**Mumbai, India** – Nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee is urging followers to adopt a calorie-conscious approach to diet as a key to longevity and better health, citing research linking overeating to premature aging and chronic diseases. In a recent Instagram video, Mukerjee addresses the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and high/low blood pressure, attributing them largely to poor eating habits and lack of exercise.

Mukerjee highlights that overconsumption of processed foods, unhealthy choices, and even excessive healthy foods contributes to premature aging and diseases such as obesity, cancer, and type-2 diabetes. She specifically points to foods like excessive amounts of gluten (found in chapatis and rice), processed meats, alcohol, and smoking as inflammatory agents that can damage the gut lining, potentially leading to conditions such as Leaky Gut Syndrome and Dysbiosis.

The solution, according to Mukerjee, is a balanced diet with fewer calories. She emphasizes that research spanning over 50 years demonstrates a significant reduction in disease susceptibility and slowing of the aging process through moderate consumption of a nourishing diet. She recommends a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, good quality protein, and healthy fats (Omega-3, MUFA, and some saturated fat).

Mukerjee encourages her followers to consider small, manageable changes to their eating habits. She concludes by emphasizing that moderation and mindful eating are crucial for long-term health and well-being.
