New Year Resolutions - Week 43 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys, 

Week 43 - Sat 22 Oct 2022 - Fri 28 Oct 2022

1. Daily Walking - I saw the total amount of kilometres left to reach 1000 km so I bucked up myself post the Diwali festival and reached 25.42 kilometres this week. I was able to cross 780 km due to this effort during the course of this week. I definitely have strong willpower. 

2. Money - I am still tied up to a single paycheque kind of income at the end of every month. This way you can survive on Planet earth but can't become rich. You will have to get into the money mindset and growth mindset. I am definitely going to become rich as I have the potential to be one and I have to take off this dependency on a single source of income in the coming days. This is the area I need to focus on in 2023 for sure. I have to take out all the ifs and buts from my mind and work towards action and execution of stuff to increase my income multifold. 

3. Entertainment - I didn't watch any web series or movies during this time as you only watch them when you are getting bored. I intend to take binge-watching lightly in 2023 for two reasons - first I am not doing any reviews about them and secondly, I am not shooting any videos to review the same. Both of the things are not earning me anything so why waste time watching stuff that's not fetching me anything? 

4. School Fees - I paid the whole annual school fees to take some discount on the same but then the school accounts department was not accepting the respective discount. The flow of emails flies and still the issue remains. I think the better option is to give monthly fees and invest the amount of the annual fees in some assets which can fetch you interest on the same as they only give you a 5% discount whereas you can easily earn 7% of interest in your banks. 

5. Healthy Living - I was getting down to take rest by the afternoon and this led to lazy evenings with the body not being able to cope. I booked an appointment with the Doctor to get through all kinds of health checkups. With my age now of 42 years, I need to take regular health checks for sure. Money will come and go but health is something that can only go. You have to take conscious efforts to build a good healthy heart, body, mind and soul. 

Totally loved the Diwali festival as it brings a lot of lights, fun and desserts to the life. Wishing you all a very Happy Diwali! Enjoy the festival of lights! Cheers!!!

Cheers!!!

New Year Resolutions - Week 2 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends, 

Week 1 was a success in all its ways and as you know the energy is huge at the start and I need to carry out the same throughout the year. Week 2 thankfully continued on the high-spirited self-aware where every minute was costly and planned for. I really loved week 2 overall as I could finish a lot of items which I wanted to do/read/listen etc. 

Week 2 - 8 Jan 2022 (Sat) to 14 Jan 2022 (Fri)

 

1. Walking was still on my mind and I took a giant leap to do it with some days doing more than 6.5kms in one go. It really motivated me to finish the intended 20KM so fast but with some rest, I relaxed too so that the tiredness from walking is divided and have no impact on the coming week.

2. Entertainment - I did watch some movies like Velle and Pushpa and also a web series called Kaun Banegi Shikharwati? starring Lara Dutta, Soha Ali Khan. I really loved Allu Arjun in Pushpa - The Rise. It's really an interesting movie full of action. In future, I plan to do the review posts of all these web series and movies I invest my time in. 

3. Daily Prayers - I was able to complete the 34 Years of Hanuman Chalisa this week and this has been a success in itself as it was only in some days I finished the whole year of chanting. It definitely needs focus, attention and concentration. I felt really happy about it and was at 12500 counts at the end of week 2 on Friday. 

4. Daily Commute - The school also started for Reyansh and Keisha and the daily commute began again to drop and pick them up. Again the division of responsibilities started to emerge else it takes one person's a lot of time which can't be found every day. Also, a lot of petrol station journeys are starting to begin too but that's part and parcel of life. If you have to enjoy life, some charges/rent needs to be considered as a necessity. 

5. Books/Audio Books - I started reading Retire Rich (Invest Rs 40 a day) and finished The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel. It's really a must-read book and I plan to read it in 3 months time again. I also completed listening to The Productivity Project by Chris Bailey. What I have observed is that all the productivity champions these days are telling the same central theme to focus on one thing at a time. 

6. Thank You - I almost finished the week on the verge of completing 100k for the month but delayed it for some days to take it in Week 3 too. As I write this my counter is missing and I am unable to find the same. I will have to make a run to the China Mall this weekend for sure. 

7. Consistency - I posted a daily Facebook post and Instagram feed post on my social media channels and really felt good about it. Consistency is the key and there have been slow and gradual improvements in the rate of engagement and likes are also increasing. 

Affirmations, Meditation and the rest of all the items on the menu took a back seat this week. That's fine as I can always pick them up on this beautiful journey of myself. How are you making your own journey worthwhile? Do leave a comment on any of the social media platforms. 

