When was the last time you ran for a couple of kms and didn’t pant for the next 5 minutes, trying to catch your breath?
The buzzword all around the world currently revolves around health and each and every person is taking more care than ever to stay healthy & fit. Working out for an hour is highly recommended but no amount of workout will make us strong and fit, if we don’t pay attention to what we are eating. Building one’s
immunity is not rocket science, and can be done easily by making some lifestyle changes.
Over the last few months I made five lifestyle changes to improve my immunity and I’d love to share them with you.
Lifestyle Changes
* My health conditions make me stay away from a lot of foods like rice, maida, sugar, high GI foods, fried foods, packet foods, and more. So, at a glance, one would imagine that there is hardly anything that remains that I can eat now. I felt so too. But after a lot of research I have found food and nutrition substitutes which give me the exact nourishment that my body needs, while keeping me away from what is harmful for me.
I plan my meals beforehand and get the ingredients ready a day before. As a result, I am eating more home-cooked food, and I cook my own food so that I can control what goes in
the cooking process too.
* I have started devoting an hour of my day to exercising. My workouts vary from yoga to home exercises to walks, and also include breathing exercises for my lungs.
* Our generation has conveniently ignored how important it is to sleep. At night. I have consciously made changes in my lifestyle so that I get a solid 7-8 hours of sleep, and in one go. I don’t nap during the day.
* Keeping the mind refreshed and healthy is yet another underrated fact. We forget to, most of the times. The fourth lifestyle change I made is that depending on what I feel like that day, I take time out for my hobbies – I read, I paint, I knit. I sometimes garden, and now I cook regularly.
Times I spend doing these things are when my mind unravels and nourishes itself.
* As you grow older, it is important to ensure that your body is getting the right nourishment. I have added medically prescribed nutritious supplements in my diet. You can try Ensure that has 11 immunity supporting nutrients and helps in your body getting complete and balanced diet.
What about you? What lifestyle changes have you made to maintain your physical and mental strength? I’d love to know and see if I can implement them in my life too!
