before prescribing any diet plan i.e. by measuring their weight, height,

Sometimes to achieve desired goals and to see visible results especially,
the beginners are being misleaded due to which they end up buying those
supplements which are not essential. Eventually, excess amount of these
supplements leads to several health cases . To get quick results they go
against the natural cycle of synthesis and make use of chemical, artificial
& processed sources.
In addition to that, there is the problem of an ongoing racket of duplicate
supplements which is being constantly investigated by the Food and Drug
Authority (FDA) and the health department of India. “We came across
many cases where the individual is being exploited through various
sources and had an adverse effect on health such as renal failure, kidney
and liver damage, excess amount of calcium and protein in urine, kidney
stone etc. It is very important to confirm whether the source from which
you are being guided is well-qualified, certified and a registered authority.”
says Dr. Minal Asurlekar.
In today’s world, it is very important to get a proper guidance about each
and every aspect of life especially when it comes to health. Whether you
are a fitness freak or not, it is very important to maintain a good health
because as they all say health is wealth.