Cheers!!!

New Year Resolution #3 - Consistently Walk 20 KMS Per Week #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends, 

Happy New Year 2022 Guys and have a great year ahead. I wish that you guys get whatever you set your hearts and mind on!

The next idea that I received was to divide the whole year into weeks which as we all know are 52 in total. Leaving 2 weeks aside then also we have 50 weeks for our dreams to realize. I thought that I will complete 20 kilometres per week so as to complete 50*20= 1000 kilometres by the end of the year. The main task will be to continue walking despite the weather, health conditions and it will average around 3kms per day which is also good as it will be around 5000 steps considering we are working from home for some time in 2022 too. 

I have been a fan of walking and also did practice for 25kms MTN 702 Walk the Talk in 2019 and since that day Huawei watch has been on my hands measuring my performance day by day. It's really easy with a smartwatch as you can play music, check notifications and measure your daily walks too along with if any other sedentary habits or track water drinking too. The same can be done using a smartphone too if you are not a user of a smartwatch. It doesn't matter what instrument you are using as they are just a means to get to the goal we have set for ourselves. 

1000 KMS in a single year is a big task for me that's why I am dividing the same into a weekly 20 km goal as I tried to do it last year but could only reach 271 km without any plan whatsoever. I hope that dividing a big goal into weekly achievable goals can take me to the point I want to reach. 

I hope you are liking my new series of healthy habits and other motivational or inspirational thoughts I have learned over the 41 years of my life. Let me know as I continue to share my views with you guys to enjoy! 

Status Update: Completed 20+ KM in weeks (total walk in that week) - 

Week 1 - Completed (24.8); Week 2 - Completed (24) 

Cheers!!!

5 Reasons Why the #HuaweiBan6 is The Perfect Father's Day Gift @HuaweiZA #FathersDay

Hi Friends, 

Struggling to find the perfect Father’s Day gift for your tech-savvy dad? A smart wearable can be a great choice. From performance to price, the HUAWEI Band 6 is sure to put a smile on Dad's face. Here are five reasons why you should get it for dad:

The perfect arm candy

Sure, mom is dad’s favourite arm candy (no arguments there), but this entry-level wearable with leading design and the most comprehensive functions easily stands out. The HUAWEI Band 6 has a 1.47-inch AMOLED FullView Display Screen, a 148% larger viewable area, and a low-bezel 64% screen-to-body ratio. Combine that with the high-resolution 194 x 368 display with 282 PPI and dad’s got something impressive to look at on his wrist (no offence to the woman in dad’s life!).

A selection of workouts to choose from

To get the best results, we should all change up your parts of our workouts every now and again. The HUAWEI Band 6 will help dad do this because it supports 96 sports modes, including everyday sports such as running, walking, cycling and swimming, as well as the elliptical and rowing machine. There’s also a rope jumping mode that monitors the number of jumps dad takes and provides accurate exercise data such as consecutive jumps.

Blood oxygen level monitoring

There is no need for your dad to go bionic/superhuman and insert special devices to monitor his oxygen levels (we’ll leave that up to Marvel Comics’ Iron Man). The HUAWEI Band 6 has a built-in SpO2 detection system that monitors the user’s blood oxygen saturation 24/7. What makes this a unique feature on this smart wearable is that it constantly runs in the background: the continuous monitoring allows the user to get a reading whenever they want and be alerted in case of any dangerous drops. If dad’s oxygen levels drop too low, the band will vibrate, so he can take time out to breathe and regain his equilibrium.

Battery life keeps up to your pace

The HUAWEI Band 6 offers an incredible 14 days’ battery life for typical use and 10 days for heavy use when it comes to battery endurance. When the smart band does run out of battery, it’s no problem because dad can get two days’ use from just five minutes of charging time with a magnetic charger. So there’s no excuse for him not to work out every day, (but an exception can be made for Father’s Day of course!).

Peaceful sleep

The HUAWEI Band 6 also spoils dad with the gift of better sleep, as his sleeping pattern can be tracked. While the user sleeps, the HUAWEI TruSleep™2.0 is capable of detecting his stage of sleep, real-time heart rate and breathing rate, and produces a comprehensive analysis of dad’s sleep quality from this data. The HUAWEI TruSleep™ 2.0 doesn’t just automatically calculate the duration of sleep; it can also identify moments when the user fell asleep and woke up and the proportion of light sleep to deep sleep and rapid eye movement (REM). This data can help dad accurately identify any of six typical sleep issues like insomnia, shallow sleep, night-time awakenings, early morning awakenings, excessive dreams and an irregular sleep pattern.

