Exercise  

To be fit and fine, there’s no second alternative to physical ac­tivity. Workouts and freehand exercises actually improve heart functioning, lowers blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides. Not only is it a must for those suffering from obesity or diabetes, it is also a great reliever of pent-up emotions like anger. Selecting an exer­cise programme that you enjoy will make you consistent.

 Some Basic Forms of Exercise 3

• Cardiovascular exercise: Cardiovas­cular exercise burns calories, promotes blood circulation and strengthens the heart. One can do this through walking, swimming or cycling
• Strength training: Weight bearing ex­ercises help in maintaining bone density and keeping the body strong. Working out on machines or exercising using dumbbells can be the ideal ways
• Flexibility training: Flexibility exer­cises help to keep the body supple, flexi­ble and free from muscular stress. Some good examples are yoga and stretching exercises

Relaxation

Some everyday activities help you de­tress. Let these be part of your daily routine.

• Have a sound sleep
• Laughter helps relax the mind and wipe away stress
• Breathing exercises and pranayama

Nutritionƒ

A healthy well-balanced diet should include carbohydrates, proteins, fats and plenty of water.

• Eat enjoyable and nutritious food. Eat three to five pieces of fresh fruits and sal­ad each day. Choose whole, organic foods rather than refined, processed foods that are full of additives
• It’s ideal to eat around 8 pm. If you eat too much at a later hour, youll gain weight and find it difficult to digest the food. If you eat a late dinner, then eat a small snack before 8 pm, so that you won’t be very hungry during dinner
• Drink eight to 10 glasses of water daily. Eat high water content foods, such as, watermelon, oranges, pineapples, tomatoes and cucumber
• Go for that hobby which rejuvenates and relaxes
• Live life to the fullest and enjoy every minute in little pleasures of life.
