We have heard experts saying that
making small and healthy changes in everyday life will bring great changes in
our health and quality of our life.
Lot
of us believes that we have to change everything. But setting small goals and
making small changes is the secret of achieving big goals in our life. We
become healthier both physically and mentally.
Here I have suggested 5 healthy habits
to be followed that help you to lead a healthy and happy life.
·
Have a good night sleep
·
Drink jeera water early morning
·
Exercise Regularly
·
Eat healthy
·
Relax in the evening
Have
a good night sleep.
Getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep
keeps us energetic and active on the next day. Going to bed late at night and
not having enough sleeping brings hormonal fluctuations in body. Lot of free
radicals will be released in the body. Our immunity power reduces. It increases
dark circles around the eyes and also causes hair loss.
A good night sleep increases our physical
health and mental health and increases our life span. It helps you in decision
making. It provides clarity in thinking. Overall it provides good mental
health. Sleeping is also a kind of meditation. It helps you to forget your past
and plan for the future.
Drink
jeera/cumin seed water early morning
Cumin seeds have ‘n’ number of
medicinal benefits. Soak a spoon full of cumin seeds in a cup of water
overnight. The water gets infused with the taste and aroma of cumin seeds. The
next day, as soon as you get up, brush your teeth and drink this jeera water in
empty stomach.
It
has numerous health benefits. It flushes out toxins from the body. It boosts
our metabolism and aids digestion. It keeps us hydrated throughout the day. It
keeps our blood glucose level under control and disease free.
Exercise
regularly
We all are aware of the proverb A
sound mind in a Sound Body. We must always keep this in mind. Being lazy not
only makes our body sluggish but also our mind. Our mind becomes blunt like a
blunt pencil. Like a pencil which has to be sharpened frequently, our mind
should also be refreshed and sharpened. For this, we must increase our physical
activity.
Exercise
keeps us fit and healthy. It increases our body metabolism and keeps us active
throughout the day. Doing surya namaskar helps us to harvest the energy of the
sun. Other asanas increases the flexibility of our body and activates all
organs in the body
Walking
is a simple but excellent way to keep us healthy and happy. It is good for
heart health, mind health and protects us from ‘n’ number of diseases. Everybody
must at least go for a 30minutes walk every day to be healthy and happy because
exercise also drains our emotional stress.
Eat
healthy
Don’t eat too much and don’t eat
too little. Eating too much increase our weight and eating too little makes us
lean. Also we must eat consciously. We should concentrate on the food while we
eat. Our body signals us when to eat and how much to eat. We must include
variety of colourful fruits and vegetables in our diet. Colour fruits and
vegetables have plenty of anti-oxidants in it. These anti-oxidants protect us
from various diseases. Also we must chew the food before swallowing. Chewing
grinds the food and also mixes the saliva with food so that the digestive
system finds it easier to break down the food and absorb maximum amount of
nutrients in it.
Relax
in the evening.
After returning from work we must
relax ourselves by changing the track of our mind. We can have a look on the greeneries,
listen to music, or play with children, chat with friends etc. we can have a
cup of tea to activate our mind and body. This relaxing time will reduce our
work stress; helps us to come out of our work mood.
Also
let our night food be light and warm. Having a cup of warm milk with turmeric
and crushed pepper powder gives good night sleep. It also cleans our
respiratory track by pulling down the mucus in it.
Prevention is better than cure. These 5 habits
may sound simple, but it has great impact on our life. By following these
habits regularly, it becomes our natural habit and helps us to live healthier and happier.
