A healthy outside starts from the inside this can be achieved with a few simple dos and donts. But it must be noted that no single food can help build immunity. One needs to consume desired amount of all nutrients, water and eat a variety of foods within each food group to ensure adequate intake of important nutrients, recommends Dr Anita Jatana, chief dietician, Indraprastha Apollo Hospital and convenor, Indian Dietetics Association Delhi.

* Proteins are one of the most critical nutrients that support our immune system. Indians usually tend to consume lesser amount of proteins since many of us are vegetarians. So simple ways of including proteins is pulses, beans, legumes, milk and milk products, nuts and oil seeds, apart from eggs and non-vegetarian foods. Vitamin C is not only a physiological antioxidant but also helps to regenerate other antioxidants within the body. Include vitamin C rich foods like amla, guava, oranges, lemon, tomato, bell peppers and green chillies.

* Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, has several important functions. Besides being essential for bone health, it is important in improving resistance to certain diseases and even fight depression. It is found in fatty fish, eggs and fortified foods like milk, cereals etc. Getting sunlight exposure between 11am to 1 pm, for 20-30 minutes is a good way to ensure its availability.

* Zinc deficiency can impact the immune system. Natural sources of zinc are flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, black sesame seeds, whole legumes, dark chocolates and nuts.

* Vitamin A is an important antioxidant nutrient that helps the body fight against infections. All dark green leafy vegetables, papaya, pumpkin, carrots and mango are good sources.

* Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant vitamin and critical for the proper functioning of the immune system. Good sources of this vitamin are nuts like almonds, pistachio and seeds like sunflower seeds, walnuts, flaxseeds, chia and sunflower seeds.

* Iron, an important part of your blood, plays a vital role in helping the body fight infections. You can choose non-vegetarian sources such as lean meat, fish, eggs, or vegetarian sources like drumstick leaves, mint leaves, nuts to get your daily dose of iron. To bust a common myth, beetroot and apples are not good sources of iron as it is commonly believed, points out Dr Jatana.

* Other important micronutrients that can impact our immune system are selenium, B6, B12, folate and magnesium. Indians are blessed to have herbs and condiments right in their kitchen and turmeric, tulsi, clove, garlic, ginger and cinnamon can play an important role in immunity building.

* Studies have shown that excess intake of foods rich in sugar, refined flour and saturated fats such as sweetened beverages, high fat baked foods, fried foods, alcohol has shown to have harmful impact on the immune system and hence should be avoided or consumed in moderation.

* Along with balanced diet rich in above mentioned macro and micronutrients, it is also important to have a good sleep pattern, incorporate exercise in the daily routine and manage stress to stay active and healthy.

Always remember your health is in your hands, so plan your diet and lifestyle in such a way that supports your body in building immunity.

Immunity building: Ensure your diet is full of these essential nutrients - The Indian Express

Questions have been raised over whether people with type 2 diabetes should shield during the pandemic, as the public are advised to think about their diet to minimise the risks of the condition.

After the NHS found 26% of patients who have died in hospitals in England after contracting coronavirus had diabetes, the Government was asked whether people with the condition should be staying at home and shielding.

Deputy chief medical officer Jenny Harries (PA)

Speaking on the matter at the daily Downing Street briefing on Saturday, deputy chief medical officer Dr Jenny Harries said: We are reviewing all of these different risk factors together to try and give a much more proportional representation of who might be at risk.

Type two diabetes, not type one, is one which many of us in the population can perhaps do something about to reduce our risk.

Again, a great plug from a public health doctor perhaps, to think during this pandemic about diet and exercise and what you can do to help there.

Dr Harries said that the previous data looked at individual diseases, rather than looking at other risk factors.

She said: For example, we know that individuals who are obese will have high rates of type 2 diabetes, and we also know that they may have some other underlying health conditions.

Its really important that we put all these variables together to understand risk.

