from this, the institute also plans on making it to the Top 10 Institutes that offer quality training in HR, Digital Marketing, and Data Science.

“It’s the first step towards revolutionizing the education sector later on we also plan to involve some upgraded methodologies in training and live business projects to gain valuable experience in terms of placements & training for our candidates,” says Tejas.

How IIPC overcame the obstacles put forth by COVID-19

The pandemic proved to be disastrous for many sectors and the educational business sector was no exception. Being a rapidly growing institute, IIPC too had to face numerous challenges due to COVID-19. “Due to covid -19 the business requirements changed overnight and the shift which was supposed to happen over 3 to 5 years down the line got streamlined in the present scenario,” says Tejas.

Despite the sudden shift in operations, IIPC immediately converted its educational services into live interactive classes and an E-learning Management System (LMS). This system was recently made public and was inaugurated by the esteemed Honorable

A Message to Budding Entrepreneurs

Being an indefatigable proponent of resilient positivity, Tejas urges young entrepreneurs to stay steadfast while pursuing their dreams. He likens this journey to sailing a ship in a stormy sea.

Here’s what he has to say: “Being an entrepreneur in the current times, where the world is changing so fast and things are evolving at an alarming rate, is a brave thing to do. You always need to be on your toes finding solutions to the problems that are unknown, just like a ship in a big blue ocean which has been surrounded by a storm. The only advice you need to know to reach to the safe haven – the shores of success, is to steer through the waves, cutting them precisely with guided maneuver and faith. You need unequivocal faith in your skills and your intuition.”

Mr. Praveenji Salunke (I.P.S, I.G. CID Crime Maharashtra), and Mr. Deepakji Lagad (Sr. Police Inspector, Deccan Pune). Many

other renowned legal and political entities were also present at the occasion.

“We have taken measures that a monotonous video teaching format to be discarded from the E-learning Modules and making it a two-way conversation where candidates can engage in realtime and get their queries solved, which provides a decent replica

Apple’s Potholed Journey to the Luxury Car Industry with “Apple Car”

By Trishani Sarkar | Prime Insights

O

ver the years, Apple Inc has managed to establish itself as one of the leading smartphone companies in the world. As if its evergrowing iPhone series wasn’t enough, the company has already made plans of targeting the luxury car market.

While the company is hopeful about this ambitious step, there seem to be a plethora of factors that it might need to

consider.

For starters, Apple would have to make its mark in an intimidating $230 billion luxury car market, with century-old players like Mercedes-Benz. This, in itself, would be a huge task.

In 2014, Apple hinted towards its interest in dabbling into the luxury car market. Since then, it has had to face a fair share of ups and downs. Right from false starts to the company’s indecisive plans rotating between electric vehicles and self-driving technology, Apple has had quite the journey with this project.

20

Contract Manufacturing to a Third Party

An automotive giant, Tesla, had to face quite a few shortcomings in its initial days with the production of its electronic cars. Some of its cars had manufacturing problems as well as missing production goals.

In this case, Apple’s CEO Tim Cooks should also consider contracting the manufacturing to a third party to push his project forward.

Technology Way from the iPhone

Different

Apple is known for its cutting-edge technology.

The California-based company runs the game when it comes to the latest gadget technology. However, the automobile industry is a different ball game altogether.

Owing to the lack of visibility in how many automobiles are expected to be shipped in the first year itself, there’s little incentive for any supplier to produce an adequate number of components. Moreover, the technological differences between the two industries are almost astronomical, which has certainly become evident to the company over the years.

Foxconn Technology Group

To enter the automobile industry, Apple’s contract partner for iPhone manufacturing, Foxconn Technology Group, took on a joint venture with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. While this seems to be a smart move, Apple might have to consider few other established automakers that can resolve engineering issues at a manufacturing level.

With the five major contenders that include the likes of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, Volvo with its Chinese parent Geely Automobile Holdings, VW, General Motors, etc., teaming up with an established player would turn out to be a great option.

