It also washed away parts of four piers along the coast, including two at Myrtle Beach.</div><div><br></div><div>Online cameras showed seawater filling neighborhoods in Garden City to calf level.

Get good fat from home cooked food</b></div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The good fat that you want to include in your diet must come from the food cooked at home using traditional practices. Diwekar says that Omega-3 capsule and other such supplements do not have monopoly on good fat and it should instead come from good cooking practices or traditional cooking practices. Ghee, nuts, pulses, grains, vegetables, fruits all these things in combination are good food practices.</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \"><b>2.

She advises to cook in ghee or cold pressed oil of your region.</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\"If you think air frying is making your mathri, samosa, poori healthier they are not. We may end up eating more portion or quantity of these foods as we do not feel satiated. If you eat deep-fried food, you will reach high satiety and end up eating much less and take in less calories,\" says Diwekar.</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \"><b>3. Never miss out on exercise</b></div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rujuta says exercise is the best drug for your heart and one must include strength training in their weekly plan. \"Many people wait for heart attack or their heart health to worsen before starting exercise. It is as important as healthy diet. 150 minutes per week is recommended. Apart from just walking, stretching and resistant training is also important. It will also control cholesterol, blood pressure and other such issues.</div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \"><b><br></b></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>4.