Some groups of clinically extremely vulnerable people have been instructed to stay in their homes to protect themselves from the virus, initially for a period of 12 weeks.

Some of the people on the Governments shielding list include those who have had organ transplants, people with specific cancers and those with severe respiratory conditions.

Published on Thursday, figures from NHS England show that of the 22,332 patients who have died in Englands hospitals since March 31, when pre-existing conditions began to be recorded, some 5,873 (26%) had diabetes.

It was the first time NHS England included a breakdown of deaths by pre-existing conditions in its statistics.

Its Sunday morning at 11 a.m. You roll out of bed and remember the dining halls are still serving brunch because its the weekend. You meet up with your hallmates and make the trek across campus to E-Hall for brunch. Standing in line to swipe your JACard from the dining services workers, you can smell the bacon sizzling and make-your-own waffles cooking.

JMU prides itself on its stellar food. According to The Princeton Review, JMUs campus food is rated No. 8 in the country. With this in mind, eating on campus can be overwhelming because of the great variety to choose from.

Students new to all you care to eat dining environments tend to go overboard or get overwhelmed with their options, registered dietician Gillian Kelly said. True Balance provides a complete meal, similar to what they may be used to eating at home, that consists of a protein, starch and vegetable.

Below includes some tips for eating healthy on campus, along with how to go about dietary restrictions and food allergies.

Many first-year students may hear about the freshman 15 before coming to college, they may be apprehensive about campus food options. Every location has labels on food options indicating whether its gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan or contains possible allergens.

Kelly suggests trying the True Balance station in all-you-can-eat dining halls as a way to go about maintaining healthy food choices, since it provides a complete meal of protein, starch and vegetable. However, this doesnt mean you cant indulge in grilled cheese Thursdays, buffalo mash or peanut butter pie. These are some of JMUs iconic meals you should take advantage of during your time on campus.

Alex Balbontin, a member of the class of 2020, also gave some tips from her experience eating on campus and maintaining a healthy diet. She said students should be open-minded to eating new food and eating colorfully is a good way to start.

Focus on balance and moderation, Balbontin said. You can enjoy pizza but keep in mind how often you are having unhealthier options and try to balance them out with leaner meats, vegetarian sources of protein [like beans and tofu] and eat lots of fruits and veg.

Some of Baltontins favorite places to eat healthy on campus include D-Hall, specifically the allergy-free section and salad bar, quinoa bowls from Bistro 1908 and salad or grain bowls from the Fueled food truck.

Even with the abundance of food on campus, it can be nerve-wracking for those with dietary restrictions or food allergies. Luckily, JMU is inclusive with dietary restrictions.

Theres usually at least one vegan item available at every dining location on campus. From vegan cheese on pizza at Bistro 1908, to barbeque jackfruit in Market 64 and veggie burgers at Festivals food court, there are many options for vegans on campus. Vegans shouldnt have to worry about getting enough to eat. Becca Sabean, founder of JMUs food for thought club, said her favorite place to eat on campus is D-Hall because of the many vegan options and new food to try.

Dining Services is honestly very willing to work with individual diets and they do great work to be accommodating, Sabean said.

Sabean suggested taking your time and asking questions when getting food on campus. The Dining Services employees are more than willing to help and make sure youre eating according to your diet.

Eating as a vegetarian on campus is also doable. While meat has a major presence in dining locations on campus, its easy to avoid by requesting it off of a dish. Also, when it comes to burgers, there are veggie burger options available. At D-Hall, the veggie burgers are available upon request.

At Bistro 1908, any burger can be substituted with the Beyond Meat veggie burger. The best vegetarian food on campus is the Beyond burger at SSC (its 100 times better than the garden burgers, Shay Ellis said. Ellis cautioned vegetarians to double-check the ingredients before ordering food, especially the soups served at D-Hall.