Additionally, HUAWEI TruSleep™ 2.0 offers users more than 100 kinds of personalised advice for sleep quality improvement. It provides eight sleeping metrics, including sleep duration, deep sleep ratio, wakes up counter, breathing quality and sleep recommendations.

So, if you’re invested in your personal health and well-being, yet need an affordable device to monitor it, the sleek and compact HUAWEI Band 6 bracelet is the best wearable that’s on the market right now.

Combine that with the high-resolution 194 x 368 display with 282 PPI and you’ve got something impressive to look at on your wrist.

No more running out of time thanks to the extended battery life

When talking about battery endurance, the HUAWEI Band 6 offers an incredible 14 days battery life for typical use and 10 days for heavy use. When you do run out of battery, it’s no problem because you can get two days to use from just five minutes of charging time with a magnetic charger.

Put your heart health at the forefront

Keeping track of your heart rate is one of the best things you can do for your fitness and health. TruSeen™ 4.0 heart rate monitoring technology uses an optical lens and AI-based data processing to accurately monitor your heart rate 24 hours a day. Be alerted instantly when your heart rate drops below or rises above safe levels. Put the health of your heart front and centre with this smart wearable.

Just breathe

The HUAWEI Band 6 has a built-in SpO2 detection system that monitors your blood oxygen saturation 24/7. If it drops too low the band will vibrate, so you can take time out to breathe and regain your equilibrium.

It’s all about the metrics

#TheLifesWayReviews: @Sorbet_Man Saw Point Back & Neck Massage #SorbetManMorningside

Hi Friends, 

Sorbet Man is a premium saloon for every men's day to day grooming needs and requirements. The grooming specialists hired at Sorbet Man are trained and qualified industry professionals. Moreover, the shop offers the best of grooming equipment from lotions to creams to razors to shampoos. They have the best of staff and services available to someone who loves himself and wants to make all their cuts and shaves seriously fun. 

I was re-introduced to Sorbet Man at the launch of their store inside Morningside Shopping Mall on Rivonia Road. I have introduced to the Sorbet Man stores by the Marketing Manager of the brand once long ago but I could not make it to the store due to timing problems and since then it never came in my mind to check them out. But as the opportunity came, I quickly accepted the invite but could not avail any kind of services on the day. The manager was helpful enough to book me in the next week at a convenient timing for the 30 minutes massage session. 

I never thought that the saloon will have a full-fledged massage room and equipment housed inside the store. From the looks of the store, I thought it's just about hair cutting, coloring, and other services but they have a full menu waiting for yourself to be considered for grooming experience. The therapist told me to lie on my back with my clothes off and told me that she will be back in five minutes. Soon she was back and started the massage with her fingers going through the right pressure and relaxed my tired muscles. 

The back and neck massage at the Sorbet Man was really relaxing but it kept me wanting for more as 30 minutes passed in just seconds. I am definitely sure that next time I will book myself for 60 minutes and due to the convenience of walking into the shopping mall where my family can do groceries and other shopping, I can sneak away to find a relaxed myself hidden behind the doors of Sorbet Man. 

You shall definitely check out their services and products to cater to all kinds of personalities and persons. The types of services the store offered are Haircuts and head shaves, color, hot towel shaves, beard care, hair and scalp treatment, hands and feet, manscaping, tinting, threading, massages, Sorbet Man and Dermalogica facials along with various kinds of packages to suit your budget. I am sure you will walk out confident and perfectly groomed.

@HuaweiZA Releases #HUAWEIWATCHGT2 Powerful and Upgraded Fitness Experience

Hi  Friends, 

Huawei has unveiled its next-generation smartwatch, HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 46mm and 42mm series, powered by the firm’s proprietary Kirin A1 chip. Delivering an upgraded user experience and unrivaled battery life due to the chip’s ultra-low power consumption capability, WATCH GT 2 pushes the boundaries of what is expected from a wearable. The HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 is also Huawei’s first smartwatch with an all-in-one 3D glass screen, creating a wider, boundless display. Moreover, the new smartwatch delivers more sports modes with richer programs, as well as adding Bluetooth calling and music playback functionalities, enhancing comprehensive health and fitness monitoring and management capabilities, ultimately offering greater care in meticulous detail to those who love sport and the pursuit of quality of life.

