Do you manage a healthy routine? Do ask yourself this crucial question. You probably know the answer as well. Nope.
The truth is that we don’t tend to realize it until we have to face a health issue.
You may be preoccupied with your busy schedule and forget that health is one of the primary concerns of your life that should never be sidelined.
According to new research, almost 48% of the adults have admitted that stress and busy life stop them from eating a healthy meal. Similarly, Rutgers found that American food culture is posing serious effects on healthful diets.
- Create a strict routine to follow
Health is Wealth! Your personal health is a topmost priority. Hence, you need to invest time in the pool despite a busy schedule. Choose to start your day by hitting the gym or following an exercise regime that keeps your body active throughout the day.
You have to sit for long hours on that same office chair every day that limits your body movements. It is suggested to take short walks and stretch the body parts when you have time. Do whatever you prefer more such as yoga or jogging.
- Stick to a healthy and nutritious diet
Do you have to skip breakfast because you have an urgent client meeting in the office? Once that meeting gets over and you feel like eating anything, you go for processed food.
The result – you are accumulating unwanted fats in your body and even disrupting the digestion process.
Try not to skip it. Instead, eat a lighter lunch to increase the level of energy. It’s also essential to spend time with family and friends to improve your physical and mental well-being.
Include a lot of nutritious food such as green salad and citrus fruits.
- Five to six litres of water is a must
Do you drink enough water every day to keep your body hydrated? Honestly speaking, most of us don’t consume sufficient water. The reason – we don’t feel thirsty in an air-conditioned space.
But you have to fill your bottle at least five to six times a day. You can even consume fruit juice to keep out of dehydration.
- Rescheduling the tasks according to priorities
If you want to manage your health and lifestyle, it’s important to schedule your tasks based on the priority basis. Think about your important obligations. This will streamline all your work and you can finish it well in time.
- Always have a positive frame of mind
We always say that a positive frame of mind helps you to reduce stress and keep yourself motivated. Furthermore, it becomes much easier for you to drive important decisions even in a very tight schedule.
Taking a deep breath and relaxing your mind is very important. It’s important to enjoy your weekends and always think about a healthy lifestyle. Think that you have saved a lot of bucks by not consuming fatty food.
- Gift self with rewards
Once you start getting positive vibes and reduce your stress, you are moving in the right direction. Continue with a healthy diet and physical workout. Now, it’s time to give yourself rewards. And believe me, you will simply love it. You can gift anything you enjoy but abstain from junk food.
- Get good sound sleep
Are you getting enough sleep and rest that your body requires. Most of us juggle getting good sound sleep, which may be due to a busy work schedule and stressful life.
The solution? Well, medical professionals suggest that an adult needs 6 to 8 hours of sleep. So, when you wake up the next day, you feel much more refreshed and have the energy to start your day on a positive note.
- Eat your dinner early
How many of us finish our dinner before 7 pm in the evening? Only a handful maybe. If you complete your dinner around 7, you gain the advantage of several health-related benefits.
You can even reduce your weight as well. It also improves the functionality of the digestive system as food gets easily digested. You can go for a walk after completing your dinner.
- Reduce your alcohol consumption
We are aware that alcohol damages your vital body organs such as lungs and liver.
Yes, you can party and get your throat drenched once in a while. But it does mean that you have to become an alcoholic. Alcohol tends to increase blood sugar levels, meaning the stress will become higher. Hence even if you are drinking, you should know the limit where you need to stop.
- Make use of the Google Calendar
You probably have a smartphone with a Google calendar installed into it. Now, it’s time to use it for your health benefits. Just squeeze in some of your appointments and include some lively enjoyable activities.
Putting all your gadgets into silent mode for some time may take an hour or so. Spend that time completely with yourself where you can workout, exercise, and meditate in a calm atmosphere.
- Break your workout routine into smaller parts
Your schedule may be jampacked. Even a slot of half-an-hour may be difficult to squeeze in. But if you divide the workout slot into small parts instead, this will work. A ten-minute brisk walk, followed by another 10 minute squat or pushup will give your body the perfect shape that you are looking for.
- Play your favorite sport
Playing your favorite outdoor sport can be a great stress buster and at the same time, it allows you to maintain a healthier lifestyle. Thus, it can act as a dual bonus for your health.
