How to maintain a healthy lifestyle?

To maintain a healthy lifestyle, you have to change your food habit and do simple exercises and yoga regularly. The following are some of the tips to maintain good health.

1. Track your weight regularly

The first thing in a healthy lifestyle is keeping track of your weight regularly. For example, you can measure your weight weekly once 15 days once, or monthly to find whether you have gained or loosed weight. Based on your weight you can do changes in your food intake and exercise.

2. Avoid Junk and fast foods

Next comes junk food. Try to avoid junk and fast foods. Junk foods have more calories and fat and are low in nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals. These foods contain additives like added sugar, refined oil, salt, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, colors, and flavours. Junk foods are the reason for increased obesity and chronic diseases.

3. Eat healthy foods

A balanced diet is important for a healthy lifestyle. Make your diet rich in proteins, fibers, minerals, and vitamins and low in carbohydrates and calories. Protein-rich foods like pulses, sprouts, nuts, meat, sea foods, and eggs are good for health. Take green leafy vegetables and fruits daily in your food. The change in food makes your body free from diseases. Healthy food improves your immunity also.

4. Don’t skip breakfast

Most college students and working women skip their morning food due to lack of time. Breakfast is more important and it may lead to health problems if you skip it. Researchers suggest, taking breakfast daily helps to boost metabolism and keep the body healthy.

5. Drink enough water

Water is essential for our bodies. Drinking the required amount of water is important for every cell, tissue, and organ. Water helps to lose weight, avoid stress, etc. But most of the time you will forget to drink water. So always fill a water bottle and keep it with you. So you can frequently drink water.

6. Do Exercise Regularly

Your body requires movement. Keeping your body with physical movement helps your bones and muscles to be strong. Doing exercise regularly helps to maintain your body weight and reduces the risk of diabetes, heart problems, and stroke. To do exercise no need to go to the gym. You can do it in your home itself. Now there are more videos available on the internet to teach how to exercise at the home. Go walking or jogging regularly, it helps to keep your mind relaxed and healthy.

7. Have a sound sleep

Sleeping is an important thing to keep our body and mind stable. Sleep for about 7 to 8 hours daily which helps to feel refreshed and energized when you wake up. Lack of sleep causes more health problems like drowsiness, fatigue, and loss of concentration. It may also lead to mental depression. Avoid using mobile phones during the night. The light from mobile phones disturbs the production of the sleeping hormone melatonin.

8. Avoid alcohol and smoke

Avoid the use of alcohol and smoking which affects your healthy life. Smoking can cause cancer so avoid it. Taking these limit your intake of food and exercise and lead to various health issues.

9. Avoid stress

Stress is the major cause of many health problems. So try to avoid stress. Most people get stressed in their work. So plan well, before starting the work and work stress freely. If you do the task under a stress you cannot complete it in the allowed time. Make yourself stress-free and your co-workers also.

10. Maintain Hygiene

A healthy lifestyle requires good hygiene also. Keep yourself and your surroundings clean and healthy. Poor hygiene is one of the reasons for many viral diseases.

11. Getting sunlight

Sunlight is one of the most essential sources for getting vitamin D nutrients. So get at least 30 minutes of sunlight daily.

Conclusion

Today people are suffering from many health problems. These problems can be avoided by having a healthy lifestyle. Let’s start to follow these healthy ways to change our lifestyle into a healthy one.

Nurture Mother Earth ~ Save soil, Save life

Don’t make our planet dry like a dessert, Make the soil fertile, let it live a long life,
Grow more and more trees, So that we can save the world from spreading disease.

Don’t make our planet dry like a dessert, Make the soil fertile, let it live a long life,
Grow more and more trees, So that we can save the world from spreading disease

The campaign save soil is started by Sadhguru to aware people about the soil crisis that is increasing day by day. We all need to stand up for soil health so that it can be sustained for a longer period of time, and we all can maintain our health as well. If the soil health will remain good then gradually we will also remain healthy, as all the plants and vegetables are grown in the soil, so it is very important to keep the soil in good condition. If we will keep on adding fertilizers and pesticides then the soil will with time become infertile. So Sadhguru has started this mission globally. Sadhguru has initiated his lone 100 day motorcycle journey in which he will be covering 25 nations from United Kingdom to India which is approximately 35000 kilometers. Thousands of prominent people and Organizations like honourable prime minister of India, Narendra Modi, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of peace, Dr. Jane Goodall have also raised their voice for this wonderful cause.
People usually think that how can we, as an individual can save soil? You can! And that too very easily! Every individual effort also counts. If we start saving soil or do any other good cause then many other people also gets influenced by us and they gradually become a part of the good cause. So we should never think that what difference will it make by a single individual. Start doing good for the nature, you will surely see it’s benefits one day. Now the question arises that how can we save the soil? Don’t worry, we have the answer.

How can we save soil?

With so many environmental issues going around like air pollution, water pollution, land pollution, global warming, ocean acidification, depletion of the ozone layer, people are looking into ways of keeping our planet sound. One such way to do this is soil conservation. Soil conservation is the prevention of soil loss from erosion or reduced fertility caused by over usage, acidification, salinization or other chemical soil contamination.
Let’s look at various ways to save our soil:

