What It Means For You
- Readers can treat the list as one clinician's personal routine, not a prescription for every patient.
- Post-meal walking of about 10 minutes is the first habit he names for blunting glucose spikes.
- Fibre and plant-diversity targets he cites are 30-plus grams daily and 30-plus different plants weekly.
What's Happening
- Sethi trained at AIIMS, Harvard and Stanford and posted the seven changes in an Instagram video on August 27.
- He said late meals can worsen nighttime glucose control and raise reflux risk if people lie down soon after eating.
- He drinks coffee without sugar or dessert-style add-ins, citing associations with lower chronic liver disease risk.
What The Seven Habits Cover
- Strength work two to three times a week includes not skipping leg training, he said.
- Sleep target is seven to nine hours, which he links to glucose, appetite and cardiovascular regulation.
- He referenced microbiome research associating 30-plus weekly plant foods with greater gut microbial diversity.
