Workout is one of important part of my life. For me it’s the pleasure to perform 1 hr daily in 🏋️♀️ the gym, excercises which my personal trainer tell me to do.
I am so grateful that I am being able to do so much with the help of my personal trainer.
To all the girls out there, if you have not started any physical activity, don’t wait for the right time.
Start as soon as possible and don’t forget to thank me later. 😊
Mindful eating can give you that happiness which you are seeking.
So if we love coffee or tea what’s the big deal. Actually our body knows what it wants . We just have to listen.
Why we are thirsty because our body needs water. So we drink water. In that same way when we think to eat something, that’s our body’s signal that our body needs that food.
Yes, sugar is the villain , but if you are celebrating once a while it’s okay.
Junk is a big no 🚫
I know it’s very difficult to avoid for the professional who are too busy can’t cook and fully rely on outside food like doctors.
We see only junk food when we go out. That it makes us tempted towards that food. So pause and search around try as much as possible for good food.
The weekend makes us reminds us to do things which we can’t do on weekdays. Like sleeping an hour or two extra, visit our favourite place, cook our favourite dish, spend time with family and friends, watch our favourite movie, chilling.
When we go out we hardly see any outlet selling healthy food. After my weight loss journey completed. I am now well aware of food healthy or unhealthy and portion size to eat. Still when after completing weight loss journey we do so many mistakes because when we are under expert guidance we don’t go for unhealthy food. We have a target or goal in mind but when that goal is achieved, then what? I am sure people who have done weight loss in their lives will agree with me.
When we have to maintain a certain weight it’s the most difficult thing. Last year in December I suffered from Patellofemoral pain syndrome, still under recovery. This makes me gain weight, due to lack of excercise and calorie burn. I felt very disappointed, keeping in touch with my coach. Now I have decided to eat mindfully and if I can’t excercise for weight loss, then what? I will focus on eating healthy again.
Now I am doing recovery excercises for knee and eating healthy. I can’t think of weightloss. My daily activities are at halt. Slowly and gradually I will gain my health back doing all my daily activities normally and only after that will think for weightloss again. I have to accept that healing will take time ⏲️.
Sometimes we come across such incidents in life that we can’t do much about it but to wait and watch. Watch ourselves to grow, to heal fully and be Strong 💪.
At this time one thing will save me and that is mindful eating. Now I know the value of balanced diet.
Eating mindfully is nothing but to eat a balanced diet. When we are dependant upon others then we have to eat according to their wish. I have made some rules to follow, so that me and my family eat less of unhealthy or junk and more veggies and fruits (healthy food).
Have junk or unhealthy food in moderation(once in 15 days).
When we visit any place make sure we search for healthy option first if it is not available nearby, then go for unhealthy ones.
Be well hydrated.
Take a fruit with us if we can. Fruit is the only healthy fast food.
Less ordering food from online food delivery apps.
According to WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION 31% of the world population is not physically active. Which makes them deprived of various health benefits of being active. Are you one of them ? Among these 31% most of them are women and elderly who are inactive.
Women are less physically active than men. The global target is to bring this 31% physically inactive population to 15% by 2030. Together we can make everyone aware about this information. Though it is a global target but remember each one of us will be benefitted by being physically active. Our health will improve and so does the health of our family and friends.
Encourage your family and friends to be active through your social media accounts, through calls. Inspire them by being an example for them.
WHO recommends that adults should have 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous- intensity physical activity per week.
Women don’t get time for physical activity or they don’t give importance towards being active. But physical activity can save us from various diseases like cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and much more. Nobody wants to be ill. For that, we have to spread awareness about the benefits of being physically active.
Encourage everyone for walking, cycling, running, playing games so that they can easily attain 150 minutes per week of moderate-intesity physical activity.
Elderly people are more prone to being inactive due to old age. The idea is to show them the picture of other elderly people who are going to the park daily. Tell them that, inspite of injury people are still coming to park. And it’s not false , I myself have seen elderly people who go to park daily, injured inspite of injury walking in the park.
Just like we all join our hands to fight against Covid. We, the world, are together again to spread awareness to be active.
We all eat healthy or unhealthy food. Without food we cannot survive. Some things harm others heal. Our unhealthy eating leads to many health issues. To prevent this situation we normally go for dieting or hit a gym.