Theres a room in D-Hall called The Worry Free Zone where those with food allergies can request access to get food thats free from any trace of common allergens. Kelly said the options in this room include gluten free bread, bagels, waffles, buns, snack bars, canned soups, desserts and frozen entrees.

The room contains prepackaged food items with the goal of providing students with these allergens an extra sense of security as well as additional food options when dining with us, Kelly said.

Kelly also suggests taking advantage of the True Balance station as all meals prepared there dont use seven of the top eight allergens.

Brenna Gannon, a student in JMUs class of 2022, has a tree nut allergy. She said many places are helpful in noting her allergen on containers and signs.

My favorite place to eat on campus is Cheese Please at Festival because of how careful they are with my allergies--theyll change their gloves and change the knife they use to cut the sandwiches to make sure my allergen stays away from my food, Gannon said.

Gluten free bread is available upon request at every dining location. Also, as Kelly said, those with gluten intolerances are eligible to request access to The Worry Free Zone to take food thats not been cross-contaminated with gluten.

Rachel Kim, a rising sophomore, has a gluten intolerance. She said that Market 64 has great gluten free sandwiches on the go, but Bistro 1908 is her favorite because of the variety of options.

Always ask if they have gluten free options anywhere you are, and even if it might take a little longer for the food to come out, its super worth it, Kim said.

Guide to food on campus: dietary restrictions and allergies - The Breeze

Photos show the dramatic improvement in Helen Armstrong's health after adopting a plant-based diet (Photo: Supplied to Plant Based News. Do not use without permission)

When 76-year old Helen Armstrongs daughter moved in with her during the coronavirus lockdown, neither of them could have known the impact it would have on her life.

Armstrong, who lives in Doncaster, has suffered with many long-term chronic conditions - diabetes, arthritis, asthma, high blood pressure, chronic constipation, and bipolar disorder - and was virtually bedbound when the order came for the vulnerable to be shielded.

Just before lockdown, her daughter, 49-year-old Belinda White, was called to her mothers house. Paramedics had already visited, and when White arrived,Armstrongwas hanging off her chair, unresponsive.

Together with her carers, White got her mother back into bed but by that evening, it was clear she needed more help. White called the paramedics back. They feared Armstrong may have sepsis or coronavirus and wanted to admit her but taking her to hospital was risky.

In the end, a doctor prescribed antibiotics and saidArmstrongcould stay at home so long as White stayed with her, and so long as she was brought in if her condition worsened.

"Those first few days were harrowing," White said in a statement sent to Plant Based News. "Her carers were trying to help me lift her upright as the tablets wouldnt go down while she was in bed. Mum was in agony being moved to be cleaned. Her eyes were sunken and her lips and fingers looked blue."

White made the choice to cancel the carers to remove the risk of them bringing the virus into Armstrong's home, and to isolate alone with her mum.

White called the adult social care team who she described as 'angels' adding: "They provided an electric bed, a wheelchair which was also a commode and could be used in the shower, and a turning plate."

And that is how the mother and daughter started their quarantine together at the end of March.

Belinda White made her mothersmoothies, fruits, salads, steamed veggies, roasted veggies, whole grains, plant-based bacon, noodles and wholegrain rice (Photo: Adobe. Do not use without permission)

White is a nutritionist and yoga teacher, and she put into practice all she knew from her own work and studies. At first,Armstrongdidnt want to eat at all, and so White kept her hydrated until she was ready for food.

"When she did start to eat she only wanted melon," saidWhite. "I gave her bowls full of it, and soon she began to manage smoothies, too. I packed them with delicious fruits and greens. She wanted fruit like it was a drug!"

From there,Whiteoffered her smoothies, fruits, salads, steamed veggies, roasted veggies, whole grains, plant-based bacon, noodles and wholegrain rice. In short, she fed her mum a vegan whole food diet.

This is a far cry from whatArmstronghad previously eaten - a typical diet of microwave meals, bacon sandwiches, fish and chips, roast meat dinners, cakes and convenience foods. Things started to change.

