Sedentary Lifestyles - Five Best Quick Tips..!

Sedentary Lifestyles : Five Best Quick Tips..!

By Dr. Ramakanta Panda, Asian Heart Institute, Mumbai

1. Eat right & sleep well..!

Eat a low-sugar, high-protein balanced diet.

Sleep is a critical recovery period.

So you might want to cut down on the late dinner post work, but best to not cut down on your sleep.

2. Practise some form of exercise..!

Not having time to exercise is the most outdated excuse in the world. A 30 to 40 minute walk, always using the stairs, and getting up from your work desk every half hour are all easily possible.

3. Use breathing techniques..!

When racing thoughts keep you from falling asleep or / you wake up in the night and can not get back to sleep, learn some methods of breathing from a yoga guru.

If you have time, on your day off, go for a yoga class or sign up for some form of group rejuvenation activity.

4. Schedule your day..!

 We think that if we work the full eight to 10 hours, we will get more done. Instead, productivity goes down & stress levels go up. The better approach is to eliminate interruptions.

International studies have shown that if we have intense concentration for about 90 minutes, followed by a brief period of recovery, we can clear the build-up of stress and rejuvenate ourselves.

5. Self-monitor..!

Self-monitor your major health indicators: This is the best way to be healthy.
