Rules for a HEALTHY LIFE

-

They don’t say health is wealth just like that. If you’re among those who take their health for granted, it’s time you change your outlook. In life, there are very few things that are as important as your health. So, look after it well. And these rules will help you do just that...

EXERCISE

If you aren’t a gym person, there are plenty of exercises that you can do in the comfort of your own home. Try and get a couple of your friends together and workout in someone’s home a couple of times a week. If that’s not possible, then join an aerobics or kick-boxing class together. The motivation you receive from your friend will be an added bonus. Another task that you could do is walk. Walking for 30 minutes everyday has numerous benefits.

DANCE

It’s okay if you have two left feet. It’s fine if you look funny when you attempt to dance. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. There are innumerable dance classes all over the city that offer to teach you different styles. Not only will you learn something, you’ll also stay fit.

MEDITATE

With the fast paced, stressful lives that most of us lead, it is important to slow down and give yourselves some time everyday. Take at least 10 to 20 minutes to just sit and practise some deep breathing exercises. It’ll do you a whole lot of good.

SOAK IN THE SUNLIGHT

Sunlight has numerous benefits. That doesn’t mean you spend hours under the sun without any protection. But a few minutes daily will help your body produce enough vitamin D that is so essential for good health.

SLEEP

Cutting down on your sleep to get more work or chores done will eventually burn you out. On an average, you need to get seven to eight hours of sleep every day. Make up for a late night by resting adequately on the weekend.
 
DON’T GO ON BINGES

Binge drinking is worse than being a regular drinker. Indulging in huge amounts of alcohol after a long gap upsets and harms your body — skip it. The same goes for extreme diets as well.

EAT HEALTHY

Do yourself a favour and cut out all the roadside and junk food from your life. It isn’t good for you and if you really can’t do without it, allow yourself to indulge on a rare occasion. Keep yourself hydrated with plenty of water throughout the day.

To-Do Lists

-
The Key to Efficiency   Do you frequently feel overwhelmed by the amount of work you have to do? Do you face a constant barrage of looming deadlines? Or do you sometimes just forget to do something important, so that people have to chase you to get work done?   All of these are symptoms of not keeping a proper "To-Do List". To-Do Lists are prioritized lists of all the tasks that you need to carry out. They list everything that you have to do, with the most important tasks at the top of the list, and the least important tasks at the bottom.    While this sounds a simple thing to do, it's when people start to use To-Do Lists properly that they often make their first personal productivity / time management breakthrough, and start to make a real success of their careers.   By keeping a To-Do List, you make sure that you capture all of the tasks you have to complete in one place. This is essential if you're not going to forget things. And by prioritizing work, yo...

According to a recent study, cutting down on soft drinks reduces the risk of a stroke by eight per cent and coronary heart disease by almost five per cent. “Our findings suggest that reducing sugar sweetened beverages and sugar consumption may be an important dietary strategy to lower blood pressure and further reduce other blood pressure related diseases,” reveals Liwei Chen, the lead author of the study. On the other hand, fruit juices are a smart addition to any well-balanced diet, providing vitamins and min...