Whitebought a blood pressure monitor and a blood glucose monitor and kept track of her mum's metrics. She saw her mum starting to gain strength. After four weeks of consistent improvement,Whitehad a phone consultation with the doctor. From the readings she was able to provide, and from the improvementsArmstronghad made, he advised her thatArmstrongcould come off some of her medications.

Armstrongcontinued to regain her strength.

"She started talking about the past, and answering questions on the quiz shows we watched. It was like watching someone waking up from a coma, said White.

"She lost some weight and started to glow. She has used a Zimmer frame for years but because her strength seemed to be racing back I ordered a walking stick, and the miracle happened - she ditched the frame and began to stand up straight again."

The photos show the stark improvement Helen has made in just six weeks, from a pale, bedbound, elderly patient to a youthful, smiling woman with a twinkle in her eye and a lot of life yet to live.

So, what did Helen Armstrong make of the food, of ditching her old ways of eating in favor of a whole foods plant-based diet?

She told us: "All of the food I have had has been lovely. I cant tell the difference with the bacon and I dont miss bacon at all as it was tough and gristly compared to this vegan bacon. I love it with tomato and mushrooms. The green juices took some getting used to, but they are ok. The apples make them sweeter."

But the best news of all, she says: "I feel 100 percent better and I am in less pain. I sleep all night, I am sleeping better than ever. I feel brand new."

Chronically Ill Pensioner Transforms Her Health On Plant-Based Diet - Plant Based News

The food we eat and the content therein determine the status and levels of what makes up our bodies minerals, carbohydrates, fat, protein and water.

Therefore, a balanced diet and good nutrition are not only important as a source of energy for our active lives, but are also critical for our defence against diseases.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a healthy diet helps protect against malnutrition in all its forms, as well as noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer.

While there is no specific drug or vaccine for the Covid-19 infection and no food can by itself prevent the infection, a nutritious and healthy diet rich in protective foods can boost ones immunity and capacity to fight the infection.

Poor diets are associated with poor health

Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fibre and water are the main groups of nutrients, which together but in variable amounts, make up a balanced diet.

Daily consumption of recommended portions of each of the seven nutrient groups is important for good health.

Therefore, deficiencies, excesses and imbalances in any of these nutrient groups result in various forms of malnutrition.

Malnutrition and poor diets are the leading cause of death and one of the top two risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) worldwide.

Theres evidence NCDs such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer, make individuals more vulnerable to infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, influenza, and pneumonia.

WHO data also suggests that patients with NCDs are 16 times more likely to be hospitalised from contracting Covid-19.

Balanced diet: What proportion of the seven nutrient categories should you eat?

Kenyas National Guidelines for Healthy Diets and Physical Activity (2017), recommends as follows:

Eat a variety of foods from different groups every day. Include whole or unprocessed starchy foods as part of mealsEat plenty of green leafy vegetables, red and yellow vegetables and fruits every day and include a variety of other vegetables and fruits.

Eat beans, peas, lentils, cowpeas, pigeon peas, soya, nuts and edible seeds regularly (at least four times a week).

Eat lean meat, fish and seafood, poultry, insects or eggs at least twice a week.

Drink fresh milk, fermented milk or yoghurt every day.

Use oil or fat in moderation in meals. Limit the amount of solid fat and use fortified oil.

If you use sugar, use it sparingly.

Use iodised salt but use it sparingly.

Drink plenty of safe water.

The food pyramid is a visual representation of the foods that should make up the basics of a healthy diet in the base and the foods that should be consumed sparingly in small amounts at the top.

The pyramid presented below is an adaptation of the nutritional recommendations about the main food groups by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations aimed at improving citizens health and prevention of NCDs through the food-based dietary guidelines.