Forest Protection –
The natural forest cover in many areas have been decreased due to commercial activities. One of the purposes this cover provided was the protection of the soil. Business involved in building construction can conserve by ensuring these areas are protected.
Buffer Strips –
Soil erosion is a large problem that is being battled around the country. This is particularly an issue where there are natural bodies of water. Buffer Strips come in handy for conservation efforts. They provide protection where stream banks exists. They can be created with grass, trees and shrubs.
No till farming –
No till farming is an agricultural technique for growing crops or pasture without disturbing the soil through tillage. It helps to save fuel that the farmers generally use more than six gallons per acre each year. These savings adds up for individual farmers. Saving time and improving soil health lead to additional economic benefits.
Less Concrete Surfaces –
The soil requires adequate amount of water to function properly. Too many concrete surfaces, makes it difficult for the soil to take the water that is being given properly.
Plant windbreak areas –
Windbreaks are linear plantings of trees and shrubs designed to provide economic, environmental and community benefits. The primary purpose of most windbreaks is to slow the wind which creates a more beneficial condition for soils, crops, livestock, wildlife and people. Windbreaks, sometimes called shelterbelts, can also function in ways not related to wind reduction.
Terrace Planting –
People around the world have discovered clever ways to farm in tough conditions. Their land could be too dry, too wet, too hot, or prone to insects or damaging storms. If the land is too steep, people might try terrace farming. This type of farming is done by maximizing the topography of the land. It benefits from the way the rainwater flows naturally. This is a way to protect the soil from erosion.
Plant trees to secure top soil –
We should plant more and more trees as the trees helps to bind the soil. The tree act as a binding agent which helps to bind the nature. If there are more and more trees, it will help to prevent soil erosion, and will also create fresh air to breathe for us only.
Crop Rotation –
Crop Rotation is the practice of planting different crops sequentially on the same piece of land too improve soil health, optimize nutrients in the soil, and combat pest and weed pressure.
This practice also works to interrupt pest and disease cycles, improve soil health by increasing biomass from different crops root structures and increase biodiversity on the farm.
Water the soil –
This is a simple process that provides a lot of benefits to the soil. Watering your soil along with plants and vegetables is important. This helps to not only nourish the soil but to protect it. Moist soil is not in danger of erosion due to wind activity.
Maintain pH –
The pH levels in the soil can be affected by a number of things. Pollutants and acids are just two examples in this category. They can affect soils health and also the vegetable grown in the soil, which is eventually going to be eaten by us.

So we need to understand that along with Sadhguru ji, we also need to join hands and unite together to protect the soil. This will be beneficial for us only as we will get to eat pure fruits and vegetables and we will remain healthy. Pure soil also helps in oxidation of air.

In order to maintain good health:

As we all know that health is wealth, so firstly we should take care of our health and we will be the richest person on the earth.

So, Breathe healthy, Eat healthy, Then only you can be wealthy!

Why I Connect With These Quotes

Two of the many interesting and relatable quotes which I encountered while reading various books and online sources.

Two of the many interesting and relatable quotes which I encountered while reading various books and online sources.

Author: Geetika Gupta

In this piece, I would analyse, from my point of view. Two of the many interesting and relatable quotes which I encountered while reading various books and online sources. I’m choosing these two particularly because they reflect a part of me, that part which I always knew was inside me but was never able to express partly because I knew no one will understand and partly because I was unsure if I should express it. So, here are the two quotes which I found very much attached to my reality.

First Quote

“Self-knowledge is like lost innocence, however unsettling you find it, it can never be unthought or unknown” (From the book- Justice: What’s the Right Thing to do by Michael J. Sandel)

This statement might seem absurd or even untrue at first glance. People think that self-knowledge is a great thing to achieve; after all that is what is taught by all the spiritual leaders who conduct various seminars explaining God and soul. And that the way to achieve salvation is by knowing yourself before others, by spiritual means of course.

But is this so? I don’t think that’s the case and there’s a valid reason for this belief. Listening to all these talks about ‘self-awareness’ I also started giving attention to what I do, why I do it, what are its consequences; how it could be done differently and what were the thoughts in my mind while doing the concerned act. I seriously thought that it would benefit me in unimagined ways but unfortunately, this didn’t work out for me.

Just like the quotes says, I started thinking too much before doing anything and lost the joy of being in the moment, suddenly being overly aware of even my smallest actions, and losing my peace of mind in the process, i.e., losing innocence or carefreeness of the happening. I tried hard not to think a lot, but I could never unenvision it. While I would see others doing the same things in a devil-may-care or an almost casual attitude, I would find myself reluctant and imagining the possible after-effects of my doing of that thing. Such was the effect of self-knowledge on me!

Well, however unsettling this may be, now I can at least explain the reason behind my well-pondered acts, and though this realisation will remain with me for the rest of my life. I atleast learned an important lesson- If you are self-aware, also be self beware!

Second Quote

“I’ll have to remember you for longer than I knew you, and I don’t think I’ll ever come to terms with that”(By a social media account)

Although it could be a quote displaying a short friendship or a brief acquaintance with someone, for me it’s essentially a romantic one. When you know a person for some time (short or in reality a long period which you thought was short because you fancied that person), you certainly create some memories with them. And if those memories are pleasant, you remember that person for a longer period just for the want of

sweetness associated with the memories of the person. And this is not a choice. Later on, even when you want to forget everything (because you don’t want to remember the person or thing that the memories are interfering in your life), you are not able to. Because even though the person is not with you your mind wants solace in those memories. The details of the time spent, the feelings in your heart at that precise moment and your struggles to not keep looking at them despite wanting to, make abandoning the thoughts even more difficult.

You realize that you are stuck in an endless loop of covertly wanting the thing you overtly don’t want. You remain anxious whether or not you are in the loop. There’s a moment when you wish that you’re still in that moment when you must be oblivious to whatever happened. But you still realise that whether you wish to be or not to be in the instant; it’s again all about the same person you shared that instant with! However hard you try, the person’s name and air remain with you as a realization, always. And so, you get, the life of memories is longer than the person himself. The fact annoys you and sometimes even torments you, but hey, have you got an alternative? Probably not, and if there is, I certainly don’t know of it and apparently, I don’t want to either.