Given the fact that each of the aforementioned brands has developed electric vehicle platforms, Apple wouldn’t find it difficult to team up. Besides, brands like VW and GM have already teamed up with Ford and Honda respectively.

With the “Apple Car”, the company would be targeting a different price bracket, that can prove to be risky. While Apple is known for its high-end software and design, it would have to change its outlook completely towards its pricing strategy for its luxury car.

While it seems like Apple may have to resolve all these challenges, one simply cannot forget the fact that the company is where it is today because of its impeccable technology. We can only hope to see the same unmatched technology in its luxury car.

A Dynamic Entrepreneur Who’s Spurring Innovation in the Healthcare Industry Pankaj Kumar Akshay as President & CEO of I-Conicsolutions LLC

B

eing a country of over a billion people, India has one of the most expansive healthcare networks in the world. The Indian healthcare market is worth USD 100 billion and is expected to reach USD 372 billion by 2022.

Despite its great evaluation, however, there are some glaring deficiencies in the industry – ones that’ve stymied much of its growth efforts. Hospitals are in dire need of effective revenue cycle management and medical billing revenue systems.

They’re facing an imminent ‘operational discord’, as a result of which their efficiency is being compromised. While many entrepreneurs have sought to reform this dilemma, only a few have been particularly effective at doing so. This article covers the story of one such entrepreneur- Pankaj Kumar Akshay, President and CEO of I-Conicsolutions LLC. Pankaj Kumar Akshay is a first-generation entrepreneur who has over 15 years of experience working in the healthcare industry. His brand, I-Conicsolutions LLC, offers end-toend as well as standalone medical billing services to multiple US Healthcare providers. Pankaj aims to revolutionize the healthcare sector by highly optimizing companies’ revenue/ billing processes. Through this, he envisions multifaceted growth across different domains in healthcare.

Let’s take a deeper look at the various elements that’ve shaped Pankaj’s story, including his inception idea, driving ideals, and successes.

The Inspiration That Drives Pankaj’s Brand

The healthcare sector in India is undergoing a tremendous technological metamorphosis. There are new avenues for technological advancement being created each day. Pankaj, being a visionary at heart, foresaw the immense growth that was possible through such avenues. He thus founded his brand with a vision to provide cost-effective, technologically advanced services to clients. Pankaj has been ardently ensuring that his brand meets premium quality standards when serving clients. Furthermore, he has leveraged multifarious ideas and skills that he garnered during his 15 year career in the healthcare industry. Having worked with multiple companies during this period, Pankaj, for some reason, was unable to use his skills for the betterment of clients. He fulfilled a lot of this latent potential through his brand, I-Conicsolutions.

He has been able to create a desired environment where clients consider him as a co-sourced business, not an out-sourced one. Moreover, he has created a platform where his colleagues feel like partners, and not merely employees. I-Conicsolutions has inspired a lot of other brands in the industry to follow suit and ensure high quality and work-life standards.

I-Conicsolutions’ Value-Driven Approach

A pioneer in its field, I-Conicsolutions LLC strives to make Revenue Cycle Management and Medical Billing Revenue System for clients as effortless and effective as possible. Pankaj and his team firmly believe in providing value-based solutions with confidence in resourceful

investment practices. They deploy an array of innovative methods to ensure competent management, so that they can handle any number of deliverables and guarantee complete ease to clients.

Most companies involved in medical revenue system outsourcing fail to handle the mounting pressure of industrial demands.

I-Conicsolutions, however, makes sure that its staff as well as backend team are constantly updated. This helps them provide clients not only the latest but also the most seamless services.

Keeping Pace With Changing Market Trends

As a small business owner, Pankaj keeps a constant eye on the market to identify and utilize new opportunities. Here are a few ways in which his brand stays abreast with the market trends: • • • • • • •

b) work that’s important but not urgent, and c) work that’s urgent but not important.

