Valuable Health Tips to Follow


We welcome in the new year with an old quote “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” — C.S. Lewis

With the start of this new year we want to touch back on what is important for our health. It is important we focus on our mental health as well as physical health and fitness. Like every year “Eating healthy”, “staying fit” and “keeping upbeat” will be among the top priorities.

Set realistic goals like waking up early in the morning, doing some yoga and exercise, timely meals, meditation, nurturing your habits and spending time with your loved ones. 

These small consistent efforts slowly change our lifestyle for the better and a sense of accomplishment acts as a powerful psychological motivator.

Kick start your New Year with these health tips

– Have a plate full of colours:
Just have a look at your plate, is it a rainbow platter? More colourful plates means a diet full of all essential vitamins and minerals. Have a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains. It is usually recommended to “Eat as per the season”, it means eating fruits and vegetables that are in season and fresh in your area at that time of the year.

The AHA (American Heart Association) recommends that “Balance food and calorie intake with physical activity to maintain a healthy weight” 

– Keep yourself hydrated:
To keep dehydration at bay drink lots of water. Not only water, but also juices, coconut water, herbal teas and many others also  contribute to daily water intake. Juicy fruits and vegetables like watermelon, cucumber and spinach are some of the most hydrating foods.

– Handful of nuts:
New research suggests that handful of nuts empty stomach early in the morning prevents excessive weight gain and even lowers the risk of obesity. Nuts keep us fuller longer and reduce the cravings for unhealthy junk food.

Research suggests that eating nuts:
– Lowers bad cholesterol
– Lowers the level of heart related inflammation
– Reduces the risk of developing blood clots that cause heart attack

– Cut down Sodium:
Potassium and sodium play an important role in the normal functioning of our body. 

High Sodium raises our blood pressure and affects our vitals. So replace Sodium with Potassium. Legumes, potatoes, tomatoes, green leafy vegetables, bananas, milk, yogurt, nuts are rich source of Potassium.

National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends a Potassium intake of 2,600 mg per day for women and 3,400 mg per day for men.

Break the monotony of the same old routine and spend some time with family and friends doing something new. Small getaways can improve your mood and concentration.

Endorphins released during exercise are natural pain relievers and mood boosters. Just kick start your day with yoga, a walk, aerobics or cycling as per your stamina to keep yourself energised throughout the day.