A table (left) highlighting the important nutrients that we need in our food, their sources and health benefits and (right) the food pyramid; a visual representation of the foods that should make up the basics of a healthy diet in the base and the foods that should be consumed sparingly in small amounts at the top. TABLES | COURTESY

A healthy diet should contain proportionate amounts of the various food groups as indicated by the number of servings.

Increase servings of protective foods for better health and defence from disease infections.

Protective foods including fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds, nuts and whole grains contain substantial amounts of vitamins, minerals, micronutrients and other beneficial phytochemicals.

Examples of protective foods, constituents and health benefits are shown in the table on the right.

As shown in the table, protective foods can boost immune function and lower NCD risks. Therefore, adopting protective diets can significantly contribute to lower incidence, morbidity and mortality of Covid-19 and similar infectious diseases.

These foods, however, are generally under-consumed globally and this has a significant negative impact on global health.

According to Kenyas Ministry of Health, only 2.5 million Kenyans (6 per cent), consume the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables.

Low consumption of the two has been aggravated under Covid-19 due to various reasons including less physical and economic access to these food commodities.

The WHO recommended daily intake is at least 400g, or five portions (80g each) of diverse fruits and vegetables.

There is need to devise strategies at the global, national and household levels to increase use of the recommended amount of fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains and other nutritious foods.

Healthy diets that are rich in vitamins, minerals, fibre and other health-promoting phytochemicals can boost immunity and the capacity to fight infectious agents including Covid-19.

Besides increasing our consumption of protective foods, we must drink clean water regularly and stay well-hydrated.

Drinking ample amounts of water and fluids (at least eight glasses a day for adults) also helps our immune system.

The A-Z of a nutritious diet during Covid-19 pandemic - Daily Nation

High blood pressure quietly activates a mechanism in your body that could eventually lead to a heart attack. It does this by gradually increasing the pressure of blood flowing through your arteries. Your arteries respond by becoming narrower and harder. This retraction means less blood and oxygen flows to your heart.

Eventually, the heart becomes starved of blood and oxygen - this can trigger a heart attack.

Luckily, this process takes place over a prolonged period of time so you have plenty of opportunity to reverse high blood pressure.

Even modest reductions in blood pressure can prevent this process so it is important to take steps to lower your reading.

Eating a healthy, balanced diet offers the surest way to lower high blood pressure and its associated risks.

Research investigating the properties of different foods have found some items trump others for their protective benefits.

One natural substance that has been singled out for its blood pressure-lowering benefits is honey.

Studies in both rats and humans have shown modest reductions in blood pressure from consuming honey.

The systolic pressure (higher number) is the force at which your heart pumps blood around your body.

According to Blood Pressure UK, it indicates your likelihood of having a heart attack.

Researchers attribute the benefits of honey to its antioxidant compounds which have been linked to lower blood pressure.

Antioxidants are compounds that are thought to play a role in protecting against heart disease.

Bolstering the link, honey has been shown to lower levels of LDL cholesterol, a fatty substance found in your blood that also increases your risk of heart complications.

It has also been shown to increase HDL levels, which counter the harmful effects of LDL cholesterol.

For example, one study in 55 patients compared honey to table sugar and found that honey caused a 5.8 percent reduction in LDL and a 3.3 percent increase in HDL cholesterol.

It also led to modest weight loss of 1.3 percent.

This is significant because carrying excess weight raises your blood pressure.

The NHS explains: "Being overweight forces your heart to work harder to pump blood around your body, which can raise your blood pressure."

"Being active and taking regular exercise lowers blood pressure by keeping your heart and blood vessels in good condition," says the health site

Regular exercise can also help you lose weight, which will also help lower your blood pressure.

According to the NHS, adults should do at least 150 minutes (two hours and 30 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such as cycling or fast walking, every week.

Alex Ballard, who grew up in Bishop's Stortford and works as a specialist community dietitian for the NHS in West Essex, writes a fortnightly column, Diet Talk, in the Stortford Indie about taking small steps towards a healthier lifestyle...