Segregated Working Hours: Involves a segregated set of working hours that’re religiously followed.

Finance Management: Covers some time for managing personal finances.

Home Workspace: Entails a contrived workspace at home to make work interesting.

Thoughts on Today’s CEOs

According to Pankaj, entrepreneurship involves a number of core skills and traits that’re absolutely essential for business success.

This is especially true in the modern business environment, where disruption has comprehensively changed and continues to change the way things are done on a practical basis. CEOs, therefore, should stay updated on trends and think and act like an entrepreneur. This will help them perform better in present as well as future challenges.

Touching upon the subject of corporate competition, Pankaj says that it isn’t just limited to CEOs. Whether it’s a CEO or a regular executive, both would face cut-throat competition irrespective of their rank in an organization. He goes on to say that things are a bit more complex with a CEO, as he has to also compete with himself.

He’s in a game of constant self-improvement; a laid-back attitude just won’t work.

Social Media: Keeps the team updated on trends through social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

SEO: Enables the team to find articles that cover changing market trends.

Magazines: Keeps them in loop with developments in the industry.

Networking: Helps connect with other professionals in the field.

In addition to the above, Pankaj also gives great importance to R & D initiatives. He continually works towards optimizing processes to reduce costs while maximizing operational efficiency.

According to him, a relentless focus on R & D is paramount for a brand survival in today’s competitive market.

Significant Milestones and Future Plans

In a relatively short span of time, Pankaj has achieved some significant numbers with I-Conicsolutions. His brand has shown a steady and upward trajectory when it comes to financial growth.

In the very first year of the brand, it achieved a staggering growth of 600%. In the second year, it achieved 450% more growth, and this was during the time of the pandemic. I-Conicsolutions is also an ISO Certified Company, which further bolsters its achievement profile.

Speaking of the future plans for the company, Pankaj shares that he will continuously improve client satisfaction by providing them better and state-of-the-art services. He aspires to globally plump for the healthcare organization and make a difference in the industry.

How Pankaj Ensures Employee Satisfaction

Happy employees are more creative and productive – it’s a known fact. They’re also less likely to quit. Pankaj and his team acknowledge this and hence, they’ve adopted certain ideals for employee satisfaction. These are: • Prioritizing work-life balance.

• Making employees a part of the bigger picture.

• Ensuring transparency with the employees.

• Encouraging communication in common areas.

• Creating a career pathway for the individual employee.

• Promoting a positive work environment.

• Recognizing and rewarding employees frequently.

• Offering benefits beyond their basis.

The above measures have helped I-Conicsolutions maintain a high overall employee satisfaction level. They’ve also fostered a strong sense of congeniality and cooperativeness among the employees.

I-Conicsolutions’ CSR Activities

On the CSR Front, Pankaj’s brand has been supporting a green initiative in the organization itself, which entails the planting of few trees in nearby areas. Recently, it has also tackled the COVID-19 situation by sponsoring a local community to spread awareness and distribute in tribal areas. There are many other projects in pipeline as well, which the brand will execute soon.

Striking a Work-Life Balance

Getting real on the lopsided entrepreneurship journey, Pankaj admits that he finds it difficult to strike a work-life balance. He feels that it’s even more difficult to continually maintain it. Here are some strategies that he uses to achieve the same: • Leveraging Strengths: Entails playing astutely with his strengths and grasping new brawns inside him.

• Time Prioritization: Involves the dividing of time into three fronts: a) work that’s urgent and important,

A Message To Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Encouraging young entrepreneurs to relentlessly follow their dreams, Pankaj says that one should have the courage to a live a unique life. Here are some nuggets of wisdom from him: “If you give up on your dreams, you’ll never live the unique life you wanted to live. My message to upcoming entrepreneurs is that if you want to improve your organization, improve yourself first. The organization then gets pulled up with you automatically.”