Proprietary Kirin A1 chipset supports unrivaled battery life

The previous generation HUAWEI WATCH GT was well-loved by users because of its impressive battery life. HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 goes in further, being equipped with Huawei’s proprietary Kirin A1 chipset to further improve on battery life. The Kirin A1 chipset integrates an advanced Bluetooth processing unit, a powerful audio processing unit, an ultra-low power consumption application processor and a separate power management unit. The application processor uses the Cortex-M7 processor to achieve ultra-low power consumption of 10uA/MHz, which is far below the industry average of 30uA/MHZ. The perfect combination of high performance and efficient power consumption makes it possible for HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 to deliver robust usage and even longer battery life.

In daily use, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 46mm series can operate continuously for up to two weeks, with both the intelligent heart rate monitor and call notification functions on and weekly usage of up to 30 minutes of Bluetooth calls; up to 30 minutes of music playback; up to 90 minutes of exercise and using the scientific sleep mode at night. In the classic mode, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 42mm series can operate continuously for up to one week. Both series of watches have greatly improved battery life in the GPS tracked sports mode. The 46mm series achieves a battery life of 30 hours under the GPS tracked sports mode, while the 42mm series reaches 15 hours.*

All-in-one 3D glass design for expansive display experience

Classic design never goes out of style. Inheriting the classic look from the previous generation, HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 further upgraded the aesthetics with a full-screen and borderless design. The all-in-one 3D glass surface allows for a wider look and feel. The dial of the 46mm series adopts beveled sculpting and gemstone processing techniques to create 3D curved glass and applies individual carving to create concave spots on the dial for a more vivid look. Treated with multiple processes, the curved dial of the 42mm series is only 9.4mm thin and decorated with an extremely thin, fashionable metal frame.

The HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 46mm series is also equipped with a 1.39-inch AMOLED HD precision touch screen with a display resolution of 454 x 454 pixels, wider color gamut, and an ultra-thin design that is superior to LCD screens, achieving fuller screen color and higher contrast. The screen design is modern and artistic, suitable for people who pursue the finer things in life and speaks to the simple, exquisite design philosophy that is in vogue nowadays.

New professional sports monitoring creates a richer smartwatch experience

Sports enthusiasts ask for professional sports data monitoring and all-around experience from their smartwatches. The HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 46mm series connects with Huawei mobile phone Bluetooth and supports Bluetooth calls at up to 150 meters. The watch also supports phonebook functionality so you can save friends’ contact information on your watch and easily look them up. At the same time, the watch comes with large storage capacity, housing up to 500 mp3 songs. You can easily manage and enjoy music while exercising.

In the sports mode, HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 is compatible with 15 sports, including eight outdoor sports (running, walking, climbing, hiking, trail running, cycling, open water, triathlon) and seven indoor sports (walking, running, cycling, swimming pool, free training, elliptical machine, rowing machine). For these 15 sports modes, the watch provides full-scale monitoring of approximately 190 types of data. The watch provides targeted pre-exercise data analysis for different sports, data recording analysis during the exercise and professional advice afterward. It is like having a personal intelligent sports coach to make your exercise safer and better.

Comprehensive health management for your everyday care

In the field of intelligent wearables, Huawei is committed to helping consumers better manage their own health. Leveraging advanced intelligent algorithms, Huawei is an industry leader in health management.

In terms of heart rate monitoring, HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 helps monitor bradycardia and heart failure. Unless in the sports mode, the user will be notified if the heart rate is above 100 bpm or below 50 bpm for more than 10 minutes. Users can also view the data in the Huawei Sports and Health App to keep an eye on your health in real-time.

In addition to heart rate monitoring, sleep monitoring is another function that users care about. Poor quality sleep has become a problem for many. HUAWEI TruSleep™ 2.0 monitors sleep quality, real-time heart rate, sleep breathing quality and uses big data analysis to rate sleep quality. It combines Huawei AI technology to accurately analyze sleep problems and provides sleep improvement suggestions, as well as personalized sleep services and reports to help users improve sleep quality.

HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 also comes with self-developed HUAWEI TruRelax™ technology, which helps users relieve stress by recording HRV (heart rate variability) values and providing feedback on the user's stress index. In addition, it also has a sedentary alert, which reminds the user to stand up and move around after a certain period of time. On special occasions, the alert can be turned off. You can also record the number of steps you take each day, calories burned, and the number of times you stand up. HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 provides consumers with all-day physical status information to help them develop healthy living habits and lifestyles.

