Be the man who takes care of his own health. You should not be the man whose mother or wife has to convince to take care of his health. When you are healthy, you work well, become smarter and stay away from stress. If you can plan for your outings so well, why cannot you follow a healthy routine? Don’t you want to live longer? Here are simple steps to inculcate in your daily routine.
1. Eat healthy:
Eat! You should eat at least 3 meals a day to meet the nutritional requirements of your body. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Just because you are running late for the office, doesn’t mean you will skip your first meal. Choose fruits over burgers and pizzas to stay healthy.
2. Exercise:
Practice yoga or perform stretching, running or hit the gym every day. Do not be lazy and let your heart race faster and pump more. Even if it is just a 20 minute thing you have planned to do every day, you can still end up being healthy. Exercise at least 4 times a week. Your body will thank you for it!
3. Meditate:
Sounds boring? Practise it for just 7 days first and see the difference. There are many interesting techniques to meditate that you will find on the internet. Chant a word that brings peace to your mind for 20 minutes continuously and you will stay alert all day long. Breathing techniques can also be performed. Let your mind experience that silence where it is away from everything happening around you.
4. Cleanse your eyes and face more often:
The pollution levels have increased and it is time to use your face wash more often. Do not let the soil particles get into your pores. Wash your eyes thrice a day. Let them relax from the computer and phone screen for a while.
5. Sleep:
Take proper sleep for 7-8 hours every day. Do not let lack of sleep be the reason for your dark circles. Proper sleep ensures that your mind stays alert and fresh during the daytime. Remember that sleeping for more than 8 hours is also harmful for the body. Follow a daily sleep routine and stick to it. Your body will start signalling you to sleep and wake up at the same time thereafter. You will also become an early riser soon when you feel better each day with the above mentioned steps.