Greenfuel Energy Solutions: Akshay Kashyap’s Vision for a Greener Indian Automotive Industry

By Yash Annand | Prime Insights

A mammoth in the fuel sector, the CNG market in India is estimated to produce a revenue of nearly USD 8.68 million units by the year 2026. As more and more cities in India are opting for cleaner fuel, the demand for CNG in the automotive market is increasing ceaselessly. Owing to this growth, some environmentally conscious entrepreneurs have come forth with ingenious CNG products for the market.

Akshay Kashyap, Founder & Managing Director of Greenfuel Energy Solutions, is one such entrepreneur who has successfully met the demands of the market. His company is an eminent CNG products manufacturer/ Alternative Gas Fuel System Solutions provider that has consistently innovated amid these times.

Akshay is driven by the goal of metamorphosing the Indian renewable energy scene. He envisions a greener automotive sector that emphasizes sustainability and innovation.

From brand versatility to personal triumphs, given below are the various elements that’ve shaped Akshay’s story.

They serve as a fuel of inspiration for new entrepreneurs who want to make it big in their industry.

Akshay Kashyap Founder & Managing Director Greenfuel Energy Solutions, Manesar, Haryana

32

An Overview of Akshay’s Company Greenfuel Energy Solutions is a leading System Solutions provider for Alternative Gas Fuel Systems in the Indian automotive industry. The company caters to the automotive CNG markets of the country. With the company, Akshay seeks to transform the market by providing clean mobility through cleaner fuel options.

The company has a diverse service portfolio that encompasses numerous automotive solutions. In addition to CNG products, it offers: • E-mobility supportive product solutions like LithiumIon batteries • Solutions for Hydrogen Vehicles & LNG Vehicles • Automotive Accessories • Engineering & Design services • Manufacturing facilities Greenfuel’s multifarious services have helped it stay ahead of the curve in automotive optimization. It has been a frontrunner in consistently introducing new technology to the market.

Views on Employee Satisfaction Akshay duly stands by Richard Branson’s famous quote that says, “Keep your employees happy and they will take care of the rest.”

For him, treating employees with the utmost respect and dignity is an essential aspect for any CEO. He believes that employees are more like a family who make the company what it is. For this very reason, he likes to treat them as his own family members.

“I have always believed in the aforementioned quote. Employee wellbeing, therefore, comes before anything else in our organization,” he affirms.

Greenfuel’s Notable Milestones & CSR Activities Having been in the industry for more than a decade now, Greenfuel has hit numerous significant milestones. Akshay’s first and fondest achievement, however, was his brand claiming the order of the Tata Marco Polo Low Floor buses from Delhi Government.

The company had also been selected as the key supplier to Maruti Suzuki in 2010. Since then, it has supplied 8,00,000+ products without a single case of product failure/ warranty return.

At present, the company has completed over 1.5 billion kilometers in the field, without a single product malfunction.

In addition to its environment restoration efforts, the company engages in other CSR activities. The company’s first priority is to try and help those closest to it, i.e., the employees and family.

Additionally, it contributes towards initiatives for the education of children and the ones for helping Geriatric care patients.

Greenfuel’s Inception Story Greenfuel Energy Solutions was established back in 2006 by Akshay Kashyap. During those days, there were primarily buses that were made by OEMs and they had problems with their fuel systems. I had worked with a company in the USA for 3 years, where I got great exposure to vehicles using CNG systems across the world and was also involved in preparing the safety standards of these components,” he recollects.

Having always been passionate about automobiles and clean mobility, he intensively studied the automotive market. He realized that there was a significant gap in the industry. There was a dire need for international-grade products at a feasible price. To fill this gap, he came up with the idea of Greenfuel Energy Solutions.

For Akshay, the two companies that truly transformed Greenfuel’s journey were Tata Motors and Maruti Suzuki.

While Tata Motors gave the company its first break, Maruti Suzuki taught them the importance of quality of culture.