#TheLifesWayGoals @Walkthetalk_ #MTN702WALK #Target25km 28Jul19 - Week 2 #HuaweiHealthSA

Hi Friends, 

Week 2 for my MTN Walk the Talk 25km walk gave me different insights into my body and general challenges to be faced in the next weeks to come. It's a really great adventure which I always wanted to do with myself and this opportunity is really great. 

Overall Target Walk over the next 10 weeks and Percentage Increase over the previous week

On my 2nd Tuesday, I tipped over a scaffolding on the road, the biggest lesson it brought is that you shall never jump over things while walking or running as your feet might not perform as you want them to leading to injuries. 

Week 2 Days Overall Daily Walk Data

Secondly, it also told me that I shall always carry a small First-Aid kit on my practice runs till Week 12 and also some kind of spray to take care of swollen feet or legs.

Week 2 vs Week 1 Performance Analysis

On my 2nd Thursday, as I came from the office a bit late and after drinking tea at home, it already was 715pm when I started. I wanted to postpone the walk of 9km but somehow my willpower took over my head and I completed the same inside my building complex only.

Another biggest risk I am facing in the evening/night is to face some kind of mugging so sometimes when it's too late, I will have to cover the ground inside the apartment complex only. 

Another lesson learned is that it's easier to walk outside on the road as the scenery changes and you face a different kind of uphill and downhill all the time as compared to walking inside the complex. It is much faster timewise as compared to walking in the set apartment path. Also, it keeps your enthusiasm level high on the road.

But this theory was challenged in my final Week 2 - Saturday target of 10km and it happened after a lunch party and it was so difficult to walk on the road after eating. My speed was too slow and the mood was not very great but the only motivating factor was that it was my first day with Huawei Watch GT and this Huawei watch was measuring my performance yesterday. I really loved the nudges to celebrate from 1km to 5km when it gave me a half-way mark wallpaper and then subsequently took me from 6 to 9.99km till it said 100% achieved. I really loved and it also told me about my heart rate from time to time. The Huawei Watch GT is not only comfortable to wear but the battery life is really awesome. The battery only went down by 5-7% during the whole run for more than 128 minutes.

Sony Electronics Wireless WH 1000X M3

My first thanks will go to Sony Electronics for sending their Wireless Noise Canceling Stereo Headset WH-1000X M3 which has really great battery life of 30 hours and the best part is its over-ear headphones design which I always wanted one to try and walk with. I really love the Noise cancellation on these headsets. I used them on Tuesday and Thursday this week and totally fell in love with the same.

Happy Me with the Huawei Watch GT Active - Orange Strap

Secondly, Thanks to Huawei South Africa for partnering with me on my journey to meet 25km and I will track my progress on the watch and will share with all my readers too on their Fans page as well as Health App page on Facebook. Do give both the facebook pages a like if you are using any of the Huawei devices and tracking your health using the Huawei Health app. Check out my Instagram, Facebook and Twitter channels for more on my journey!

#TheLifesWayGoals @Walkthetalk_ #MTN702WALK #Target25km 28Jul19 - Week 1 #HuaweiHealthSA

Hi Friends, 

When you start committing to something then the universe also makes it possible for you and with the plan in hand shared in my earlier post, the week 1 ended and I came across several risks and lessons learned to take care of and also some of the ideas to be implemented. 

Week 1 Performance

First 8km done using Huawei Health App

Let's talk about the first risk that came to my mind was the time needed during the training weeks for the next 12 weeks when it will be more than 10kms then I will need at least 2 hours to finish 10km and it will be not easy after office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But that can be taken care of starting as soon as after reaching home and eating dinner a little late.

Another risk will be attending launch events which generally happens on Thursday evenings and on those days when I get invited to some, I will have to change my schedule from Tuesday to Monday and Thursday to Wednesday or Friday but that won't happen so often but might happen in some weeks out of 12 weeks.

Lessons Learnt was that the shoes shall be worn at all times and you shall invest in nice ones made for walking. Currently, I am using New Balance Fresh foam 900 but don't think they will last till the race day as these are the ones I got long back when I came to South Africa from Newbalance event and its sides are cut on both the shoes. But I do have Puma shoes bought in London and another pair in South Africa which I will try too but they are not as comfortable as New Balance Fresh foam 900 is. 

