Five diet and lifestyle habits for your good health
What's the story
With our increasingly packed working schedules, junk diet routines, unhealthy lifestyle habits, and perpetually falling air quality levels, maintaining good mental and physical health can be challenging. However, the best you can do is stick to the basics and hope for the best. Today, we have listed five essential diet and lifestyle habits to help you stay fit and healthy.
#1
Eat the right food items
Perhaps the most significant step you can take for your health is improving your food choices. For this, first of all, bid farewell to fast and junk food, and start eating home-cooked food more often. Make sure to include immunity-boosting foods such as citrus fruits, garlic, ginger, yogurt etc. to fight diseases. Also, include super-foods like eggs, dark and leafy greens, nuts, among others.
#2
Stay active
We understand you are busy, and sneaking in time for exercise from a tight schedule might be too much to ask for, but a light, 15-minute daily exercise ritual will go a long way in improving your health quotient. It will increase your energy levels, and enhance productivity. Perform simple cardio exercises like jogging, running, biking etc. on a regular basis, to see results.
#3
Don't forget to sip it
This one can't be reiterated enough. Dehydration is more dangerous than you can imagine - it can lead to headaches, seizures, heat injury, urinary/kidney problems, among others. So, make sure to gulp down 8-12 glasses of water throughout the day to stay aptly hydrated. It will help improve circulation of nutrients in body, flush out toxins, enhance digestion, and also aid in weight loss.

Try meditation and Yoga
Meditation: Sitting down to meditate for just about 10 minutes everyday will help reduce your stress levels, improve focus, stability, and your general mental wellness. Yoga: There are many benefits of this ancient Ayurvedic practice. Performing just a couple of Yoga poses on a regular basis will help improve your blood flow, enhance digestion, boost your immunity, increase endurance, and thus productivity, in general.
