A Key to be a Healthier and a Happier Person!

At times we think that these things are very basic things and everybody knows them yet we find it hard to follow them because they are basic I guess! The best thing would be read it again and again so that it keeps on inspiring you. Save it in your favourites or on the desktop. Do spread the message to your loved ones also. I hope I was able to help you in the smallest way possible.

1. Take out time for exercise:

   I know that we all are in a hurry to do some or the other thing in the morning. But you will need this body to do all these works in future as well so you have to spare some time for it. Now to start with don’t set targets for days because if you will not be able to achieve the targets, you will be disheartened and you will stop exercising. So set the targets for weeks, at least 2hours a week. So about 15-20 minutes a day and of course you can complete the missed targets on weekends. For those who can’t even spare this much time you walk as much as you can in the morning or go cycling to your workplace. Even if that is not possible then you avoid driving in the morning and that time you must do some breathing exercises and meditation instead of just plugging in your earphone!

2. Healthy breakfast:

   There are various types of food and you can’t just name a few to tell anybody that this should be taken. So I will try to explain you in simple words. You can just take any kind of food, provided it should be in its natural form. This means that the breakfast should not be fried, boiled or if possible not even cooked. So the best example can be fruits, milk, juices (try to take fresh fruits along with the pulp), lentils or beans should be taken in the sprouted form, some nuts are a must (in winters can be taken in the natural form but in summers soak them overnight in water and consume them without the skin and even drink that water in which you soaked them).Do take some cereals like cornflakes, or flatbreads or fermented wheat bread. It would be best if you can take a combination of some fruits, cereals, nuts and juice/milk.

3. Short breaks from work:

   It is very important to take short breaks while working. It will prevent you from stressing out and you will be able to perform more. Even this principle is applicable for those who are at home. One must relax in between whatever we do. It can be a tea/coffee break, or take a short walk, or talk to someone or just deep-breathe for sometime in open area. If you are a homemaker take some nap in the day so that you are fresh and energetic when your loved ones are back from work!

4. Give time to your family/loved ones:

   Always remember that money and materialistic things are meaningful and will give you happiness when you have the support and love of your family and loved ones. So next time when you reach home after work, don’t just stick to your laptop or music player! Talk to your loved ones, share things with each other, play with your kids and try to give some small surprises to each other!

5. Early to bed or at least early dinner:

   Try to finish your routine and go early to bed. But these days I know people say that they find time for themselves only at night, thanks to technology! Anyways if you can’t go to bed early just take care that 6-8hours sleep is a must. Even if you can’t sleep early just take care that you finish with your supper at least 2hours before you go to bed otherwise your intestines will have to work really hard and you will have to pay for it in the long run.
