5 Tips to Make the Most of Your Protein

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is approximately 1 gram per kilogram of your body weight. It is important to understand why protein is so important. Made up of amino acids, it is often termed as the chemical building blocks of the body, essential for repairing, building cells, bones and muscles. It also helps to make enzymes, hormones, antibodies and maintain pH balance. Also used as an energy source, it slows chemical reactions while improving appetite, body composition and metabolism, thereby playing a major role in weight management. Thus, it is important to eat your proteins in a way that they can be fully utilised by the body, especially if you are a gym lover and take protein supplements.

Protein pre and post workout
To be able to perform your workout to the best of your potential and to get the best results, you need energy. This should majorly come in the form of protein that will ultimately help in body building and improving your metabolism. Thus, a high protein supplement shake is crucial either before the workout or after it, depending on the timings of your exercise regime. And this high protein is as important as the workout itself since it enables you to balance the diet and calories spent as well as energy required to continue the exercise.

A clean diet
It is a no brainer that one must avoid junk food, white flour, fried food and eat a healthy balanced diet. Cutting down on excessive carbohydrates is also crucial, while sugar should be completely eliminated from the diet. This will ensure that the protein rich supplements that you are consuming will directly help in body building. As the extra carbs and sugar will be ultimately stored by the body, eliminating them will help in supporting your own endeavour towards a healthier life.

Protein first, carbs later
Even when you are excessively hungry, eat the protein part of your meal first, then have a small portion of complex carb/vegetable and healthy fat for balance. This will ensure that your diet is rich in protein, while complex carbs are only eaten once your hunger is satiated.

Choose your protein supplement wisely
While there are multiple protein supplements in the market, ensure that you read through the label carefully to get the best results. Choose high quality supplement with a complete amino acid profile like BigMuscles Nutrition Premium Gold whey or Nitric whey protein which has good 27gm of protein per serving and is available as pre workout and post workout protein supplements that can be mixed with water or milk to make a smoothie. Moreover, ensure that the protein supplement is Vegan and lab tested so that there are no health issues in the future.

Vegetables are still important
While protein does make an important aspect of your diet, vegetables are as important since they contain vitamins, minerals and other necessary nutrients. Although needed in small quantities, these nutrients will balance your diet. A bowl of vegetable is all you need for lunch and dinner. Seasonal vegetables are good too, and make sure that you eat a variety of them to get everything that your body requires

Seth M.R. Jaipuria Schools Plans 10 K-12 Schools in Madhya Pradesh

December 05, 2024: Seth M.R. Jaipuria Schools, one of the most respected and renowned school chains in India, is looking to further expand across the country, with prime focus on Madhya Pradesh. Presently, the group operates 4 Management institutes and 60+ K-12 Schools across 6 states and 51 cities pan-India, with 55,000+ students and 3,500+ educators associated with the Group. The Management plan to facilitate opening of 10 schools in Madhya Pradesh in the next 5 years, providing education opportunities to at least 10,000-12,000 students and creating at least 1500 jobs. These schools will be in collaboration with edupreneurs at various cities. In the state, the group already has presence in higher education since 2010 with Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore. Subsequently, K-12 Schools got established at Barwani and Gwalior, and the latest venture is the K-12 School in the capital city of Bhopal.

Mr. Shreevats Jaipuria, Vice Chairman, Jaipuria Group commented “We have always believed that the aim of holistic education is to provide our students with all skills necessary to live life. Holding fast into our roots, we promote international mindedness, as we recognize its importance in today’s day and age as we work with individuals shaping up to be globally responsible citizens of the 21st century. Our schools are ranked amongst India’s top 10 schools with 99% first divisioners in the last 5 years both regionally and nationally, and our students excelling in varied activities.” Schools help development of societies holistically. Students get education, families and communities get connected, there is overall uplifting of the city with a quality school. There are multiple jobs created – on average a 1000 student school will generate direct employment of 100+ individuals- it also helps development of ancillary and support services. A truly noble cause for nation building.

He continued, “My family has been active in education since 1945; we started this journey of expansions in year 2014, and have seen acclaim and impact. We started our journey with primary focus in North and Central India. After ten years, we are humbled with the way our schools have gained liking and created impact across more than 60 campuses. Even now, we foresee bulk of growth coming from Tier II and Tier III cities as the penetration of high quality schools is still low there, while the demand for growth in these cities is exponential. Our schools have been in collaboration with edupreneurs at local levels, and for them too, this would be a tremendous business opportunity rooted in legacy. Cities and towns grow around quality schools; we have already seen this pan-India. We believe that this model has allowed us to leverage our experience and expertise in education at the national level. A Jaipuria School student always gets access to most modern curriculum, and methods of teaching, state-of-the-art technology, and experiences through multitude of events and very high quality teachers, irrespective of whether he or she is in a Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 3 city. Our level of detailing of learning outcomes for the student is indeed revolutionary in the Indian school system”.