But as seen on social media there are enormous dietitians sharing so much information that this is good that is bad without any scientific reason. That common person gets confused what to do.
Best to do in this situation is stick to homemade food as much as you can. Go for a professional dietitian who can help you through customised diet plan.
I find recommendations of Rujuta Diwekar , famous celebrity dietition very relatable, very easy to follow. When you eat local seasonal and traditional food, you don’t have to do any extra efforts to prepare a meal. Just eat right portion.
When I was under customized guidance of a dietitian. She said it’s not good to have sugar at all. How one can stop having sugar all of a sudden. She said sugar is poison, I don’t agree with her at all. She always suggest so time consuming receipes that it was not practically possible to cook all. We married women have so much more responsibilities to fulfill other than just cooking. Her approach was not practical. She always pin point what’s wrong we did but lack solutions. I sometimes felt that I am talking to a cook and not a dietitian who only have recepies to share.
We gave the power to these type of dietitians to take the lead and we will follow. But what I experienced is you just have to eat local, traditional and seasonal as said by great Rujuta Diwekar. Eat local thinkglobal are her words. Each and everything which she says in her videos are so relatable and easy to follow that I fell in love with her knowledge, personality and the way she convey things in a funny manner.
We only have to eat healthy and there is no need for dieting. When we eat healthy , the benefits which we gain through it is enough to make us fit in every way. Another important thing to do is remain active. Means, excercise regularly at least 4 days a week.
When we change our lifestyle to a healthier one. We start mindful eating, when we eat mindfully we don’t need anyone to tell us what is right for us. Our conscious mind will automatically choose right things only.
400 gms of fruits and vegetables a day are enough fiber for the day. Eat pulses daily it will fulfill the requirement of protein. Avoiding sugar or eating less sugary things will take you to right direction. Your sugar cravings will become less after sometime.
Less fried food is another one challenge we all face towards healthy lifestyle. Health should not be measured in terms of our weight instead it should include our overall health parameters.
As WHO warned about the outbreak of covid variant J N 1 in many countries we should be more careful about our health and should take precautionary measures where it is needed.
1. Avoid Crowded places.
2. Wear mask
3. Use handwash or hand sanitizer.
4. Social Distancing
Weight loss industry will only direct you towards weight loss. They are less concern about your day to day minor illnesses. There are very less players in weightloss industry who are sincere towards their clients and treat them above their monetary interests.
The thunb rule is before joining any of the plan first enroll for the basic plan for sometime. If you find worth it then go for their premium plans.
Never stop learning new things. We all have plants in our home. What we do, water them, put fertilizer, timely cutting. After cutting, the plant never refuse to grow, instead the new leaves and branches are more strong and beautiful than before. Learn from the plants, forget all your past painful experiences cut off from toxic people, learn new skills and grow. More strong, more beautiful.
We do exercise daily to be active, so that our body be in shape. Brain also needs to be in shape and active, for that we need to do something new daily, learn new things, evolve in some creative things. We all eat and make food at home. We follow the same receipe which our mom has taught us, isn’t it? For a change, try to do some innovation, follow the same receipe with a twist. I am sure all will enjoy the twist and makes them happy. You too will also involve your brain in thinking how to make the receipe more interesting. You will learn, without spending a penny. All in your family are happy including you. Learning doesn’t mean you have to go and join any course. You can learn new things at home itself. There is so much content available online. You just have to know, what you want to learn. What is your area of interest.
Every day new things are developing, new technology overtaking the old one. We must always be updated. There is no harm to adapt new things. Learn about new technology. Old is gold but new is also not less than gold. You can pray or meditate in morning and still be a swiftie. Be aware of what is going on in the world. Stay connected. Learning is growing. When you stop learning you stop growing.
Never say you know everything. Always have an open mind and learn.
Men should learn how to cook. When both men and women cooks in family. The dependency on outside unhygienic food becomes less. So, automatically there is less chance to get ill. Healthy family happy family. My mom and dad both were working and my dad knows how to cook. At times when our mom was not well our dad used to cook and pack our tiffin. He is 74 and still cooks. Cooking is an art learned by many but mastered by few.
Teach your son how to make his bed, how to wash utensils and cloths,how to cook. When he will have to go for higher studies, these things will help him a lot. My son knows how to cook.
