and what really bad is gaining
unnecessary fat. The diet should also
consist of twenty five percent fat-
avocados, nuts and olive oil.
Carbohydrates are the chief source of
energy of the body. Therefore, the
diet must also contain at least forty
five to sixty five percent of
carbohydrates.
Health and well being is the most
significant obtain in life. The habits
we pick up regarding food choices
and physical activities when we are
young installs a mindset for future
health decisions in our life. We now
see kids rather play video games and
phone apps, staying indoors in
comparison to going outdoors to stay
physically active. The most important
key role in having a healthy lifestyle as
a kid is the environment and access of
healthy foods.
Many of us are guilty of an all-or-
nothing mentality when it comes to
fitness, which is equally important as a
balanced diet, in maintaining a good
lifestyle. We hammer the gym hard
before a holiday, but when life gets in
the way, our fitness jumps out of the
window. However, exercise is a
powerful natural stress-reliever that
can flood one’s body with ‘feel good’

exercises (Sanskrit: pranayam) are
certain great methods to relieve stress.
It is important that we don’t feel

is also important in preserving a good

When a person is stressed, his/her
sleep often suffers. But staying up late
to tackle a growing to-do list is
counterproductive. Getting as much
sleep as possible when feeling
overwhelmed will help to manage
stress. Stress wreaks havoc on
emotional equilibrium as well as
physical health. It narrows a person’s
ability to think clearly, function
effectively and enjoy life. Effective
stress management helps to break the
clasp of stress on life and be happier
and more productive.
The ultimate goal is balance life, with
time for work, relations relaxation and
fun- and the resilience to hold up
under pressure and meet challenges
head on (try practice 4As: avoid, alter,
adapt or accept).
It is important that along with
accepting new reforms and
reinforcements in lifestyle, we stay in
high spirits. But the fact is that
happiness lies in their life ,it is what
they have to find.