Vision for the Future Being a rapidly growing company, Greenfuel is gearing up for some big changes. For starters, the company has aggressive expansion plans in both Gas Fuels and Electric Mobility.

Secondly, it will be focusing on innovative solutions for the Indian automotive market.

The brand is also projecting to gain 20% revenue from the global markets by 2025.

Akshay on Entrepreneurial Struggles & Work-Life Balance Like every other entrepreneur, Akshay too had to face many challenges along the way. “I would say my struggle is the same as anyone else’s with the difference of ensuring a better quality of life to all our family of employees who work at Greenfuel,” he says.

Akshay feels that this added pressure was very beneficial, as it always pushed him to grow and enhance his employees’ quality of life.

As far as work-life balance is concerned, he indulges in a daily exercise regime to ward off the stress. “There are no excuses to find the time. I always believe that even the most successful person only has 24Hrs in a day to make a difference. So the important thing is to show up every day and remain focused and give your best at work or your personal time,” he adds.

A Message for Aspiring Entrepreneurs Having been through the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, Akshay very well knows the key ingredients for business success. He shares them in this message for our readers: “There is a philosophy in Vedanta that I would like to quote. It’s called the 3C’s of success. What it means is to succeed is to keep the following 3C’s in Mind: Consistency – ensure that your actions are aligned with your thoughts; Concentration – Focus when you are doing something and don’t let your mind wander; Collaboration – ‘We before I’, all great things ever have happened because of teamwork. Align the team with your actions.”

The dedicated team of 300+ experts at Oasis work round-the-clock to provide competent solutions to clients. They constantly evolve their processes through regular research and publications on fertility treatments.

Oasis’ Inception & Success Story

Oasis Fertility was founded in 2009, after the founders of the company, Mr. Kiran Gadela, and Dr. Durga G Rao saw the prominent issue of infertility in the country and the lack of reproductive medicine options. This encouraged them to establish Oasis.

Co-Founder and MD | Oasis Fertility |

he reproductive health of modern-day Indians is on a steady and steep decline. According to recent studies, a staggering 10-15 percent of married couples in India face the problem of infertility. Furthermore, only three million out of the 30 million infertile couples in the country are looking for plausible treatments.

Oasis Fertility is a chain of advanced Fertility Clinics that aims to resolve this reproductive health crisis. With class 10,000 rated embryology lab facilities, the brand offers personalized treatment and care for couples at every level of their conception journey. The brand has successfully treated thousands of men and women thus far. It is also regarded as a pioneer in the field of reproductive medicine in India.

Let’s take a deeper look at the various elements that have shaped Oasis’ success – its service portfolio, initial struggles, and so on.

“We saw a clear need for an institutionalized set-up offering all the advanced fertility treatments under one roof, and we were one of the first in the country to do so,” says Mr. Kiran Gadela.

With Oasis, the founders wanted to offer a harmonized space for couples seeking fertility treatments.

The founders also came up with Oasis School for Human Embryology and Reproductive Medicine as a means to foster scientific and medical talent.

“We had established Oasis School for Human Embryology and Reproductive Medicine to train Clinicians and Embryologists in Human Embryology and Reproductive Medicine,” says Dr Durga G

Rao, Co-Founder and Medical Director at Oasis Fertility.

The institute offers a plethora of training programs and modules in the field of Reproductive Medicine. It also trains over 100 post-graduate doctors and embryologists annually.

Having no prior experience in healthcare, Kiran found it challenging to find his ground as a first-generation entrepreneur.

“A lot of learning happened with many hurdles and mistakes along the way.

We have always been open, agile, and adapted quickly to the challenges that came our way” he adds.

Over the years Kiran has steered the organization towards ethical and statistical excellence. He, along with his Co-Founder, infused ethical values and professionalism into the brand. He has been responsible for getting the backing of a renowned life sciences private equity institution and created the platform for Oasis Fertility to become one of the leading single-specialty players in the country.

