The health and wellness of an individual are largely dependent on the type of food that they eat or the fitness regime that they follow. Having a personal trainer and nutritionist helps a person plan their diets/ workouts in a way that all their health conditions will be factored in. There is no doubt that self-care goes a long way in promoting good health but being guided by an expert makes the journey easy.
A Personal Trainer: One’s Own Fitness Guide
Every individual’s body is different, and hence, each person needs a different workout regime. For instance, the weights that a person uses for a workout depend on their existing muscle mass and their existing fitness levels.
Using weights that are way too heavy can lead to serious consequences like muscle pulls and ligament tears. Likewise, using weights that are way less than what a person needs will not lead to any appreciable gain in muscle mass.
Just like weighing the endurance level of each person is different, and even simple exercises like running must be done under guidance. If a person has a heart condition or high blood pressure, his pressure levels can shoot up even with moderate levels of activity. Hence, a simple exercise routine, if practised without guidance, can lead to serious consequences like strokes. Hence, a person who has adequate knowledge about different workout regimes must help people with their fitness-related goals.
A Personal Nutritionist: One’s Own Food Guide
A personal nutritionist knows the specific health conditions of their clients. They prescribe diet charts that help their patients live healthy lives.
Several diet plans become fashionable, but not all diet plans can be implemented as it is. For instance, if a person is vegan, then his sources of protein or calcium will be very different from a person who eats meat, and his diet has to be different. So only when a person visits a personal nutritionist his health conditions, be it obesity, diabetes, or hypertension can, be resolved.
For instance, if an individual suffers from uric acid, he cannot consume tomatoes even though tomatoes may be a rich source of antioxidants. In such cases, the person will have to replace tomatoes with some other source of antioxidants that do not increase his uric acid levels.
Conclusion
In the twenty-first century, people are extremely conscious about their health and fitness levels. However, experimenting with different diet plans (keto, Mediterranean, intermittent fasting) or exercise routines is not a good idea when one does not have expert knowledge. It is always better to be guided by a personal trainer and nutritionist who will take their client’s specific health conditions and needs into consideration.