The K-12 Schools and Management Institutes operated by Jaipuria have found success and gained trust of the country. The focus on Madhya Pradesh will provide a unique educational experience, blending modern perspectives with traditional values. Establishment of ten schools will see at least INR 200 crores investment in the State, positively enhancing the economics and well-being too.

Dr. Rajendra Malviya, Chairman of the Seth M. R. Jaipuria School, Barwani outlined the school’s progressive, co-educational vision. “With support from the Jaipuria Group, the school has provided a robust educational foundation, centred on activity-based learning, holistic development, and a child-centric approach. The School features top-tier facilities, interactive digital classrooms, well-equipped laboratories, library, and a global curriculum. The school offers 40+ activities, including sports, arts, and more” said the very well-known doctor and educator. Efforts of Dr. Malviya have already resulted in transformation of Barwani in a big way.

Jaipuria will enhance the quality of education in the region with interventions in line with NEP 2020 and NCF, and guidance as per the CBSE Board in details. Great processes and futuristic vision sets us apart, needed in the very-competitive city of Gwalior.

Our students have done exceptionally well with college and university admissions by getting favourable seats in Delhi University, Ashoka, Jindal Law School, Calcutta University and some have even gone the Universities such as Warwick, London Met and more, and I am sure that students of Madhya Pradesh would benefit from our wealth of experience, too. Students get access to the most advanced curriculum, whilst teachers and staff get access to regular training, upskilling, certification, audit, and further handholding to make the most of their careers”.

Mr. Vijay Shukla, AVP – Business Expansion SMRJS New Delhi “Our schools in Madhya Pradesh- Bhopal, Gwalior and Barwani- embody the group’s commitment to nurturing academic excellence, fostering innovation, and cultivating leadership in students.

Crafting Legacies: The Journey of Chanda Narang and Frazer & Haws

A force of creative vision and meticulous craftsmanship, Chanda Narang is the dynamic face for Frazer & Haws, a legacy British brand with over 150 years of heritage. Her association with the brand since 1997 marks a pivotal era when traditional British silversmithing met modern retail finesse. Chanda’s journey has been one of transformation and innovation, aligning the brand’s timeless artistry with the discerning tastes of today’s luxury consumers.

Chanda’s evolution from filmmaking to silversmithing and retail showcases her deep commitment to preserving and reimagining the legacy of Frazer & Haws in India. With her mother, Mrs. Saloni Narang, laying the foundation by introducing the brand’s first silver and terracotta pieces, Chanda took this legacy forward by launching the first Frazer & Haws retail store in New Delhi. Her leadership has enriched the brand with a contemporary edge while upholding the ethos of craftsmanship, authenticity, and artistry.

Frazer & Haws, originally established in 1869 by John Frazer and Edward Haws, boasts a lineage that catered to the British royal family and global aristocracy. In India, Chanda and her family have continued this tradition of excellence, curating exclusive collections that blend sterling silver with materials like terracotta, wood, and stone. From bespoke modern temples and wedding collections to divinity-inspired statues and corporate mementos, each creation tops functionality, becoming a collector’s piece and a statement of art.

Under Chanda’s guidance, the brand has remained true to its commitment to purity, quality, and sustainability. Every piece is meticulously handcrafted and hallmarked with 92.5% sterling silver, ensuring authenticity and exclusivity. Frazer & Haws is not only a silversmith brand; it is a curator of experiences, harmonizing British heritage with Indian craftsmanship. The flagship store in New Delhi, designed with British contemporary aesthetics, serves as an elegant homage to the brand’s roots while embracing its modern aspirations.

For Chanda, luxury is defined not only by the elegance of design but also by the integrity of the product. As she aptly states: “At Frazer & Haws, you are getting more than you have paid for, it’s always been the case, and it always will be.” This ethos accords deeply with the brand’s clientele, a discerning group that values heritage, craftsmanship, and the finer things in life.

Frazer & Haws continues to lead with collections that inspire awe. Their Divinity series offers modern renditions of spiritual icons, while limited-edition art pieces transform functional items into masterpieces. Chanda’s focus on creating lasting art in silver highlights the brand’s dedication to offering consumers more than a product – it offers an heirloom.

Through her tenacious dedication, Chanda Narang has established Frazer & Haws as a hallmark of luxury, innovation, and timeless refinement in the world of fine craftsmanship.