Today, Oasis Fertility has spread its centres over big cities like Hyderabad (with centres in Banjara Hills, Dilsukhnagar, Gachibowli, Secunderabad, Miyapur, and Kompally), Warangal, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Guntur, Chennai, Ranchi, Vadodara, Pune, and Bengaluru.

Nutrition And Fitness More Connected Than You Think See how deeply nutrition impacts our well-being.

T

take action against bacteria and viruses when you choose foods that provide a steady stream of key nutrients. This, in turn, gauges your fitness level. On the other hand, a poor diet can cause various illnesses that can prevent you from adhering to your workout routine.

oday, physical appearance and abilities, emotional well-being and objective measurement are some of the many contexts we’ve associated with fitness. Considered together, we use them to paint a picture of one’s personal health.

But no matter how you look at it, being fit isn’t something you can achieve and check off your list. On the contrary, following a health regimen is a lifelong journey where one can always improve and maximize results. And what better way to do that than by understanding nutrition and its importance?

Role of nutrition in physical fitness

One of the most commonly asked questions thrown around fitness is “What percentage of my fitness goals will be a result of working out, and what percentage will be a result of eating right?” And the answer is always either a 60-20 or 70-30 ratio, or the vaguer “both are 100% important”. Hmm!

Impact of nutrition on the body

‘You can’t out-exercise a bad diet’ - We’ve all heard this phrase; it’s the bottom line when it comes to having a healthy body.

Good nutritional habits have a far greater impact on body composition than any other component. It’s only when a combination of exercise and healthy food are implemented that successful physical transformation happens. Nutrition preserves health, increases physical performance, builds muscle mass, boosts power and reduces your body’s recovery time.

Let’s take quantitative relations out of the equation for a second and apply some logic to exercise and nutrition. The average joe may perform 3-4 weight training sessions and 3-4 cardio workouts per week. This gives 6-8 opportunities to make a positive change in your body through exercise. That same person eats 3-4 healthy meals per day. If aware of the value of meal spacing, he or she may eat 5 to 6 times per day. That means there are around 21-35 chances per week to directly and positively impact fat burning and muscle building goals through nutrition.

Warding off illnesses

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” - Hippocrates.

Though centuries old, the quote above acknowledges the importance of healthy eating and how nutrients in various foods have healing properties. The more fit you are, the more dedicatedly you can follow your fitness regime. What you eat plays a big role in how well your body can wage war against invading pathogens. Your immune system is best prepared to

Nutrition boosts mental wellness

The benefits of monitoring your nutrition go way beyond your physical well-being. It is a key factor in preventing age-related decline in cognition and improving overall neuropsychological function. The increased synthesis of neurotrophic factors in the 38

body and the resulting neurogenesis in various brain structures is mainly responsible for these effects. Proper nourishment also has antidepressant effects and has been found to serve as both a means to prevent and treat addictions. Overall, the right nutritional intake makes one feel more energetic throughout the day, sleep better at night, have a sharp memory and feel more relaxed and positive about oneself - which is the definition of mental fitness.

energy reserves between sets. What’s more, the body tries to rebuild its glucose stores and regrow those muscle proteins post workout. Consuming the right nutrients soon after exercising can help your body ‘heal’ faster.

In conclusion

The term ‘fitness’ holds different interpretations for different people. For the unhealthy, a wide range of workouts is crucial for leading a happy, disease-free life. For the average enthusiast, running, walking, or swimming are ways to keep in shape.

For the fitness freaks, hitting the gym four to five times a week is more than just a hobby; it’s a religion. While for any sportsperson, a hard-core exercise regimen that pushes them to their absolute limits is THE WAY to achieve career success.

