7 simple steps that lead to a healthier you

Don’t Skip Breakfast:

Breakfast is considered the most crucial meal of the day as your body fasts for around 8-10 hours. Therefore, you should make a regular habit of having breakfast in the morning so that the body gets some essential nutrients to get started for the day. A breakfast that includes whole grains, fruits, and fibre gives the body the nutrients and energy it needs to start the day off right and gives you the sustained energy you need to get through it.

Drink enough water:

Staying hydrated throughout the day has numerous health benefits. As a result, it is recommended to consume 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, though this may change based on the climate and the volume of exercise you get.

Maintain the intake of a balanced nutrient:

Proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are the three fundamental food types that are necessary for a healthy you. However, it is a must that you eat a balanced diet, advises Yash Birla in his book ‘Building The Perfect Body.’ A surplus of anything is bad for your body. For instance, eating too many carbohydrates can result in an increase in blood sugar. To ensure a balanced nutrient intake, the goal is to eat fruits, vegetables, pulses, legumes, cereal, and whole grains in the appropriate proportions.

Choose Healthy Foods: 

Make healthy substitutions like switching to olive oil from butter, fresh fruit from candy, baked snacks from fried ones, and so on. Eliminate soda and replace it with water or green tea. Choose fresh foods over processed ones.

Stay Physically active:

Participating in physical activity is essential to achieving good health. The goal is to maintain a healthy level of physical activity, which will aid in boosting metabolism. This can be accomplished by going for a walk, jogging, swimming, or climbing stairs. You can also use the stairs rather than the lift.

Get enough sleep:

A variety of health issues can be attributed to sleep deprivation. A good night’s rest prepares the body and mind for the following day. It improves your focus, lessens depression, enhances your spirits, gives you more energy, and lessens impatience.

Mellow Out Daily:

Every day, set aside some time for breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, or prayer. Yash Birla makes sure that every night before sleeping, he dedicates at least 15-20 minutes to meditation. These pursuits assist in clearing your thoughts and relaxing your spirit. After all, physical and mental health are equally important, believes Yash Birla.
