India, Jan. 5 -- A balanced diet isn't about eating less-it's about the right nutrients. Lasting health comes from understanding your body and building sustainable habits. "In my 20 years of experience, I've seen Gen Z follow trends and switch constantly, causing health issues and unsustainable weight loss.

Deepika warns, 'Don't starve yourself.' Especially in colder months, focus on balanced meals that keep you full and nourished. Hydration is key. As Deepika says, 'Drink water throughout the day' to support digestion, skin health, and appetite control. Having support helps you reach your nutrition goals. As Deepika says, 'Share your goals with friends or a community' to stay encouraged and on track....