Timing of your pre and post-workout meal is key

Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a fitness veteran, fueling your body with the right nutrients before exercise gives you the energy you need to perform better. Eating before and after exercise has been the subject of much research and debate in recent decades. Considerable debate surrounds the timing, types of meals & supplements and maximizing dietary response to training. But almost all studies agree that pre-workout nutrition is vital in providing the substrates necessary to fuel a workout, repair damaged tissues, and replenish the body’s

But no matter what category you might belong to, in the end, nutrition can help you maintain a healthy fitness regimen.

These two aspects of your life are more connected than you think!

7 uncomplicated ways to lose belly fat, based on science

BY Trishani Sarkar | Prime Insights

Introduction Obesity is one of the most complex issues, which is facing the world today. The United States is supposed to be the most obese nation in the world today. It is estimated, that around seventy million people are chronically obese in the country out of a total population of around 350 million. Both men and women are equally obese, which shows, that this disease has spared no one. Overall, the statistic is shocking, which states that forty percent of the American population is obese.

One of the most worrying aspects of obesity is the presence of belly fat. There is a major type of obesity, known as visceral fat, which is a major risk factor. This fat acts as a catalyst for heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, respectively. Doctors and scientists, often use Body Mass Index( BMI ), for classifying weight and predicting metabolic disease risk. Strangely, it has been found, that many thin individuals often have an excess belly. Now, let us list out the simplest and the most popular ways, by which you can lose belly fat, which are given below.

1)

You should consume lots of soluble fiber

All physicians and doctors, state that you must take lots of soluble fiber. This absorbs water and makes a gel, that slows down the speed of the food, as it goes through the digestive system. The reason, being that you feel full, and you eat naturally. The number of calories, which you acquire from your food, is also much lower. There are lots of foods, which are an excellent source of soluble fiber, which are mentioned below.

• • • • • •

Shirataki noodles.

Flax seeds.

Avocados Brussels sprouts Blackberries Legumes

42

2)

Avoid consuming excess alcohol

While scientific studies have proved, that a small amount of alcohol is truly beneficial, excess alcohol consumption is detrimental to your health. Your belly fat will greatly increase, if you drink too much, since, lots of fat is accumulated around the waist. You should seriously limit the amount of alcohol, which you consume, to remove belly fat.

3)

Never consume food that contains trans fats.

In countries like India, consumption of trans fats is a serious issue and a major cause of obesity and belly fat.

Trans fats are made by pumping hydrogen into unsaturated fats, like ghee and soyabean oil. The trans fats are found in margarine, spread, and are also added to packaged foods, and lots of food producers are not using them now. These fats are also linked to heart disease, inflammation, gain in fat in the abdomen in animal studies and also in observations, and insulin resistance. If you purchase any food item, then you will often find that it is mentioned as partially hydrogenated fats.

4)

You must consume a high protein diet

This is one of the most important ways, by which you can reduce belly fat. For good weight management, protein is a very important nutrient. Once, you take lots of proteins, then the fullness hormone pyy is released, which reduces appetite and leads to fullness. Having lots of proteins increases your metabolic rate and assists you to retain your muscle mass while experiencing loss of weight. Always, ensure that you always take lots of proteins, in every meal, such as • • • • • •

5)

Fish.

Eggs.

Meat.

Beans.

Dairy.

White protein.

Never consume foods having lots of sugar

Sugary foods are one of the primary culprits, which leads to a lot of belly fat. The reason being, that sugar contains fructose, which is the principal factor behind many chronic diseases, such as obesity, heart disease, fatty liver disease, and Type 2 diabetes respectively.

One of the most common misconceptions is that it is only refined sugar, which leads to fat in the belly. Even natural sweeteners such as honey should be consumed in fewer quantities.

6)

Reduce your intake of carbohydrates

It is perhaps a very commonly known fact, that carbohydrates increase your belly fat. If you consume food, which has less than fifty grams of carbohydrates, then it will lead to fat loss, in excess weight, people with type 2 diabetes.

7)

Perform aerobic exercise

For reducing belly fat, one very effective way, is to perform aerobic exercise regularly. This leads to the burning of calories and enhancing your health.