Fish has always played a large role in British food history, with classics including prawn cocktail, sardines on toast and, the public's favourite, fish and chips. Even the English-born Worcestershire sauce uses anchovies for a punchy component.

Alongside the versatile flavours, contrasting textures and rich colours, fish provides us with nourishing dietary sources of protein, calcium, iodine, selenium and vitamin D.

Fish, and especially oily fish, is also a main supplier of omega-3. In recent years, this family of fats has been placed on a pedestal, with research showing that adequate intakes can reduce the risk of heart disease, improve inflammation, preserve memory and prevent depression.

We are therefore encouraged to consume two portions of fish per week, including one of an oily variety, such as mackerel, kippers, sardines, salmon, trout, sprats, herring, whitebait and pilchards.

Tinned fish can also provide omega-3, but just take a peek at the label first. An adult-size portion is either 140g of fresh fish (roughly the size of the palm of your hand) or one small can.

Shark, swordfish and marlin can contain concentrated sources of mercury and, consequently, should be avoided by women who are pregnant or planning a baby, and by all children under 16. All other adults, including breastfeeding women, should limit these particular species to a maximum of one portion per week.

If fish is off your menu, alternative omega-3 rich foods include nuts and seeds, rapeseed and linseed oil, soya products, green leafy vegetables and omega-3 enriched eggs, breads, yoghurts and spreads.

Despite the wealth of benefits this natural food source offers, making sensible and environmentally-friendly choices is critical for the fate of our oceans. Currently, global fish production is nearing its sustainable limit and exploitation has increased threefold since the 1970s. Here are some simple tips to help prevent stock depletion and clear consumer conscience...

Alex's local treat: Tucker's fish van in Bishop's Stortford

F.E. Tucker & Sons is a third generation business that has been up and sailing since 1956. They own the oldest mobile fish units in East Anglia and have watched the traditional market town streets of Bishop's Stortford evolve over the last 42 years.

Trevor and his sons, Andrew and Daren, are passionate about providing superior-quality seafood directly from the coast which is often weeks fresher than supermarket options.

They are based in Great Yarmouth and pride themselves on 99% of the fish they sell being sourced straight from British waters. Not only this, but they can tell you who caught the lobsters and dressed the crabs!

With the ocean as their office, this father-and-sons collaboration can help guide you towards seasonal and sustainable options every month of the year. Plaice is a good choice to plate up for your fish supper. It is versatile and can be baked with a squeeze of lemon, delicately mixed into a fish stew or stir fried alongside pak choi.

Grab yourself the catch of the day on Thursdays, Fridays or Saturdays outside Host in Stortford (ditch the plastic wrap and take a Tupperware box).

Have you noticed grabbing an extra bag of chips at the supermarket? Or eating more frozen dinners than you used to? Or even eating snacks that you havent eaten since you were a little kid?

The COVID-19 pandemic has upended nearly every facet of our daily lives, from how we dress, to how we work, to how we exercise.

Its also changing the way we eat. As a registered dietitian and nutrition researcher, Im fascinated by the types of food people are buying during this strange time.

One recent survey found that 42% of respondents indicated theyre purchasing more packaged food than they typically would and less fresh food.

Sales of frozen pizza have almost doubled. Sales of frozen appetizers and snacks think Bagel Bites are over a third, while ice cream sales have increased 36%.

According to Uber Eats, the most common food delivery order in the United States has been french fries, while the most popular beverage has been soda.

To me, these foods have one thing in common: Theyre the stuff we ate as kids.

Why might grown adults be reaching back into the pantry of their pasts? What is it about a pandemic that makes us feel like were teenagers at a sleepover?

The reasons are deeply rooted.

At its core, the purpose of food is to nourish. Of course food provides us with the necessary energy and balance of vitamins and minerals to power and fuel the body. But anyone whos reached for a pint of Ben and Jerrys after a particularly stressful day will know that nourishment is about more than nutrition.

