running fit

1. Try to cut back on salt: Excess intake of salt is linked to water retention or weight; therefore, it is best to take only the required amount.

2. Try to have most meals before 7-8 p.m: If you eat most of you food hours before you sleep, your body is able to digest it better. Good digestion is key for healthy weight-management.

3. Try to stick to a balanced diet: Make sure you include all essential macronutrients and micronutrients in your diet. Good carbs, good fats and good quality protein are crucial to keep us healthy and fortified. Do not eliminate a nutrient from your diet without understanding its impact.

4. Stay hydrated: At times your body intermixes signals of thirst and hunger. Drinking plenty of water helps you keep away from unhealthy snacking, and is good for digestion, healthy kidneys and skin. If plain water bores you, you can try herbal tea and infused water as well.

5. Divide large meals in small meals: It is a good idea to split your large meals into multiple small meals, this helps you watch calories and is also good for metabolism.

6. Cut back of processed food, ready to eat mixes, tinned cans: All these foods are mostly filled with fats that do no good to your body. It is also a good idea to avoid trans-fats from junk food and fast food.

Theres no as such rocket science behind weight loss. Its all about calculations in terms of your diet and physical workouts.Stay fit!

1. Stick to a solid sleeping schedule

Don’t underestimate the importance of getting a good night’s rest. Sleep is when your body recovers — whether it’s from exercise, stress, or something else entirely. Getting a solid amount of sleep every night has been linked to higher productivity, increased ability in the gym, and higher levels of mental activity. In short, sleep is important.

2. Follow an easy morning routine

The morning — or whenever you wake up — may be the most important part of your day. That’s why you need to develop a routine, keep it, and use it as a springboard to set you off for another round of victories, says Mark’s Daily Apple.A morning routine can be simple — shower, eat a healthy breakfast, make your bed, and you’re off. Maybe mix in some meditation.

3. Drop the sugar

Sugar is linked to all kinds of negative outcomes. Your best bet is to kick the habit now and never look back. Start drinking your coffee black, your tea without any sweetener, and opt for a piece of fruit instead of having a bowl of ice cream or reaching for a Snickers

4. Find ways to relieve stress

You’re going to need to find a way to decompress, or blow off some steam. Some like to go to the shooting range or play pickup basketball or soccer. A great habit to get into is weight lifting or running to relieve stress. Other fantastic, stress-relieving habits to pick up are meditation and yoga.

5. Drink more water

Not drinking enough water can lead to mental and physical fatigue. Research also suggests drinking more water throughout the day can help you lose weight. Many people often confuse hunger and thirst, and end up eating more than they need to because they reach for food instead of a glass of water.

Many countries are now under lockdown. This measure is crucial to minimise the spread of Covid-19, but what impact will it have on health and wellbeing?

Research shows that being sedentary is bad for your physical and mental health, so staying active during this difficult time is important. Being physically active helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol and can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

Things to do in this lockdown:-

Yoga

Yoga is great for the body and the mind, and you hardly need any space to be able to practise.

Total beginners or experts could follow Youtube Videos, or purchase a book of yoga poses to work from.

There is also a range of apps that will guide you through a virtual yoga class.

Once you get into it, you’ll be feeling really zen!

Yoga is perfect for anyone who is feeling anxious, as the need to focus on your breathing will transport your mind elsewhere.

Cleaning

During the outbreak, it’s important that we keep everything at home squeaky clean… but did you ever think about the fitness benefits?

Cleaning your home is a great workout, and you can burn up to 190 calories on a tough job like scrubbing away dirt and grime.

Stripping your sheets, doing your laundry, and making your bed is a great upper body workout.

Hoovering the stairs, dusting, washing up- you name it, they’re all exercise.

If you’re really on the ball, why not add some squats, lunges, or heel raises while you’re doing these things?

SINGING

It doesn’t burn off calories but singing can do wonders for morale and choirs all over the country are going online to prevent their voices going rusty during the pandemic.TV choirmaster Gareth Malone has set up the Great British Home Choir, while the 500-strong London City Voices is streaming its rehearsals directly on to YouTube.

INDOOR GAMES

Indoor games help us to practice essential cognitive skills and enhance the parts of brain responsible for complex thought and memory formation. Creative indoor games help the brain retain and build cognitive associations well in old age.

Stay home,stay safe!!!
