In this video, the Dr. Aruna S Malipeddi, Senior Consultant Rheumatology, Arete Hospitals explains why a balanced diet is far more important than following extreme food trends. Protein, fats, minerals, fiber, and other nutrients all need to be taken in the right proportion, based on an individual’s body weight, health condition, and medical needs. While some patients may require higher protein intake due to low blood protein levels or specific medical conditions, consuming a very high-protein diet without medical advice can be harmful. The key message is simple balance and personalization are essential. The doctor highlights: Why no single nutrient should be overdone without medical reason How protein needs vary from person to person Why diet plans should be decided by a doctor or nutrition expert The importance of timing, quantity, and overall balance in meals This video is helpful for anyone following high-protein diets, weight-loss plans, or looking to improve overall health safely.