During periods of stress, people tend to eat more and show a greater preference for higher calorie foods. The sweeter and saltier the better. Regardless of hunger, a tasty snack can feel comforting. Theres evidence to suggest that highly palatable foods, especially those high in fat and sugar, may elicit a response in the brain that is similar to the response from opioids.

Yes, a delicious slice of rich chocolate cake can be just as good as drugs.

We tend to call many of these foods comfort foods, but the definition of comfort food is a bit slippery. Food is deeply personal. The foods that comfort people depend on their cultural background, taste preference, and personal experience. We know, however, that food can induce feelings of nostalgia that transport us back to simpler times.

So perhaps its no surprise that, during a period of uncertainty that has many of us desperate for some relief and comfort, the foods of our childhood can act as a salve. For some of us, that bowl of Lucky Charms isnt just a sweet treat; its a reminder of days gone by, a time of safety and stability.

Theres nothing inherently wrong in finding temporary relief from chaos and uncertainty through food. But its probably best to view these changes in eating behavior as a temporary habit during a weird time. After all, a diet rich in macaroni and cheese and chicken nuggets doesnt exactly set our bodies up for long-term success.

As peoples lives start to regain some sense of normalcy, diet can actually be a major part of the equation. Returning to a more health-conscious diet could be part of reestablishing your previous routines. And if youve never been able to find the time to prioritize healthy eating, now could actually be a good opportunity to start laying the groundwork for habits that become the new normal.

Coronavirus diets: What's behind the urge to eat like little kids? - Waco Tribune-Herald

Adele nearly broke the internet earlier this month when she revealed her jaw-droppingtransformation photo to her fans on the occasion of her 32nd birthday. What was so remarkable was not only that the Grammy Award-winning singer had lost 100 pounds, but also that she emerged as a toned, sleek and strong looking body, with the legs of a Pilates instructor. We all collectively wondered: How did she do that?

The Beet published the exact diet called the sirtfood diet,that Adele reportedly followed to shed the 100 pounds since last year, including three green juices a day and a diet that included plenty of healthy plant-based foods like kale, Brussel sprouts, and matcha. The good news is that the sirtfood diet also allows antioxidant-rich treats like dark chocolate and red wine. For the exact diet to follow, and how to do it, click on The Beet's story here.

Now The Beet has the goods on howAdelegot that toned body, including a video that shows the star pushing it to the limit on a Pilates Reformer.Losing weight is one thing, but showing off lean, toned muscles and astrong body takes some hard work, and some sweat. In an October post on IG, Adele said, "I used to cry but now I sweat." It worked for her and it will work for you too. working out. The Beethas the secrets toAdele's success, from her former personal trainer and her Pilates instructor. Here is exactly what you need to know to tone up now. The best news? You can get it done at home.

"Getting skinny was never the goal", says Pete Geracimo, Adele's former personal trainer who moved from London to Ontario.Geracimorevealed toAccess Hollywood that Adele's body transformation was not for attention, press purposes, or album sales, it was simply for herself.

"This metamorphosis is not for album sales, publicity or to be a role model. She is doing it for herself and her son Angelo," he explained. He added weight loss can be "massively empowering: and "a truly personal thing."

Geracimo says that it is always so rewarding when he "sees his clients blossom during their fitness journeys," according toUS Magazine, and he is always theirbiggest cheerleader." He alsoexplained that the best motivation is one that comes from within and that Adele was facing hardships after her divorce, and she wanted to be healthier for herself and for her four-year son, Angelo. Geracimo saysthe singer was committed to her fitness and is "sweating" to achieve her personal health goals, which makes uscuriousas to what kinds of moves she has beenusing togetthere.

