5 Small changes to live a healthier lifestyle
With everything in the world going on right now and God knows how long this is going to last, it's very important to keep ourselves evolving for the better and motivated. Here are five ways I have found to be really beneficial for a healthier life.
Prioritize good sleep habits:
Sleep is one of the most cardinal factors for good health. Lack of sleep has been found to lower immunity (the most brutal threat right now). Just like working out, sleep too deserves a routine.
- Make a fixed time to hit the sack and wake up everyday.
- Try to squeeze at least 6-7 hours of sound sleep. (I know 8 hours are impossible for working parents)
- Switch off screens at least an hour before bedtime
- Do not carry your work into the bedroom.
- Don't take caffeine after 5 PM. You can drink Chamomile/Jasmine tea before bedtime.
- Always change into fresh clean clothes before hitting the bed.
- Make your bedroom/sleeping area your zen corner.
Add instead of restricting
We are often trying to restrict ourselves from lot of things: sugar, empty calories, mindless television watching and so many others. Although restrictions should always be there in life, let's focus on adding the good things.
For example, eating salad for dinner when consumed junk for lunch; an extra hour of walking when lazy the whole day, meditating more when spent too much time on phone, fruit and vegetable juices instead of alcohol, taking supplements instead of weight loss tablets, etc.
Additives like calcium supplements, multi vitamins, immunity boosters are indispensable. I recently came across Nature Sure Kalonji (Nigella sativa/onion seeds) tablets and found them to be miraculous. Benefits of Kalonji are mentioned in many ancient scriptures including Ayurveda. Traditionally, Kalonji is believed to be useful in more than 100 ailments.
What are Nature Sure Kalonji tablets for men and women made of?
Made with pure and top-grade natural ingredients, Nature Sure™ Premium Kalonji Blackseed Tablets are the nature’s blessing for a good life. Each tablet contains 300mg of 100% pure extract of Kalonji (Black Seed, or Nigella sativa). Daily use of these tablets helps strengthen your body from the inside, protect it against several health risks, provide antioxidants and purify blood.
How do they work?
- Helps rejuvenate body and mind, stimulate brain and digestive health
- May be used as an adjuvant for managing diabetes, and regulating sleep cycle

PRECAUTIONS/ SAFETY INFORMATION

Move your Body
I can't stress enough that moving is so important. Even if you are home bound during this Corona pandemic, make sure to do at home workouts. Or you can climb and descend the stairs multiple times to set your heart racing. The endorphins released are the greatest mood elevators. Throw a nice pair of leggings and you would be motivated all the more!
Take breaks and don't feel guilty about it
When you are working from home or at office or even you are doing housework non stop, you deserve a break. And that's not even the important part; you should not feel guilty about it. Breaks increase productivity and uplift mood too.
Make friends with people who are different from you
It is said that if you are the smartest person in a room, you are sitting in the wrong room. Even Confucius had said 'Never contact a friendship who is never better than thyself' . Of course if our friends are not different or better than us, then where would be the scope for us to improve?
Hopefully dearies these are some points that may bring a positive change to our lives. Let me know which ones you are going to follow.
