7 healthy ways for a healthy life!!!

It is not only important to monitor what you eat or drink but also how you time it all. If we discipline ourselves towards a better lifestyle, maintaining good health won’t be such a task. It is World Health Day today. It is a good reason to take complete responsibility of inculcating healthy habits into our life.

Follow these 7 changes to your lifestyle to feel better and live healthier-

1) King’s Breakfast: Most people don't feel like eating much at breakfast. However, ignoring or skipping breakfast sets a bad rhythm for the rest of your day and weakens your immune system. Having breakfast is a must and the ideal breakfast is one which is low in carbohydrates and has a good portion of protein. For people short on time, a seasonal fruit with raw nuts and a little yogurt can be a good option. Eggs and Milk can also do wonders.

2) Water Intake: Inadequate water causes dehydration and can lead to a number of problems. Most common ones are headaches, dry skin, impaired sleep, joint problems, poor concentration as well as digestive disorders. Best way to address this problem is to keep water handy wherever you are. Try to drink about two liters of water each day. More, if its hot outside or after workouts.

3) Sleep Well: Sleep time is rejuvenation for your body. If you don't get enough sleep, you will deprive your body the time to recover and tackle whatever the next day has to offer. Try to be in bed earlier and get at least 7 hours of sleep daily, sleep also helps in maintaining circadian rhythm and also boosts memory and immunity.

4) Physical Training: A good mix of aerobic as well as strength training is quite important for your health. You feel more energetic and productive when you physically work out. People who exercise regularly are generally happier than those who are inactive.

5) Stress Releasing: Stress is a major factor in inducing various forms of illnesses. Stress increases the amount of free radicals generated in the body and may cause hypertension and diabetes. Try to give yourself some time every week to do things that you enjoy – like reading, meditation or enjoying the outdoors.

6) No Self Medication: Often one wrong medicine causes much more harm than any medicine at the right time, does good. Try to avoid popping pills without doctor’s recommendation. Many side effects or reactions to an existing medication or condition can lead to uncalled for problems and complications later. Don’t rely on sources like chemist or a relative to guide you, they might not look at the right details due to lack of knowledge. Say no to self medication.


7) Avoid Fried junk foods : These are the sources of saturated fatty acids the main culprit in causing obesity and heart problems, instead feast on baked items.