Pilates appears to be Adele's go-to workout of choice. Her pilates instructor, Camila Goodisappeared on a videoonAccess Hollywood congratulating Adele for achieving her health goals. What was most shocking was that Goodissays for a moment she didn't recognize Adele after the initial weight loss, when the star walked into the studio for class one day. (Adele joins a small group workout, which many people find more effective than one-on-one training.)

In theshort video clipAdeleis shown on the pilates reformer exercising and working hard. If you don't want to watch the entire clip you can fast forward to 2 minutes and 9 seconds to see the star putting in her reps. Pilates is a great toner for abs, legs, abs, and all-around strengthening, and this type of low-impact exercise is effective for toning up as you lose weight. Adele and others use Pilates t build lean muscle, improve posture by target core strength-- all of which lets you wear your clothes better, perfect as shorts season is upon us.Adele seems to be a big fan of Pilates but from what the media can see, at least, she only needs to hit the studio a few times a week to get these impressive results.

Camila Goodis even admits,I dont think she is a huge fan of exercise like Robbie [Williams] and Ayda [Field, his wife who are Adele's workout friends], who exercise five or six days a week,"according toThe Sun, Ayda is credited as the one who brought Adele to Pilates in the first place. She introduced the star to the workout after her divorce to help her feel better, The Sun story reports.

"One day I was attheir house [meaning the Williams'] in Los Angeles and Ayda asked me if I would train one of her best friends who was visiting," Goodis told The Sun. "So the exercise had to be very gentle. Pilates was perfect for her. She said she had done Pilates before in London, and she was very appreciative. The funny thing was I hadn't caught her name and I didn't recognize her at the time. She wasn't wearing makeup or her eyelashes and was wearing sweatpants and a loose top. After she left I mentioned to Ayda that she looked a little bit like Adele and Ayda gave me this look ... and thought it was hilarious." When Adele returned to LA she did more sessions and the weight started dropping off.

Adele'sphysical exercise program also incorporates weight training with dumbells, as you can see from Geracimo's post, whichhelps to stimulate muscle growth, increase metabolism, and burn even more calories while at rest. Perhaps what is most shocking to cardio devotes is that there is no evidence that Adele is doing much in the way of cardio. But strength training helps burn fat even after you stop working out, according to exercise research.

"Metabolism may stay elevated for longer afterweightsthan cardio," according to severalweight-loss studies published by Healthline.The research suggests that "weightlifting is better for building muscle." Another thing that we can learn from Adele is you don't need massively heavyweights to feel the burn, as the photo below posted by Geracimo indicates. As long as you work muscles to exhaustion you can get toned withsmall handhelddumbells. This is great to keep in mind now that everyone is working out at home and may not have access to weight training machines.

Pete Geracimo is now hosting free Instagram Live classes so you can literally workout like Adele for free! Sign up at his Instagram account.And get your set of hand weights delivered today. We love this set because it hasdifferent sizes and you can work up to the heavier ones.

In a press release, Pete Germacio mentioned, "It's disheartening to read the negative commentary and fatphobic accusations questioning the genuineness of her amazing weight loss." The talented celeb received harshcomments about her weight loss, whichsome criticscalled "unhealthy."Meanwhile, other fans commented with support for Adele such as "you've worked so hard to look like this and I'm so glad you've got your purpose, but I want to tell you that for me you were always a spectacular, beautiful and sexy woman."

The Beet agrees that being healthy and happy is the goal, and the only thing that really matters here is if Adele herself feelshappy and healthy.

Bottom Line: You don't have to be a world-famous superstar to transform your body or reach your personal wellbeing goals. Adele's workout regime consists of personal training sessions with Pete Germacio, which now you can do on IG Live thanks to his daily classes.

As for the Pilates classes, Goodis has a video you can try in your own living room. And someday we will all be allowed back into the workout studio, but until then floor exercises can provide plenty of core strength and toning so the key is finding the discipline to do it on your own.

Way to go, Adele, we applaud all your hard work to reach your goal. You are an inspiration.
