How Do I Maintain a Balanced Healthy Lifestyle?

Agreed that it’s 2021 and working from home past one year has kicked the healthy lifestyle just out of the table. We don’t want to go out anymore or indulge in any outdoor activities. Life has become cosy and comfy from the kitchen to the bedroom and from the bedroom to the laptop. But then, one thing that COVID has taught us is to never take our health for granted. A healthy lifestyle needs to be maintained. So how do we balance this? Here are 6 tips to lead a balanced healthy lifestyle.

Mindful Eating Habits

Sometimes you eat because it’s lunchtime and sometimes when it is stress time! You need to distinguish what is hunger and stress eating. Work often leads to stress and this leads to unnecessary munching, which is an unhealthy habit. Try avoiding social media/tv while eating food. Know your food timings and realise when you are off the track and stress eating junk. Be mindful of the food you eat and ensure that it is nutritious and healthy. We recommend ActiHealth’s supplements, too, that you can include in your regular diet. Our supplements contain all the essential nutrients and vitamins that improve your lifestyle, immune system, mental health, and a lot more. Order yours now!

Exercise Often

Now, we don’t need to stress this point, do we? Because deep down you are fully aware of how important movement for your body is. Regular exercises keep your body fit and your mind present. Schedule one time, a minimum of 20 minutes for yourself, your body, and your mind. Stick to this routine daily, initially it’ll be a nutcracker, but at the end of the day, it’s worth it. No wonder the happy hormones are released when the body works out. Hey, also did you know that this hormone is called the Runner’s High? Try it out for yourself!

No Meal Skipping

So while you are on this quest of losing belly fat or weight, don’t skip your meals. This deprives the body of basic nutrition to function and hence making you feel even more lethargic. Also, anger issues start cropping up when you are hungry. Skipping meals also enhances the tendency to overeat the next meal which is again one unhealthy habit. Replace your regular meals with more proteins, fibre diet and less sugar

Sip Water, Not Soda

Agreed that soda is tastier to sip with your lunch, but replace it with water or healthy fruit juice. The benefits of this are innumerable and have been raved for about years now. Keep yourself hydrated and eat juicy fruits for better results.

Surrender Occasionally to Cravings 

Occasionally is the word. Surrender occasionally to your cravings. Remember that part of a balanced lifestyle is also balancing your cravings. So treat yourself to your favourite chocolate or pizza. Just a reminder that occasionally doesn’t imply daily.

Control is Everything

Do you have the habit of tasting everything on the dinner table? Sounds like a great idea, but it’s not. How much you eat is as important as what you eat. Know your body, consult a nutritionist, and make yourself a set diet. Do not surrender to the moment and grab everything. Portion control allows you to set limits and stick to them

In the end, it all sums up to you being punctual and following your set of rules. A healthy lifestyle demands a lot of mindfulness. Empty the garbage and induce healthy habits one by one. Take it easy, but do it for yourself because the results are quite rewarding.