Another lesson learned was that the playlist shall have all the funky songs that you like so as to give you power when the walking gets tough. Now I understood why there is a band playing during the marathons and other runs in South Africa. I am currently using Huawei P20 Pro smartphone and using the music player in the same to stream on my Body Glove Mini Earphones from Gammatek. They are really nice and lasts for around 2 hours 30 minutes but I have not reached that time limit at the moment may be in Week 3-4 onwards.

The best part about going on this program #Target25km is giving my will power a chance to get strong and also listening to my favorite songs or also watching or listening to Netflix TV series too. The best part about Netflix connection I have is that I can download some of the interesting series and can watch them while I am disconnected from wifi network or mobile data.

Another benefit is it gives me a lot of time to think about my future and introspect while I am walking about all the things happened in the past. I can definitely connect the dots and maybe it will bring something positive in me within the next 11 weeks left on this program.

#TheLifesWayGoals - @Walkthetalk_ #MTN702WALK 25Kms on 28th July 2019 - Planning #HuaweiHealth

Hi Friends, 

I have always wanted to be fully physically fit but never took any actions to become one or remain focussed after doing it for a day or two. When MTN Walk the Talk sent me a secret survey to ask about the 25kms and my reactions to the same, I was very much in favor of the same due to this year being 25 Years of Democracy in South Africa. I really thought for a while before registering myself for the 25 km race on 28th July 2019. I have done 15kms last year on 22nd July 2018 and the day was my birthday too but nothing before and after that. 

I took my faith in myself to the next level and registered myself for the 25km race and also enrolled for the SA Park and Ride because I am sure I won't be able to walk to the parking and drive the car myself. 

I am out of luck on my Smartphone watch as it's on life's end which I got as a gift from my wife some 3 years back. I am trying to capture my weekly progress using @Huawei Health App on my Huawei P20 Pro smartphone and trying to win myself a Huawei Watch GT. 

Here is the plan to be ready for 28th July 2019 and the logic behind all the 12 weeks to the same is - 

1. Phase 1 - Build stamina to walk 15 km in a single go
2. Phase 2 - Build stamina to walk 20 km in a single go
3. Phase 3 - Build stamina to walk 25 km in a single go
4. Each Phase is 4 weeks long
5. Every Tuesday and Thursday will be my days to do a practice walk
6. Every Saturday will be target walk which needs to be completed in one go
7. There are some exceptions in the last week when Thursday plan is moved to Friday

These are the plans created thinking of a perfect world and happy path scenario's but I am looking at trying to match the same with real-world performance and writing some blog posts on the same. 

If you want to get registered, you are welcome to at http://www.walkthetalk.co.za/ and let's walk together! 

Cheers!!!

Milk is Great - Only if You Can Digest It! Introducing @Nutragoat #GoatMilk #HealthyLiving

Hi Friends,

Ever felt some slight bloating or nausea or flatulence or cramps after drinking milk? Chances are you're insensitive to regular dairy! Almost 60% of Indians are intolerant to dairy in some capacity. As Indians we can't really imagine a day without dairy - that chilled mango milkshake under the summer sun, a cheesy pizza, a cup of comforting chai and that ridiculously scrumptious paneer tikka at your favorite restaurant - how do we do without milk?

Believe us, dairy need not always be so difficult! We now have an extremely nutritious, easily digested and low lactose dairy option for your daily nutrition needs - Pure Pasteurized Goat Milk procured from free-ranging goats, feeding off naturally growing, pesticide-free nutritious herbs and shrubs.

Goat milk is a nutritional powerhouse which has lots of healthy minerals and vitamins. Here are some other nutritional facts about goat milk that may surprise you. It aids weight loss, optimizes digestion, improves the bioavailability of nutrients, reduces inflammation, boosts heart health, strengthens bones, strengthen immunity, increase metabolism, prevent toxins from accumulating in the body, and benefit overall health.

Nutragoat use only fresh milk and by chilling it rapidly and minimizing agitation, we achieve a very clean and mild flavor.

Just some of the benefits of goat milk are:

• Easy to digest
• Hypoallergenic
• High levels of short and medium-chain fatty acids - unlike cow/buffalo milk short and medium-chain fatty acids are more rapidly digested and are not stored as fat, thus lowering cholesterol
• Naturally homogenized
• Builds Bone Density
• Rich source of protein, which is essential for growth and development
• Good source of magnesium, which is very beneficial for the heart
• Prevents Anaemia
• Best for babies - Closest in composition to human milk - easily accepted and less stress on the digestive system.
• Rich source of Selenium (Se) - Deficiency of Selenium and decrease in platelet count are the main complications of dengue fever
